Healthy Sex Support Group
This community is dedicated to an open discussion about healthy sex and sharing thoughts and feelings about sexuality and improving one's sex life. Most active adults desire to have an active and fulfilling sex life, both for themselves and also their partner. Here we discuss common sexual challenges faced by both men and women.
Maslow's theory is that sex, much like food and water, is a need.....a Physiological Need...
"1. The physiological needs. These include the needs we have for oxygen, water, protein, salt, sugar, calcium, and other minerals and vitamins. They also include the need to maintain a pH balance (getting too acidic or base will kill you) and temperature (98.6 or near to it). Also, theres the needs to be active, to rest, to sleep, to get rid of wastes (CO2, sweat, urine, and feces), to avoid pain, and to have sex. Quite a collection!"

While Maslow concludes people won't die without it, sex makes the list as one of the basic human NEEDS. Anyone else agree with this theory..?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Sex is great and there is nothing that can compare to the feeling of engaging in really good sex ... but it is not all that. Going without is not that difficult.
You want it - we need it. I'm cool with that.
Maslow himself acknowledged that sex wasn't a need like food and water, but he left it on the list as a need to be satisfied so the higher needs could be met.
Looks like "bob" for you and ol' Rosey Palm for me..lol..!
Sex is a very important need, emotionaly and physicaly.
