How have you determined that these people have normal physical and mental health?
You haven't determined that there's people who aren't in normal physical, mental health without sex. You won't look for them either because like I said people want to beleive sex is required for every person so they will deny if a person tells them they are fine without it.
I was always a very low profile person and a good friend rather than a potential boyfriend. Besides, I was busy with my career I didn't even think about it to be honest. I just went to work, came back home, had a few hobbies during the weekend and that's it. And I have my 3 nephews and a handful of godchildren.
If you are okay in life with your godchildren, work, etc and don't feel like you need a sexual partner, then that is fine with me. I'm not going to convince you that you do. I get sick of people trying to shove their way of life onto others who are telling them they are fine the way they are.
What's ironic is what is 'mentally healthy' about forcing a person to do something they don't want to do?

It's not a matter of "feeling fine", it's a matter of being used to it. I would enjoy possibly having someone but I would feel sorry for the poor woman. I couldn't stand living with a person like myself.
Seriously? You are not aware of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? And you are 52??
The basic physiological needs – these include the things that are vital to our survival. Some examples of the physiological needs include:
Food
Water
Breathing
Homeostatis
In addition to the basic requirements of nutrition, air and temperature regulation, the physiological needs also include such things as shelter and clothing. Sexual reproduction is also included in this level of the hierarchy of needs since it is essential to the survival and propagation of the species.
This is taught in high school for crying out loud.
I knew that but I think sex is an outside there. If you look at the other needs, you truly wouldn't survive them. That's not the case of sex.
Sex isn't a "basic need", but it is a "basic want"...at least for most, I'd assume.
Not having sex..that's fine. It's your life after all, do what you will with it.

Then what you just stated is not the same thing as what I am talking about then. At the end of the day you WOULD like to be with someone else sexually. I was speaking about people who 'feel fine' and do not feel as if they need sex with another person, even if offered, I fall into this category. My physical health is alright, but my mental health is better at times, worse at others for a few key reasons (flawed brain chemistry, life stresses, head injury, etc). Getting involved in a sexual relationship would NOT be helpful to me, so why should I force myself into it to appease others? Some people are not the type of people that can be tolerated to live with or as a partner. They need to face reality on this and at least you can admit it. This 'lid for every pot' talk is bullsh*t. I'm sorry to say, if you don't think there's someone out there that could tolerate being with you as a partner (for whatever your reasons) then there's probably not.
