Can you be happy in life without giving or recieving sexual gratification?

Question

Lets say something happened to your equipment and you were no longer able to have any type of s*x, would there be a point to life?

I am more interested in hearing answers from men, but open to all I guess, I am sure women will be more positive but interested in hearing from men

And yea this is something I am kind of facing, and no I would probably not be willing to take testosterone shots or supplemts to get an erection, to me that would be more insulting then not being able to get an erection

Answer 1

s*x is simply one means to experience pleasure. There are plenty of others that you can substitute for it (food, sky-diving, sports, etc.).

Answer 2

s*x is only a small part of any relationship. Before I was married, I had a ton of friends and I satisfied them with my words and my heart, but I never had s*x with any of them. Most of my friends were women, but a few were guys.  I shared an honesty with all my friends that went way beyond friendship and was rewarded for it when the situations in my life led me to need my friends, which I had many.

Answer 3

Well, there are those monks and priests and nuns who go throughout their entire life never having any sort of sexual experience.  And they seem utterly happy and at peace.

So really, it just depends on the person and how they were raised.  The only person who can decide if you will be happy or miserable is yourself.
