Nothing unless you make it that way (or let someone else). I'm doing fine without either sex or a relationship (not that I've had that so I can't speak for those of you that have). Focus on your hobbies and improving yourself. I promise you that is better than living for someone else (not that everybody in relationships does that, I'm just saying, some do).

Sex, love, etc is just a piece of the equation in a healthy life. Just like food, vacations, family, nature, etc. A little bit of everything is fulfilling and healthy. Some people need one aspect more than others.... but generally it's the whole that keeps us well. You have to keep in mind that we're hardwired to require sex to be healthy.

Personally, I could not imagine life without sex. Just sharing an experience with someone that puts you in the most carefree mindset is incredible. Plus, it's better when someone else is doing the work for you.

Eh, you'd be surprised. You know the term 'spinster'? Or 'crazy cat lady'? I think women can be single/in a dry spell for longer before people start judging, but they end up being cast as weirdos anyway.

The difference with women is that the reason why they end up single and alone for a long time is mostly because they brought it on themselves. They are too picky in the men they choose. They are attracted to jerks that treat them like garbage and hurt them, and they push away the nice guys who would be potentially good boyfriends/husbands.

sex drives are different for everyone.

i'm someone that needs it more often... i recently went for about a month without any and, yeah, it was hard to deal with (pun intended?)

masturbation is not even close to the real thing.

i'm currently on about a two week drought.... it's a bit easier to deal with now than it was a few months ago but it's still an issue. there are very few things more important than a healthy sex life to me.

sex is NOTHING. it's like everybody puts a huge importance towards sex and love and all that stuff when it's not even that serious.
Anyone who thinks that "sex is nothing" has in all probability never had good sex or never been in love. Sex is serious and love is extremely serious. I can't imagine going through life never having loved someone or been loved. It must be a very lonely and meaningless existence.
