Just asking. Let's say somebody never experienced either before. Could they be affected mentally especially in a society like America where love and sex is seen as a must?
I think it would only be if they feel terrible about it. There are the several asexual people who don't really care since they have no attraction for anyone....

No, I'm still here. I have before but the last was 7 years ago! I'm lonely but fine.

I absolutely believe that a person can become affected by a perceived lack of love in their life.
People can be negatively affected by ANYTHING. But love doesn't only mean "romantic/sexual" love. People can be without a spouse or significant other and still be surrounded by loving, fulfilling relationships. People can be alone and not be lonely. Being unmarried or celibate does not automatically resign one to a state of mental dis-ease.

True, but I don't feel that extremely long periods of isolation is good either. It's just something that humans need regardless if we want to put up with the BS of relationships or not, the difference is, the desire does not reveal itself as urgent as hunger or thirst.

How could that happen? They have no hormones so they remain a child forever? If they go through puberty, they will have sexual feelings. Won't they?

Well, there are ways to deal without a partner...people have been doing it since day 1. And some people have always chosen a celibate life and seem to survive.
