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.

  • Yes 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".
