  • Yes, it is. Try going without it for a few months and you'll see.

    • I can go without months without a problem, but I've long accepted I'm abnormal

    • You don't feel... uncomfortable?

    • No, for me it really doesn't change. But I recognize that for my fiancée it's a need (we had some sexless periods and she made it clear she hates them) so I do my best to avoid a sexless relationship.

  • I guess it is a natural need really both for women and men

  • For me yes, it’s an issue

  • It is for most people.

  • Fundamental as in food, warmth and shelter? No. But it is a need of sorts for wellbeing. It’s just not a necessity or basic need that’s life and death.
