Besides reproduction, do you think one would be better off without sex or lust in their life?

Question

If you became asexual and your libido was completely gone tomorrow, would it somehow make your life worse? Or would your life get better without all the distractions lust brings up in our lives? If you either never wanted kids, or already have the most number of kids you could ever want, would you truly think there was a useful benefit to sex in society? Besides the selfish purposes of people feeling physical pleasure out of it. I personally think a libido, or sex itself, is more of a detriment to society than a benefit. Children aside, look at how many men act like complete losers and simp out to a woman. Or the extremes women go to, to exploit their sexuality for gain. I am not like most men in that I don't let my penis control my life or destiny. However, sadly, I still have sexual urges and desires, on rare moments. I do kinda wish I was just asexual, though. I can't imagine how much more efficient and accomplished I'd be in life without such a distraction.  Women already desire sex only a fraction as much as men do (most women barely ever desire sex, at all), so imagine how much more efficient and successful other men would be in life without sexual urges holding them back? But what do you think?

No, I don't think it would make things better. Sex is important to a relationship, its actually necessary to have functional pair bonding (which is why when a relationship starts to have less sex in it, both parties become less affectionate and less attached not more so). Now that said I think one should keep it under control, if your thinking with your dick/vagina all the time your going to make stupid decisions that ruin your life and likely other peoples as well and will make you over all less productive. So its all about balance.

I'd going to claim yes. Simply because life is more than sex. Relationships are more than intimacy. If I was ever put into a situation where I found the perfect wife, my perfect match but the only catch we could not have sex. I would totally do that simply because sex is not the major thing that is vital in life. It is fun to experience and it can bring you closer together but just the simple ideas of brothers and sisters, you can have that same non-sexual closeness with a partner

Brainsbeforebeauty · Answer

That would be if people only have sex to reproduce.. But that isn't the only reason people have sex.. They have sex because of the natural sexual urges our bodies produce.. They have sex to share physical or intimate love with their partner.. Some people misbehave sexually and for those people, maybe it would be better for them not to have sex.. But to say that would be better for everyone, then no I would not say that. . It can actually be harder for those that lose the physical ability to have sex but still get the urge

sex like any life pleasure causes good and evil. It is still a pleasure and it is still beautiful.

Life would suck!
What if all we had was healthy but extremely bland-tasting food? Life would suck.
I'll take ecstasy even if it can sometimes have negative effects, just as I will take liberty over safety. Life is meant for living.

I don't know if you have ever had a satisfying long term relationship that included a good sexual relationship, but I have and I am not prepared to give up all of the joy that has brought to me in the past, and hopefully will bring again in the future.

MrsCM · Answer

Interesting question and questionable subtext. But no sex is a thing to be enjoyed and a key part in life

Berethor · Answer

I don't think that it change much, and you might as well say that relationships are unnecessarily.

Nops... sex is a must have in life... u can't enjoy or have true fun without sex

worldscolide · Answer

Nope, because sex is fun, and its a fundamental way in which we communicate love to our partners.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Yes, if I was still single. But for people in relationships, sex is a very good thing, and I think it would be a net loss if it was gone completely.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Absolutely better.

bastiónpassion · Answer

As much as I enjoy sex, I do think it would be a relief to either age out of my sex drive or have my penis/balls removed to finally be over my strong sexual urges

REDHOTLINE · Answer

Yes its better. if there is no sex we dont need women and we are free

CreamySeed · Answer

Sexual urges are a need, do you like feeling hungry? Thirsty? I dont. It gets it the way of logical goals because a hole is dug that didn't need to be your body just created it out of no where and said “fill this”. I wish I were asexual
