Why is wanting to have sex so important to you? Aside from being a societal norm, there's nothing wrong with not wanting to having sex

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 15 points 1 year ago

Because they want to have sex, they just never learned how to get someone to want to have sex with them.

Right, but like. Why is wanting to have sex so important?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Idk but if it was a felony to get laid I still would. Probably a biological desire or something.

Like, it’s valuable to deconstruct the social aspect of it, but also people had to go to the Supreme Court for the right to get laid in my country so there’s definitely more than just a social aspect.

The issue is that barring external factors you still have to actually get someone to want to fuck you to have sex with them and that’s the hard part for many of these folks. And I get that that sucks

I get that. I just think that the idea that not wanting to have sex scares ma1w4re is strange.

That makes sense. I guess I just assumed he meant it as a “some dreams are met with acceptance of the fact that they’ll never happen” way. Like being ok with the fact that you’ll never be famous or learning to stop wanting parental love. Not asexuality, but complacency and acceptance.

Sex is important to most organisms. I don't think people want sex just because it's a norm in society. I think they want it due to an instinctive desire. Just like people want to eat food and breathe air.

Yeah, I worded my comment poorly. I can easily understand why someone would want to have sex. I just don't understand why someone would be afraid of not wanting to have sex.

[-] GeneralInterest@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I guess it's personal to different people. Some people don't care about sex and that's fine. Some people want sex, and as long as they do it in an ethical way (e.g. not sexually abusing anybody), that's fine too.

If sex does matter to someone then they might not want to lose that part of themselves. Just like, if you have a certain hobby, you might think "I hope I maintain my interest in this hobby, because it's a key part of who I am".
