I should start off by saying that I used to think of it as being more important than I do now. I would occasionally feel frustrated because I believed it was something that I absolutely must be participating in to be a normal adult. Eventually I got fed up with thinking about it that way and, when I did, I began to realize that there are certain aspects of relationships that bring me more pleasure than the actual act of sex.
Intimacy and trust mean more to me now. I mean the kind of whole-hearted trust where you reveal all of your vulnerabilities and can always have confidence that they will stay by you. It takes incredible effort and time to build but it is profound and brings you closer to a person than sex ever could. Sex provides only a temporary closeness where emotional and cerebral intimacy lasts a lifetime.
Not only that but I find doing things for myself brings me a surprisingly remarkable amount of enjoyment. I mean self-improvement, not just masturbation. When I invest in my own happiness, the need to find it in someone else decreases.
Haha, no it doesn't. Why would you assume that I'm lonely? I certainly feel as though I have an abundance of companionship at the moment. Is it because you personally feel lonely without sex?
How long can you live without sex?

Is it fair to say that you have come to terms with being lonely? Or does saying it belittle your profound self-enlightening?
