I agree with you because it's my anecdotal life experience. I'm quite successful in terms of my career and finances. I'm pretty good looking and outgoing. I'm also a single dad and I'm in a nearly year-long dry spell. My self esteem is awful. Not having sex is torture for me and it has nothing to do with societal norms. It's just biological misery.
There's always more to it as well. That's maybe what people don't get. Yeah, not having sex is terrible, but if it's the only thing unpleasant it's bearable. But if other shit starts piling on top, then it becomes misery. Then people might say "oh it's only society".
Hope you'll feel better friend. Seems you've got the masturbation going nicely already, so that helps 🤣
Lol what else can you do I guess.
