what's the major differences in wanting sex and needing sex

After a long history of meeting psychologists and therapists, really think none of them would've noticed any of these 'so-called' disorders I have? Especially when I'm laying upside down to watch TV in the lobby in front of them?

So, one more response, before I totally consider you are just whipping out answers out your culo just for the simple sake of arguing.

I can live without sex.

WANTS
1. Television.
2. Jewelry
3. Cars
4. Laptops
5. Matchbox Cars

NEEDS
1. Oxygen.
2. Water.
3. Food.


A want is something you want, but don't need in order to survive.

A need is the exact opposite.

oxygen, food and water, are the needs/requirements for survival for ones physical state, but the other things you mention under "wants" may be a requirement/need for ones mental state

the fact that you have a long history of meeting with psychologists and therapists suggest that I'm right ....

then clearly you must still be a virgin?....er...right?

oxygen, food and water, are the needs/requirements for survival for ones physical state, but the other things you mention under "wants" may be a requirement/need for ones mental state

That really glosses over the distinction of needs vs wants. Every want would be a need for a given mental state.

This is exactly what I was referring to earlier. If each snap shot brain state is its own reference, then all of the factors that lead to that snap shot are requisites for that snap shot.

Not really profound and I cant really see how it adds anything to speak to the needs of a the person as a whole.

So what happens to your brain state when you dont have that matchbox car . . . it will change to a different brain state, perhaps one that includes tapping a pen on the desk from boredom.

I just dont see the need to justify needs with the reference being flexible brain states. You have to take snap shots in order to use it as a reference and it ignores any transitional characteristics and it ignores the being as a whole in favor of a singular brain state.

.ie you really need to stick to the standard definitions of needs/wants the more you fuzzy up the picture with references individual snap shot brain states, you just toss away any usefulness the distinction between needs and wants and really gain nothing in exchange.

PS: this would be a great topic in its own thread about cognitive functions, but when it comes to the cosmo argument it really is way off topic.

..for depression.

Not anger.
Not OCD.
Not Autism.

So, no, you are not right.

clearly your psychologists informed you that your depression may be a result of anger or OCD and/or Autism or something else

Mental State?

Still, no.

That's an addiction, not a requirement.

You do NOT need any of those listed to SURVIVE.

Thus lies the major factoring difference.

Think differently, yes.
Perceive differently, yes.

However, without that car, TV, or toy..

You will not die.

That is the major, significant, difference between a want and a need.

One is a necessity.
One is not.

Tell you the truth..
I'm not even sure how we got this far off topic...

lock yourself in a room with just food and water with no light ......then you will understand why "want" is "need"

....wow, now you are truly grasping for breathe.

PTSD.

None of which you mentioned.

Of course, now you will make the illogical concept of linking them to three totally unrelated disorders and proclaim the logic behind it.

Regardless, we decimated enough of Bushido's awesome cosmo thread, so if you wish to continue this, start a new thread. If not, I win you lose. Everybody gets a cookie.

I got work to do.

Later.

I'm not trying to win anything simply pointing out what you posted ...and perhaps your psychologist and therapists aren't the best....all you have to do is look up the term "Autism Spectum Disorder/watching television upside down"
