Your Sexual "Need"

Good point. I guess that'll come in handy as a vital reminder when I'll be fighting another urge at some point in the future. Yet I think sex is a little more than just a simple want. It's human's highest desire. After all, sex is what has caused tiny single cells to evolve into us. And personally, my ultimate goal here is to develop a healthy sexuality.

 

I don't think you have thought this through melancholy. There are more needs in life than only food, water and shelter. I have provided a link below to show that we have many needs, with sex being one of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs

Furthermore, you must concede that God implanted a sexual need in humans so that they would "be fruitful and increase in number." - Genesis chapter 1 vs 28.

 

i think sex is a need - as mentioned earlier a healthy sexuality. not an sex-obsession.

the main point in my opinion is controlling the lust. not the other way around lust is controlling us.

we have to command the lust without any compromise.

sex is a great activity.

 

Well, check this out: w12 5/15 p. 5 par. 9 "He implanted a sexual need in humans so that they would “be fruitful and become many.” (Gen. 1:28)"

 

I agree with you, Melancholy Weightlifter. There are plenty of people living healthy lives who don't have sex or masturbate, and they do continue to live, many into very advanced years. This is a really important distinction to help give a feeling of true choice in the matter to the individual like me whose "need" is cluttered with demoralizing fetishes, fantasies, whatnot, and who could stand to unplug from this desire in order to reformulate his approach. Confusing my drive to orgasm with a need was a big reason that I relapsed. Come to think of it, it's commonly known as "sex drive", not "sex need." Hope I'm not contributing to a viewpoint schism here, but I do want to validate your point while appreciating others' varying contributions to the discussion. I most definitely appreciate healthy attitudes in favor of sex, which is one thing that I love about this forum. Cheers, guys!

 

Sex is not needed in order for you to live a happy life. But sex is an extremely strong drive and if done in a healthy manner is very good for you and your woman (all natural PIV to O without any prophylactic).

Good article, be sure to read down to the part about PIV. http://yourbrainonporn.com/relative-health-benefits-different-sexual-activities-2010

 

I need sex. I won't die without it, like I wouldn't die without feeling human emotions of love, joy, etc. but it would hardly be a life worth living without those things. Human desire is strong and should be nurtured in a healthy way. The problems that brought me here are that I couldn't control my desire for fapping and that is a much bigger issue. The reality of the matter is I was not healthy when it came to my sexual desires.

These are all opinions, I don't think we have to worry about which is right or wrong. The goal should be to live the life that you desire and do so in the healthiest way possible.

 

Sex to be fruitful=need

PMO, sex for pleasure=want
