Unhealthy?

>WE R ANIMULZ WHO JUST POOP BABBY
It's a miracle you remember how to breathe every morning

I think sex has a lot of great health benefits BUT the trick is it can also do the opposite too.

Have multiple partners can create problems because of diseases. Condoms are NOT 100%. Just think of that small percent and your with someone that gives you incurable shit.

I think if you have a healthy partner in a healthy relationship dynamic, you good. Otherwise, Russian roulette

Then why is hooking up promoted so much in modern culture? (i.e Tinder)

What's it with teenagers trying to appear more intellectual by lashing out with /pol tier responses

I haven't had sex in 11 years and it is not impacting my health at all. Obviously it is a bit lonely to be single, but it is not like I get depressed or frustrated or anything.
I am a happy, outgoing person who is thriving professionally and personally.
I am just a regular guy.

We're a very unhealthy society.

Please don't think just because it's socially acceptable that it's healthy or ok.

Omg where can I find you? Lol

If it makes you feel lonely and as an outcast, yes. If you're fine with not banging, then it's a problem. Orthodox monks are some of the healthiest people on the planet.

No

It's an intellectual reply to an intellectual comment
The "we are made to reproduce" thing is so fucking tried. Might as well suggest Freud and that we all want to fuck our parents

Christ on a cracker.

But we literally are made to reproduce. That’s just science

Yes, sexually deprived people act strangely and are never fun to have around. Always very anxious and tense.

>Food, water, air and shelter
And joy, otherwise prison wouldn't be considered punishment.

>The "we are made to reproduce" thing is so fucking tried
Doesn't make it less true.
Every single organism out there strives to reproduce, from microscopic amoebas to birds and plants.
We are not special.

>wouldn't be considered punishment
I mean to people with shit to lose, being robbed is a punishment for living near people, not being home, awake, whatever it is

A lot of people at rock bottom aren't gonna feel a lot from going to prison so it's not really a punishment in as much as a reaction

Joy is something I'd say the modern society is hung up on, an obsession of purpose beyond survival

Eh, preach what you want, asexuals make me think it's really not even that complex-- we're just genetic, statistical vomit devoid of properties. We just attach all this meaning to shit and purpose because it brings us more comfort than "you just are, now stop bitching about needing a greater function"
I've never bought the "we are just made to reproduce" but I've also never in my life really wanted kids.

>(((Tiinder)))

I'm 30 male virgin

It's fine not to have sex, OP.

Tinder is talked about everywhere. Even in the news there are articles giving millenials tinder advice

Long story short, yes, it’s unhealthy.

Not really.

Don't compare yourself to your peers who have a sex life.

Joy is absolutely essential for survival.
Homeless people often choose to invest large portions of their money in alcohol instead of rations because feeling warm inside and not being afflicted by depressive thoughts is just as important as food.
Very intelligent animals such as octopi refuse to live in captivity and will let themselves die rather than accept an environment that isn't their own.
Lots of inmates choose suicide as well, especially if they are condemned to isolation.
There is nothing modern about striving for happiness, even before civilization we were entertaining ourselves with painting and sculpture, striving for the best mate and raise children despite the fact that having them drastically reduces your survival potential.
If there is something that is a complete social construct and result of our innatural civilization, that is asexual people.
They are no different from people affected by depression or autolesionistic behavior.
They are dysfunctional because they are not in touch with nature.

Let's examine this question.
My text book providing Maslowe's Needs is packed away during this move. Therefore, I'm having to go from memory. I noticed that the Internet has a *substantially* different labelling from my text book.
Level One: We are simply expected to need to reproduce. Now, in this day and age, the urge and the attempt can have a planned crop failure, for which I am grateful. It is still normal to have that urge to merge.
Level Two: Exercise! Except for those who are already too close to dead for which the act might kill them, the exercise is important to overall health to avoid being dead.
Level Three: For those in a committed relationship, to simply touch and be touched by that other person fulfills that need to be wanted.
Level Four: For those in a committed relationship, one can know that one is important to and supportive of somebody else. That self esteem need is met knowing that "I will be there for that person".
After meeting, I had to wait a year for Supergirl to unbecome jailbait. We became stead"ish" two years later. I have been married to Superwoman for nearly 30 years at this writing.
Remember, as kids, males peak out at 19. She won't peak out until 39. Can you keep up with her? It is not so much today that you need to worry about. You need to be man enough to cover the needs 20 years from now.
Level Five: To become the Superman that will keep Superwoman home, happy, fed, laid, and ready to face each day in a post retirement life on acreage in BFE.
I'm not sure that most of these posters can do this. Most of the postings that I read are thinking today, not tomorrow.
Question: Is it unhealthy... Not necessarily
BUT, you are really missing out!

Why is excessive and overly-gorey violence promoted in all forms of media? Why are people proud to have children who grow up to become athletes who overwork their bodies and break their limbs or get brain damage? Why is fast food promoted more and healthy eating seen as pretentious to many?

Just because something's the norm, doesn't mean it's good.
