Can lack of sex contribute to depression?
What do you think?

Guys I’m asking because I feel the older I get the more frustrated and stressed I feel. I’m a virgin - out of choice because I’ve yet to meet a good man and be in a healthy relationship. Everyone has their own timing I guess and mine just hasn’t come around yet. I feel that having sex and that intimacy in my life would elevate all the negative feelings I have. I try to feel better by talking about sex with my friends, and wearing lingerie and working on my body at the gym every day.

17 95Yes sexually frustration is a big problem. Person become more aggressive and annoying if sexual need is not fulfilled. And some people get deprrresed also.
I have been through same situation as yours. Most of the time I get frustrated because of lack of sexual activity but I'm also waiting for my only partner. at least you have talk about sex with your friend but I don't have any friend whome i can talk about.
Well, I think so, because it can lead to mental exhaustion.
Welcome back.
Thanks
I do. I feel you need to feel some love sexual connection so you feel good. Also sex relieves all your stress, anxiety, and wash away your worries for awhile and it can also clear your head.
True
I can see that
For sure
I guess it can. If that person is obsessed
It happens to me so many times. We have to keep move on
Yes, nobody likes feeling like a reject.
I think if by a certain age you aren’t getting physical intimacy from a romantic partner of some sort, there are negatives. I think by age 16-20 you should be finding a partner and if you aren’t, it’s rough
Nope..
not exactly.
lack of sexual stimulation or feelings of attractiveness can impact people's emotional well-being.
poor emotional well-being can lead to depression.
No, I don't think so
How come I didn't get MHO?
If you are in a marriage and your partner is withholding sex, that can be very depressing.
Kind of like when your partner withholds emotional intimacy
@Subarugirl "Emotional intimacy"... Very few men are good at women call "emotional intimacy".
Lol what women call emotional intimacy? Lol it is what it is. If you don’t understand what it is I can find the definition for you
@Subarugirl Well that's just it. Women demand this thing called "emotional intimacy" but most men haven't a damn clue what that is. What do you want? Do you want me to ask "how are you feeling"? Do you want me to ramble on about my "feelings"? Men show love differently than women. We fix things, brush snow off of her car, protect her, work overtime to afford the things she wants, etc... but it's never enough.
What you don’t think intimacy isn’t important in a romantic relationship?
Sounds like you’re just picking the wrong kind of women because that’s not how real women are.
@Subarugirl I think intimacy is critical in a relationship, but for men we are constructed differently. Too many women want men to act like their girlfriends.
The majority of women want an emotionally available partner
@Subarugirl Men have no idea what "emotional availability" is. Our emotional wave form is much smaller than women's and trying to change us only results in resentment.
That’s called weaponized incompetence and that is a manipulation tactic. If you are incapable of emotional intimacy, or unable to express yourself emotionally you have some sort of psychological issue and I highly recommend that you see someone for that…. Because that’s a problem and every psychologist on the planet would agree.
@Subarugirl 'Weaponized incompetence "? Are you fucking kidding me? Your world is so gynocentric you immediately jump to being a victim.
Oh I can explain if you don’t understand
@Subarugirl Why are men ALWAYS the ones who have to change?
No one is asking anyone to change who they are, just be mature enough to manage mature relationships
If you think that’s unreasonable just say so
@Subarugirl Why is female behavior always the gold standard in a relationship? Demanding emotion from a man will normally make him angry and drive him away.
Well then he shouldn’t be in a relationship if he’s not mature enough to be emotionally available
Yes it can.
God Bless
I would say yes. No feel good endorfens.
I believe that it can, but sex for me personally seems to relieve tension and stress more than anything.
I think yes, but not for everyone.
True
Veryyyy much
