It seems certain men confuse being sexually frustrated with depression. There is definitely overlap but it's important to know the difference between the two to start looking at your life objectively and making improvements. However claiming sex is a need and you have lack of will to live without it is melodramatic at best and hints to a much deeper issue than simply sexual frustration at worst.

Some of the symptoms that overlap as far as I'm aware are: Lack of sleep, irritability, lack of motivation, low self-esteem and difficulty concentrating. However, claiming lack of sex is causing you to lose your will to live, deep self hatred, constant unhappiness that doesn't go away, affecting your ability to function in daily life and causing you to consider suicide isn't attributed to being sexually frustrated, you simply have depression. You can be sexually frustrated and have depression at the same time of course but it's reckless to go around saying because you can't get sex you lack the strength to go on. A better way to phrase it would be "I lack the strength to go on AND I'm sexually frustrated" rather than "I lack the strength to go on BECAUSE I'm sexually frustrated".

Just clarify, I absolutely acknowledge that lack of sex can cause depression but I think it's important to not blur the symptoms together. People don't commit suicide because they're sexually frustrated and can't find a date, they commit suicide because they are deeply, deeply unhappy and suffer from depression. If you have lack of will to live because you can't get your rocks off twice a week then you have deeper issues that need to be addressed.

Men, what are the symptoms of sexual frustration and to what extent does it impact your daily life? I'm really interested and open to understanding how it can affect men in different ways. Thank you for reading. :)
