Like the need to be loved, eat, sleep, have friends?? If it is a human need? If so and it goes unmet, possibly because society as a whole considers it wrong, bad, a weakness, a perversion. How does the individual, needing to meet this need and unable to because of guilt and self condemnation brought on by societies denial of "having sex" being a physical, emotional, biological human need, ever feel happy and emotionally healthy. I mean beyond the obvious need to reproduce. Is having sex regularly something the human animal NEEDS? If it is a need, it is logical and natual to assume that people will "want it." But if society says its wrong to even think about it?????????????

It is a human need. Like any other need it is not satisfied at all times. Every human being also does not have the same need, and some might need more to have this need satisfied.
The society that I live in DEFINITELY does not say that one should not think about it. Thinking about it, talking about it and doing it is accepted in my society, and not wrong. (I do not mean just the Gay society here, but broader society that includes all different groups.)

You're being very vague...No it is not a human NEED per-say to engage with another person to have sexual intercourse....But yes it does feel good and it does express high feelings of Love and adoration..There is always masturbation....But the way you make it sound is at what point is it not okay by societies standards....to fulfill this need ....That is a bit blindingly obvious don't you think....It's not okay to rape, it is not okay to engage sexually with a child, it is not okay to cloud the judgment of others so they are willing to have sex with you.....It is not okay to take advantage of a handicapped/elderly/mentally inept individual for the sole purpose of sex, it is not okay to exploit an animal for sexual use, it is not okay to perform sadistic crimes against a non-condoning partner........Other than that I don't think society really should have a say in what you do in your life to relieve your personal sexual tension........
OMG-Sex is more than 2 minutes, 52 seconds of squishing noises.-LOL LOL LOL That has to be the funniest thing I've heard in awhile!!!!

Society teaches us that we shouldnt have sex until we are married. I assume thats taught because of the scriptures in the bible about fornication. I think it is a basic human need to have sex, just as much as it is the need to nourish the body with water and food. Growing up I was taught if I had sex I was going to hell and to get to heaven I would have to abide by God's law and wait. I truely believe that heaven and hell is right here on earth. Yes I do believe in God, but if he is a forgiving God as society also teaches, then he will forgive me for my sins because he knows that I am only human.

having sex is not a need, except for reproduction. therefor, individuals can go without for a lifetime, but the species as a whole cannot. Soooo, to get to the other part of your question, happiness can never be attained by following rules set forth by society, you have to follow your heart in order to be happy. but if you follow your heart, decide where it led you is not where you want to be, then you can change your path, over and over, until you are happy. and even if you end up exactly where society told you you should be in the first place, you would not have been happy there if you didn't get there yourself. sex is awesome, but you won't die without it.

Hey, you ever hear of marriage? That is the whole point!!! To provide for that need, to draw you closer to your made and to reproduce. There is also masturbation. I don't think we were made to just hop from bed to bed, partner to partner. Yes, it is a need like everything else. What you do with you guilt and "society" is basically what you choose to do with it. Happiness, for me, definitely includes my husband. I was a good person without him; but I'm a much better person WITH him. That is the way to think of it. You see alot of sex, cause it SELLS! Finding a love-partner is a wonderful thing and I would encourage anyone to start seeking for one. Godloveya.

Sex is a definite physiological need just as hunger is. Society does not deny sex. It simply wants to regulate to keep orderliness and avoid chaos since it involves many other social and moral issues

Society often gives mixed messages. The bottom line is that
' having sex' is a basic human need and essential to our survival as a species--that is why it is so pleasurable to us. Most important, "Sex is Normal".

It is a need - especially for a man. That's why men masturbate - they need to relieve themselves even if there's no woman around to help out ;-)
I don't see how you can say "society as a whole considers it wrong, bad, a weakness ..." - No-one in my circle of friends says sex is bad - except my wife who doesn't think sex as a whole is bad, just sex with me!!

It is a God given, human desire to experience intimacy! It is not a need for survival, if you are speaking of only yourself! It is a need, as a species, for us to continue inhabiting this planet. But there are enough of us out here, that will be willing to fill the void, should you decide not to! Besides, God gave us a thing called orgasm, so we would WANT to do it! God intended for us to have it, but to stick with one person. Thus, the concept of waiting untill marriage!

It is not a need essentially like eating and sleeping. Other than humans dolphins are the only other mammals that have sex for pleasure. Humans just FEEL the need to have sex but one will not die from sex deprivation.
