[sarillia]

I was actually reading a really interesting discussion about that once. I think it can be a need for some people. I think it could be seen as a subsection of our need for human interaction. Like how everyone needs food but the exact types of food that people need vary between individuals because of allergies and hormone issues and everything. So maybe some people really do need sex for optimum mental health.

But that can still go down some bad roads when you start arguing about the obligation to fulfill another person's needs. Some people think that's an obligation and some people don't, and if you're in the former group then I definitely get why you wouldn't want to think of sex as a need in any way.

I mean, some people need a lot of things, but when you say "sex is a human need" you frame it as something every human needs to survive. (General you, obviously.) I don't necessarily disagree with you - I mean I don't know? has anyone ever literally gone insane from not having sex? because that's what happens if you deprive a human of all social interaction and put them in complete isolation. do they become dysfunctional the way humans do if they're not isolated but deprived of normal interaction? I have never heard of any of this.

Anyway, like I said - I don't like the way it's set up. Maslow's hierarchy lists it as a PHYSIOLOGICAL NEED which is utterly ridiculous: "breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, excretion". Sex is quite literally the only thing on there that you don't physically need, as in, will DIE from not having! Why is it there? And when people buy into "sex is a need", it's a slap in the face to a) asexual people and b) people who choose not to have sex, for any of a variety of reasons.

Not to mention, yeah - all kinds of questions about who, exactly, is obligated to fulfill that need.

I'm an extroverted asexual.

I need social interaction, otherwise I will snap. I do not, in any way, need sex. Literally no one, even sex addicts, needs sex.
