The question was whether or not sex was NEEDED to enjoy life. Does sex make it better? Of course. So, does having lots of money or perfect health. But, they are not needed. One can find happiness in life in different ways.


If I don't enjoy life without out it then it's needed correct?

I guess so. Which means the answer is not the same for everyone. Some people need it and some don't apparently.

So, what does the person do who's spouse becomes ill and can no longer have sex? Can they be happy or are they unable to enjoy life any longer? I guess I don't understand how happiness can depend on something like sex.

I think we have different definitions of the word "need".

Of course the answer is going to be different for everyone. Not everyone is going to have the same feelings about having sex.

Yes, I think so. I need it because I enjoy it and am not willing to live a life without it. Does that mean I have to be having sex all the time to be happy? No. But, it's definitely an important part of life.

I think it's different for each person.. some people will cheat with no regret... some people will abuse their partner and feel justified.. Some people need to drive a nice new car every few years or an expensive car.. They won't die without it but they aren't happy not having it.. We all have needs and each of our needs are different...

So, you were just speaking for yourself even though you quoted me.

True. My ex-husband's needs for sex required him to cheat when I was sick for months at a time.

I agree.. Living it now but missing it which means I'm not completely fulfilled... Am I happy? Sure as happy as one can be while still missing something intimate and special.. And as Gravel mentioned those chemicals released do wonders for increasing your feelings of happiness.. Chocolate is close but I don't think it compares no matter what some say... LOL


hmmmm.... i did have these chocolates from france once.... laugh

Yes, when I said I disagreed, I was speaking for myself. I can't read other peoples' minds and I don't think everyone thinks the same way I do.

And that is wrongflowerforyou . My thinking is that someone that would cheat on a spouse that is temporarily ill isn't showing love and commitment and very wrong... I haven't set my opinion on the terminally ill or physically unable partner situation which is why I I emphasized 'temporary'....

I think that sex is the release and the taking in,,,of another persons fulfillment of frustrations gone, as two hearts penetrate each others souls, to give BOTH that which we love to feel.
Total Peace and gratification at one moment..our completed release
of our selves....

SO,,,,can we live w/o sex..can we self fulfill our desire for sex,w/o that real kind,,,yes...

But do we feel a void by IT not being there,,YES.

Just as we do,,,,that void of being alone..WE HAVE BOTH,,as a NEED.
Or a forever MISS?

Just MY thoughts here?whoa

Sex is not needed, but it is like a shortcut to get to happiness.


Not needed?? ... mmmm .. if you mean not having it won't kill you, sure!

But it certainly WAS needed wasn't it, all those 30 or 40 years ago for you to be able to be here, just in order to compose this post!

... and then, apart from procreation .. pray tell how you go about expressing your love, or consolidate your connections with another human being, if 'sex' is not part of the equation?

IMO sex is an integral part of intimacy ... and without intimacy ones life becomes very 'humdrum' and 'boring' [now, where is that post by that 'sweet young thing' complaining about being 'bored' ... i must find it and reread it *smile*].


Very well put on te intimacy factor.

I'm sorry to hear that. Fortunately, not everyone will be like that.

Interesting question. Because of mingle2 policies, Shiki cannot get into specifics. However, he knows of at least one East Coast Shikette who feels that sex is necessary, and he can speak from first-hand experience that she enjoyed it (multiple times).

Shiki has only been here a month and has already found someone to be with multiple times? I'm sure she'd love you broadcasting that in the forums.
