These questions are really interesting, because I wonder if people actually spend time trying to figure it out like it's some mythical thing....Sex isn't like water, where it's a necessity to live. However, depending on the person. Each person is influenced by their experience or lack of experience. I feel that a person who has had a very healthy sex life, will seek out sex, and hold it to a greater importance, than a person who hasn't had it, or has had poor experiences.

However, those with little or poor experiences, can quickly become someone they never imagined themselves being. I've seen women who didn't really have a huge hunger or need for sex, become insatiable, almost as if that good first taste, erased years of bad, creating a different person. I would hope that everyone had the potential to really enjoy sex, because it's a pretty incredible thing to share.

IMO, sex is another form of communication, and is an integral part of a healthy relationship. For myself, without a steady stream of quality sex, I would feel a major part of my relationship was missing.
Good post ^^^^. Interesting question in general.

For myself, sex is very important. But I have been on all sides of the equation. As stated by many, it is not needed to survive, but it IS needed to thrive. Sad to say I have been without for many years, even though married. Life isn't bad, but it isn't great, either. I am missing something I want desperately. And not talking about the solo act, I mean sex-with-intimacy with another person. Everyone has different needs; and sometimes it takes a special person to awaken those needs.

[quote=Ace_TX;37390432]some aliens land here on earth this tuesday, november 25th @ 2:17pm in stillwater, ok.

an 9' tall slimy green alien (female) comes out the mothership and says we come in peace

men from all over the world would flock to oklahoma trying to figure out how to have sex with that alien

so what does this tell you?[/QUOTE]


LOL.

That men will go anywhere and travel any distance to have sex, AND that they'll have sex with anyone, as long as it has a vagina?

Oh, no. Wait a sec... DOES that female alien HAVE a vagina? All those guys who drive all the way to OK for sex are gonna be pretty pi**ed if she doesn't.

I've heard of couples being abstinent, but I'm not sure if they are for real. For me personally it is important, it's a different kind of bond.

I would say its important because, at least until very recently, without sex there would be no grand scheme.

Plus, for men, at least straight men, the more women you sleep with, the lower your risk of prostate cancer is.

Hmm, I don't know. If I don't have [some really, really good] sex soon, I might WANT to die.

Yeah, but the more women you sleep with, the greater your chance is of an STD, even a deadly one.

To add onto that, I've also heard that masturbation reduces the risks of prostate cancer so pretty much any form of release apparently is good for the ol' prostate. *shrugs*
