Air, water, food, and shelter are all more important than sex. You'll be fine if you never have sex, albeit not the happiest person in the world. You'll die if you never have air, water, food, and shelter.  but I think it's more important for everyone to realize that you can live without sex. There's a shocking number of virgins who must have the Cotard delusion, because they think you'll die without sex, despite having survived without it for many years. Some cultures and religions make sex as big deal, but all human and animals in this world do sex to breed their genaration and keep their kind, it's totally normal thing on earth, because of sex human kind keep growing without vanished, so sex is not big deal. The people who want you to believe that sex is important (and everyone’s doing it, and it’s normal, and anyone who tries to get you to stop is wrong, etc…) have an agenda. They are either trying to make money from you, or justify their own behavior by convincing themselves that everyone else is the same way. Eventually, most people grow out of it. Sex becomes just one of many things you enjoy, and it’s definitely not the most important one. There’s a lot more enjoyment and importance in, say, spending quality time with your family, paying bills and being financially stable, planning for your future, etc You know ..I like to believe that life is about much more than banging hot chicks . But that's just me
