its not. masturbation is sufficient

Biologically not reproducing is the same as death. As far as your genes are concerned not having sex is the same as not having food, and thus has a simular psychological impact. Everyone's happy to say sex is a basic need until incels get brought up and then suddenly "masturbation will do" :^)

Masturbation has no intimacy you idiot.

>normies complain about sex dry spells
>"I haven't hadded sex in 2 days!!! It's a disaster!!! I have it worse than the starving children in Africa!!!"
>"Girl you haven't had sex in 3 days?? Get yourself a man honey, YOU DESERVE IT!"
Why are normies so hypocritical?

heh. *teleports around u*

hierarchy of needs is a pseudo-science

Wait, so I can't have a sense of self esteem without a sense of belonging?

It literally isn't
The biological and psychological benefits of sex are completely absent when you just masturbate in an attempt to reach orgasm and temporarily belay your primal urges

>eating paper is sufficient
>sleeping on a park bench is sufficient
>drinking dirty water is sufficient

if masturbation isnt sufficient then youre just not fapping hard enough.

ur mom is a pseudo-science

I have a gf who most would regard attractive, yet I don't require sex, it is really getting to her, I prefer a 2 minute fap when I feel the urge. It's just fucking boring desu. I'm probably strange as I don't require intimacy.

HA! fuckign gottem

>Has a girlfriend
>claims he doesn't require intimacy
???

I don't, the companionship is ok, but I'd rather be with friends, never hug and kiss. It's shit on her if I'm honest, I don't know what she sees in me or why she is with me.

You are most likely attractive. Girls will put up with everything as long as the guy is hot.

I used to be, now I'm a fat fuck.

>reaching the saftey bracket
get out normie

Unless you are a midget or a whale, hotness is 90% face

>the majority of people in the world aren't even past the first 2 tiers
what a shitty world
stop reproducing

It's still held up, crazy if that's it.

No and no, this is a troll pic.

>Maslow was a troll
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs

Yeah, pretty much.
>"the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy."[4]:236 Maslow studied the healthiest 1% of the college student population.[5]
To know about what makes people dysfunctional and held back, make sure to ignore those that are?

Huh, today I learned that sex is a basic need on Maslow's hierarchy, and that the whole theory was bullshit.

where's the different between sex and sexual intimacy? it's on the first and third level of the pyramid

"Sex is a basic need"
Yeah tell that to Gandhi
Be self sufficient Rakesh

Of course it's bullshit. 99.99% of psychology is bullshit. It's only starting to get better now (slowly) because the harder sciences are starting to hit it over the head.

>I'm too deficient to get this myself so someone else should provide it for me, sex is a NEED gib me gib me gib me
When did Jow Forums become literal niggers?

>so someone else should provide it for me
It's iffy whether that's included in the definition of needs.

Sex = just fucking, like random sex or paying a whore.

Sexual Intimacy = A relationship, sex with your significant other.

thats the point, maslow didnt want to learn about deficits, he didnt want to fix broken people, he wanted to learn how a healthy mind works

>Sex is a basic need
Tell that to Tesla

>learn how a healthy mind works
The prerequisite nature of the levels is the only interesting or useful claim in the hierarchy theory, though, and that makes the less than perfect people obviously relevant.
Without the prerequisites, it becomes just an obvious list of nice things, some obviously more nuanced than others.

Sexual release is a basic need which can be achieved through masturbation

Reproduction is akin to survival in the long term, and I think that's the only way it makes sense for sex to be in the same basic category of needs as breathing. Masturbation doesn't help towards that end.
If the need for sex is instead seen as relief from sexual frustration, with masturbation being relevant, that seems vastly less dire and basic. Maybe prioritize that on the safety level, security from blue balls.
