I think it is very overrated. No, i am not asexual or anything. I have high sex drive and all but i feel like i can live without it all my life On the other hand my mates are obsessed with it and i find it quite surprising. Views.

It's only overrated if you're with the wrong person. Gotta have a bond beyond the sex stuff or you can definitely do without it.

It is in the sense that it is held as a criteria of self-worth in today's society. People would rather get laid than get paid.

When I'm not in a relationship, I can live without it. When I AM in a relationship, I basically want it all the time.

I think it's overrated when people insist that they need it to survive or that their life is miserable without it. If I was in a relationship and it was sexless, I WOULD be miserable - in my view, what's the point of carving out a space in your life for a partner if they're not going to participate in a terribly enjoyable act of intimacy with regularity? Totally different if there's a health issue causing the problem, but generally, I'd walk.

But I've gone years without sex, and it hasn't really phased me as long as my life has been generally happy.

It's overrated because I do not see it as a "need." In quotes because I have heard that from a lot of men who post here.

I have been on several long stretches in my life without it.

Great sex is awesome.

Mediocre sex is ok, sometimes pretty good.

Bad sex is way less good than good oatmeal.

Desperation for sex... I always figure it's something else they are really desperate for. Connection, closeness, touch, someone to whine at, something like that.
