As a woman with close female friends and family members, it’s common for me to hear, especially from young women, how they don’t comprehend the whole “sex is a need” outlook.

Why? Because sex literally isn’t a need for women. The average woman does not have a physiological response to lack of sex.

We also tend to get dopamine and serotonin hits and general levels of satisfaction and mental fulfillment from many other aspects of non sexual intimacy: emotional intimacy, platonic physical affection, general comfort and closeness to others, etc.

I sense that even if a man had the above bolded, he would still feel physiologically dissatisfied because of the lack of sexual intimacy, at least demonstrably more so than a woman. A woman could subsist on non sexual intimacy for far longer than a man.

Outside of the physiological aspect, there also seems to be an extreme psychological component to a man’s self worth associated with whatever he experiences entering a woman’s vagina or other orifices.

It then creates a contingent of men who only focus on sexual intimacy, but feel dissatisfied because they have no idea how to build closeness and intimacy outside of a sexual lens.

This post was inspired by this comment:

Why can’t women understand that men simply do not experience a lack of sexual intimacy in the same way they they do.

Your biology isn’t the same. Your body isn’t the same. Your sex drive and biological imperatives aren’t the same.

Women’s solipsism just can’t allow them to comprehend that men going sexless has far different ramifications to individual men and society than women going sexless.

This isn’t to say anything should be “forced” to be given to men, but women should also STFU about legalizing prostitution or men going to other countries to find a partner, yet women still shame all of it.

This is precisely like a man telling a woman that “postpartum depression is no big deal” because the man doesn’t experience it after a child is born.
