sex for mental well being?

[L3]

i was discussing this with a buddy, cause i've been bitter and he thinks part of it is that i havent hit a girl in 2+ weeks...

do you guys think is there a innate need for a man to have intercourse in order to function "normally"?

[waderow]

yes, but 2 weeks is **** all....

I think if you go for some years you become a shell of a man and lose all self esteem and confidence.

[RagingRandy]

Maybe you have the cause and effect reversed.

I need to have it at the VERY least once in 2 wks or I'm a super edgy dude 4 real!

[BBbox]

Thought you got back together with your ex?

Anyways I think 2 weeks is nothing and shouldnt have that HUGE of an effect... I had a long distance relationship once and had to go often a month without... It sucked but I didnt become bitter and angry because of it...

You should not NEED to have sex to function normally. Of course you always WANT it but if you cant even deal with more than 2 weeks without you may have some other underlying issues that you need to solve. Sounds like youve been using sex to feel better about yourself which shouldnt really be necessary.

I think having sex definitely effects your mental state. Your body is programmed by evolution to reproduce. Sex feels so damn good. That great feeling is like a reward. If u dont have sex, you dont stimulate that part of ur brain, and u don't get that biological feedback from releasing those endorphins. Your mood/motivation/drive changes. Sex is physical, emotional, and mental. Before and after sex u can be in totally different mental states.

2 weeks isnt much. maybe u got other things on the mind that ur bitter about and not having the good feelings of sex to distract u form them ur more bitter then usual?

as did i, until she made it clear that she was drunk and didn't really mean any of it, so we decided to make an effort to be a part of each others lives as friends with the occasional spontaneous hookup

lack of intercourse is at the bottom of the priority list

just wanted you guys' opinions on sex = better mood

50/50 for me. I get the anxious/depressed when i'm not getting it regularly, but then when i'm getting it regularly there seems to be all kinds of crap that comes with that too.

I think thats called addiction, better call Dr.Drew.

i know if i dont get it for 3-4 weeks i get really pissy and want to hit people and i turn into an asshole , but when i get it i am a much better guy, and the woman knows it to she can tell i change. The worst if i dont get it 4 weeks then when i am back home and she isn't in the mood or trys to get in the mood cause Her Red freind is in town or near town, thats where i almost flip out or wanna just put in dry and be as rough as **** with her LOL.

Sex, money, and family and freinds thats how i roll

yea man i've been out before for about 3 months..... drives a guy ****ing crazy, then you hit a point where its not that big of a deal.... but christ its tough up until then

My ex used to say that I am always sorta angry if I hadn't had it in a while...chances are that it was her pissing me off tho

I just went through that.. the longest "break " I had in probably 6 years..
**** it was ridiculous, but I was soo busy that I didn't think bout it too much.


Just noticed that every girl started to look hot.. and then the disaster happened....
I had a few drinks.. perhaps a few too many and ended up banging an ugly, somewhat overweight ex co worker..
The moment she sorta touched me.. my brain turned off ( poor or lucky her.. I guess)...

I should have jerked off prior to leaving the house.. now I have to dedal with my stupid friend AND an ugly bitch

[megwell]

it's been 3 months for me now...... not good....... not good....... bad times bad times... i think i'm gonna cry now.
this is another reason i haven't started a cycle......i'd be too horny without any release

[gregdoucette]

my gf being deployed for over 5 weeks so far out of a 6 month term. Its not easy, ur not going to be as happy but u can get through it. Just thoink of all the people who can't get it even if they try. Although I think the hardest thing is knowingh u can get it anytime and not acting on it. Just my 2 cents.

Having sex is an instinctual release, particularly for males in their late teens/early 20s. Essentially you have a biological urge to act something out, which can't be changed by simply turning a psychological switch. We're talking about the very essence of the drive for existence, so yes, I think if you have a healthy sex life you will be mentally and emotionally healthier.

I'm 44, so I can attest to the fact that women in their 30s (their prime sexual drive age) are much happier and easier to deal with when they are sexually satisfied. If they're not, they're not particularly fun to be around, which seems somewhat analogous to what you're asking L3. I don't think you need to have sex to feel ok about yourself, but it has a biological effect that can't be denied. :)
