Are all your basic needs being met, in particular sex?

Question

Here read this boios

 Sex is a basic human need. Many of you may know about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. According to this theory, humans have several levels of needs, including physiological, safety, social, esteem, and actualization needs. The needs at the bottom (breathing, food, sex, etc.) are basic needs that must be met for a person to be happy. Once the lower needs are met, you can focus on the higher needs to become fully self-actualized. If you're not getting laid, you're not meeting your MOST BASIC NEEDS.

Many of you may know about Pareto's rule. This rule states that in many, many areas of life, 20% of inputs are responsible for 80% of the outputs. Applying this to sex, 20% or less of adult males are probably sleeping with 80% or more of adult females.

You'll hear A LOT of guys say things like "I don't care about sex. I'm just trying to be successful." This is bull****. This is an excuse for not trying due to fear of rejection. 

Not getting laid for long periods of time makes it harder to get laid at all. Fall into this type of cycle and you could end up very unhappy for a very long time. There's no magic fix and I don't have the answer. I suppose the only real point of this post is to point out what should be an obvious fact: Not getting laid will make you depressed. If you are depressed, don't worry... you're not abnormal and there might be nothing wrong with you.

Guys who go through huge droughts and then start getting laid. They almost instantly become cool, normal guys. As someone who has been on both sides of this, I can attest to this idea.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that you're depressed because you're smarter than everyone else or because society is disgusting or anything pretentious like that. Don't give up on getting laid. Just try. If you get rejected, you'll find out it's not as bad as you thought. If you succeed, maybe you won't be depressed anymore.

Try telling someone without food, water or health that sex is a basic need. It's not. It doesn't mean it's not an great thing, like having a good balance of vitamins.

But try to get sympathy from someone dying of starvation or cancer or from their loved ones watching it because you masturbated instead of plowing hot chicks like you want.

Your pity party is lame, kid.

So you think men are depressed because of lack of sex? What about women?

Esteem and safety could use a boost.  My sexual needs are being met.

Other than sex/intimacy, yes. But I'm currently back in the stage where I don't want to talk to or interact with women. I just don't have the patience for all their bullfuckery right now. I'm much happier lifting weights, going fishing, going shooting, and hanging out with my friends.

I like this. So much truth. You won't get a positive response out of this website though.

Is it just me, or are the top 2 tiers backwards? I mean... Pretty much all of those green things come from doing the blue things. In the order given, those 2 layers make no sense.

I'm in a LDR so the physical part of it is lacking. :(  Still we do other things to make up for it and that works fine, while we wait to meet up.

I don't see how sex can even be considered to be just as important as the other things it's listed with :/

Nope currently at level one. I am young though most dont pass all the levels to self actualization till around 25 to thirty which is still early

Phoenix98 · Answer

Lol sex is a natural part of life sure but it's not necessary for ones health or individual survival. It's pleasure and reproduction that's it, also FYI you can get a similar bodily reaction and release of chemicals from other activities that you can also get from sex.

I'm demisexual, which, if you've never heard of that, is on the asexuality spectrum. It's a bit close-minded to assume that sex is a basic human need for everyone. It is for a majority of people, but I can't say that I feel depressed just because I don't have sex (and I especially find it hard to grant sex the same level of importance as breathing, water and food). If you hear me say that "I don't care about sex", it isn't automatically "bullshit" just because you read on the internet that sex is apparently a basic human need.
