In your opinion, is it possible that sex has an important effect on mood and in the absence of sex, people can become acidic, surly and even hateful?

 

I don't know about hateful, but if I have a level of "need" I can get grumpy.

 

Yes and dramatically in some cases dependent on what's invested in it personally. If sex is your be all to end all of your existence the loss or lack could be devastating to some and of course everyone's pathology is different. I have a long term complicated sexual relationship of over 35 years invested with the same woman, it's the realization of it's complications that make it much easier to adjust. In the past I would've just found a mistress and made time for her, but that gets tiresome after a few years and I apply that effort now toward figuring out solutions.

 

I get very grumpy.if I get busy with other things and same with girlfriend after 4-5 days I realize the problem. This morning went to get coffee. Dropped the cup. Cussed it out. Then remembered the problem. Solved it then and there.

 

Absolutely. If I go two days without having an orgasm, I am one mean sonofabitch. So I try to find time to get myself off every day even if I'm not feeling horny, if not for my own sake, for the sake of the people who have to put up with me.

 

If I get some I’m happy - if I don’t - I’m not

 

Yes, indeed.
Unless Jack is a serious introvert, all work and no play makes Jack a grumpy, glum, sad, and generally emotionally unhealthy boy. Masturbation can help with the physical need and the stress, but not with the emotional needs.

 

I have used sex as a stress reliever in the past. When I'm not getting any I find myself getting increasingly tense and irritable.

I'm struggling at the moment. I've not had sex since March 11th, I don't know when I'll next get some. That's bad enough, but the total lack of human touch is a killer. I'm normally pretty tactile and I hate that I'm without that physical connection with my friends and my family.

Once I get through 6 months without sex it gets much easier, this I know from experience. I've never gone without touch this long so I've no idea if that will get easier with time.

 

It will pass soon, and then we will start the dance.

 

Went several weeks without sex, just recently. Made me a cranky asshole. Finally, this morning, wife opted to give me a blowjob, and even recorded it. Get so fucking good.

 

If I don’t get fucked at least once every 24 hours I get pretty irritable.

 

I preferthe smell of porta potties . She's an m.d.. I would think she'd know better.
She is the spawn of Satan.

 

If I haven't had sex in a good while I start getting quite pissy and getting some penises preoccupies my mind.

 

I’m used to no sex because of a long-distance relationship. I’ve learned ways to get through it though, with lots of phone sex and pics and video. And a lot of masturbating. I don’t get grumpy.

 

Depends who I'm with and the condition of the relationship.

 

I don't know if it affects my mood or not, but it definitely helps me sleep like a baby!

 

Makes me feel unwanted if the misses turns down an approach from me, and puts me in a bad mood

 

Yeah if I don't have sex within like 4 days or 5 days then I noticed I get grumpy, and cranky. That affects my mood. And when I do have sex, I'm all mellow , I smile a lot more, and everything is right with the world. So there is a definite mood change

 

I agree I can’t sleep if I don’t rub one out before bed.

 

Yeah I can get a little snippy when I havent had sex for a bit but I masturbate regularly and that is normally enough to take care of it.

Its the high I feel when I have sex with a real person as opposed to any low I might feel from not having sex.

Its human contact I miss more than the orgasm which is rarely more than a couple of fingers and a few minutes on my own away
