...I want sexual healing, as Marvin Gaye once sang.
Do you find sexual intimacy is a need beyond the simple pleasure of the act? Does it improve your mental health if you're being regularly intimate, and is there a difference if there's emotional intimacy too or is the physical act enough?
I find that if there's no sexual intimacy in my life for a while it does become a need rather than a want. And yes, I'm in the 'need' zone right now  |

I get your point, but I think it's a bit of a catch 22 as the need becomes a barrier to forming the kind of connection which provides said feeling.
Although I've had a few dalliances where we've both succumbed to the proximal sensation. |

'Need' was probably the wrong word - I don't mean you'd have sex with anyone regardless of whether you fancy them just because you're horny. I mean more that it becomes something you find yourself missing. |

"I need the emotional intimacy too. They need to feel like a friend."
Same. The physical act without the emotional intimacy feels like a less-than-satisfactory wank.
I go through phases. Sometimes I couldn't think of anything less appealing. Other times it feels vital to my wellbeing. |
