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 coercing long term partners into having sex they don’t want because they frame it as a need that partners are required to provide
If you don’t want to have sex, don’t fall for this shit. They have a hand, they can buy toys, hell they could even ask for an open relationship.
At no point or in any capacity is another person entitled to your body
AT NO POINT OR IN ANY CAPACITY IS ANOTHER PERSON ENTITLED TO YOUR BODY
Thank you this is exactly how this should be reframed whenever this argument comes up in conversation or discussion
The only time that you ever discuss sex as a need is when looking to start a new relationship and you express to your potential partner “I need to have sex at least x often to be happy in a relationship” and if they want more or less, a conversation can be had and one or both parties can walk away.
Sex is never a physical necessity.
