I absolutely hate it when people call sex a need. “I have needs” or “he has specific needs”—no, you have wants. Sex is a desire, not a need; otherwise nuns and monks would’ve died from practicing celibacy. And 99% of the time that I see sex being called a need, it’s to justify cheating.

So can we please stop disillusioning ourselves and stop calling sex a need

It’s also used to justify rape—saying that sex is a need is not empowerment.

Also used to justify abuse.

It irritated me when I was younger because it seemed like I kept seeing this attitude in TV shows… friends finding out how long it had been since one of them had sex and acting like all their problems were because of that. Which implies that it’s bad for your health to go without it, which is a dangerous slant on the same thing.
