You didn't say people need sex. You said men. It implies that men need sex more than women and that dangerous things happen when men don't get sex. No one says women who don't get sex are dangerous or carefully controlled. Now why is that? Culturally, that statement perpetuates the idea that dominant men are carefully controlled forces of sex. Necessarily, that implies that women are less dominant, weaker and uncontrolled recipients. Have you met many lesbians? I would say the two I know have stronger sex drives than any of the men I know.
I say we are all human animals who like sex but don't need it for personal survival, regardless of being male or female. No one ever died from lack of sex but it can be a strong driver of behavior in humans in general.
Oh geez, lol. I don't think it implies that at all. He is a man who likes men. And I feel that his questions are directly related to something going on in his life, hence the wording.
But since we are on the topic, there usually is a significant difference between men and women and how they express sexual repression (if that's what we are talking about here).
When a woman doesn't get that release, she can usually handle it better because there is no build up like there is for a man (aka blue balls). There is real physical pain. The sperm will continue to build up if it is not released. The more build up the stronger their need becomes. Which could present as sexual aggression (and/or other forms of aggression if not dealt with properly).
I think the best way to help a woman understand is to compare blue balls with lactation. Any woman who has had a child knows the pain of swollen breasts due to milk build up. If that breast milk is not expressed, it can become unbearable. You desperately want/need that release to function properly. And once you get that relief you can finally relax. This is something a pregnant woman's body physically needs when she has this problem. It needs to be dealt with. Do you see the connection?
So does that mean that men need sex? Not necessarily. But I think it is an important ingredient in any healthy relationship (and health in general). Intimacy can heal a person. Emotionally, physically and spiritually. Bonding with another soul in such a way can affect you in ways you never knew were possible.
I also think that pent-up sexual repression can quietly fester in ones mind and eventually present itself as mental illness. Our bodies need certain things. Denying yourself such a basic yet necessary need couldn't be healthy.
@invisible I hope that answered some of your questions.
