Does anyone else here ever go into a depression, because they can't get laid?

I'm just curious. I get this way an awful lot. I'm otherwise a very strong person, psychologically, with very few issues -- but I seriously contemplate suicide whenever I go through long periods where I can't convince any women to sleep with me. (like 6 months to a year, or longer.)

Can anyone relate?

Six months to a year? LOL... try eleven years.

Sure, I get 'down' about it but suicide??? Nah... other things to live for.

Up to a point. Now, in this case, it seems that the OP is somehow dependent on sex for his happiness and well-being. That's where I differ. What gets me down is not so much the lack of sex as the lack of a relationship... with me the relationship comes first and then sex. So in a way the two go hand-in-hand.

Perhaps the OP may wish to consider working on getting into a relationship and not get so down about the lack of sex. If he's in a good relationship then sex naturally comes along with it.

I have heard of this before.

It is entirely psychological in origin. Your body does not force you into a depression if you don't have sex, as the actual mechanics are very easy to achieve on your own...your mind does. .

You need to either make yourself way more attractive to women, or get some help dealing with celibacy psychologically, or start with the hookers...or perhaps all 3.

No, it's really not. sex is a sensual experience that i can't recreate on my own.

I'm going to take a guess and say it's not the sex istelf that you miss (because that can be similated through masturbation) but that you miss the closeness that you feel when you are with someone?

Orgasms are easy enough to achieve. If you want the other stuff that goes along with sex, then perhaps you should attempt to find a lasting relationship, because this sounds more like loneliness. But people generally don't want a lasting relationship with someone who isn't happy.

So get some hobbies, start working out, make some new friends, see a therapist and maybe get some pills for the depression issue. Because otherwise, you're just going to be in a continual cycle.

Right, and I think this wording in the OP
Quote:

is telling. Just from that it sounds like sex is not an experience that you share with another person, it's something you have to goad her into.

My original advice is still valid - I notice you didn't comment on any of it? -
