Is sex a physical need?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I'm even more of a grumpy sod if I don't get 'a fix'
It's a physical to psychological/emotional transfer mechanism. Now I just need a different dwarf so I'm feeling happy instead of grumpy for a change  |

Well, according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, building intimate relationships and a sense of connection and closeness is a need, and I suppose sex has a lot to do with that. So on a mental & emotional level, yes sexual intimacy is a need.
(I did health & social care at college, we spent far too much time studying Maslow's hierarchy  ) |

"I know I won't die without it but god, I really could do with some good sex soon!!"
For me it's more mental/emotional.
If I go weeks without cumming it's physical too. I can get rid of the physical need on my own, but the mental/emotional side needs the build-up, the intensity, the fun, the closeness and the giving/sharing aspects which you can't get on your own. |

has there been a drought causing a shortage of single men while i slept?
on topic my guess is that at least having an orgasm once in a while is a physical need |

"If someone was to say to me you HAVE to give up sex. (For what ever reason)
Then so be it.

I know I would!! Xx |

I think its both physical and emotional, but personally if I can't connect with a person at a "mindset" level I rather not have it, it doesn't solve anything, infact it makes the entire healthy desire turn into a negative feeling of dissatisfied. |

I do miss that intimacy and affection at times but I've spent most of my life without someone so you do learn to live without it. |

This borders on the philosophical for me. I guess you could say that only food, water and the ability to maintain your core temperature are the only true needs. Once we have those, everything else is a want. Sex and intimacy are both wants that recur again and again, its one of the motors that keeps humanity alive. Its matching up those wants with another that brings joy to each of us. Isn't everyone different in all their own glorious complexity? |

I don't like this division between needs and wants as it ends up promoting a fact-based view of life over a value-based one. For example, we might say that we need water, food and oxygen... but that we only want happiness, love, friendship, intimate sex, etc. This gives off the illusion that a life without the latter is a life... when I would argue that it isn't. I think it's important to recognise happiness, love and friendship as fundamental needs of all living things... and it only takes a cursory look at biology to recognise that, for many organisms, sex is a fundamental goal/factor in their existence too.
For me, I'd argue that intimate sex is the apex of finding acceptance and appreciation of who you are in the universe. It forms an important basis of a relationship... when it's good it demonstrates love... without this we sometimes need to fall back on the faith that someone loves us. Those are my thoughts anyway  |

Unfortunately need and want are different words with overlapping meanings and this highlights the hazards of semantics, I was being very literal, whilst trying to look beyond that too. I don't think we are saying fundamentally different things |

Chemically we can crave things too, and our bodies encourage this for survival. Just to mix this all up a little. |

No I don't really. I gues it depends how much you get it I think? If you would everyday then yes you would miss it more I think. |

I depends who I meet and what connection we have. |

Sex in itself probably isn't a physical need, but the connection, that spark between two...I would say yes.
Dosent have to be a relationship kinda connection/spark, as long as its there though makes sex better. |

Ive found if there is a connection it is much better i think of it more of a no strings partnership both mutually satisfying and get the closeness like a relationship but no baggage or commitment. |
