Can a person be truly happy wihtout sex?

Usually only if they have some kind of higher purpose, I'd say.

Yes. Give stoicism a shot. It's like buddhism without the gay.

I have no chance of happiness in any circumstance, so I'm not even going to bother with it.

I think it's a real need and I can only think of people with autism and Aspergers not needing it. It's unnatural not to want to stick your dick into something.

Grow up ya robotnic kunt and do some reading.

No.

We're born with this urge to have sex/reproduce.

It's very difficult to suppress that.

It was a joke. Relax you fucking queer.

Long term deprivation does some serious damage, and has far reaching consequences, beyond simply getting laid.

I had sex when I was in my very late teens and twenties, but I don't give a fuck now. Relationships are work, and I already have plenty of work.

Sex is not that important, but being close to someone you love is.

can you give me the sauce/explanation on that pic?

My 2 cents as a 24 yo virgin

Yeah, if you focus on what you don't have you'll be unhappy, but when you try new things and just live your life you'll find a reason to smile, it just won't be about sex.

I've always been more on the depressed side so maybe don't take my word for it, but I know people who get tons of sex and I'm surprised to find out they have suicidal thoughts and bouts of depression even worse than I do.
