Is it normal to think that sex doesn't get enough credit?

What I mean is that I think sex is responsible for more good things in this world than people realize. These things include:

Relationships, men and women would never get along or affiliate with eachother if it wasn't for sexual desire. Imagine half the world having no reason to want to be with the other half?

The clothes industry, fashion and makeup markets would be completely different and way less diverse and profitable if it weren't for all the guys and girls who buy so many products just to look good for the opposite sex.

Making enough babies to keep the keep the world going.

All the various things that guys to to impress girls and vice versa. Many guys hold a stable job and support a family because they want sex and a a good relationship with their wife. Guys being tamed down, humbled and becoming all around a better person just to be nice and seem like a good person to their partner.

And lastly, sex gives immense pleasure to millions around the world everyday. It's the one thing everyone can enjoy and agree feels awesome. Sex helps people avoid depression, anxiety and suicide and many, many people's will to live would be much less without it.

Is it normal to think sex often does not get enough credit?

    All that shit people have either worked out centuries ago, is completely wrong (it prevents suicide and depression? Fuck. You.), or you're a manipulative cunt if you think that stands in civilised society.

    But well done, you. You broke the code. Woohoo.

    • Sex helps people enjoy themselves more and have a higher self esteem, which in turn would lower suicide and depression. Maybe you don't think it's a big deal but I don't think it gets enough credit. Maybe it isn't a big deal for you specifically but I think for a lot of people it's something good to live for.

        That's not how depression works, genius.

        People with depression usually lose their libido, for one.

        • Hmmmm. Sex causes pleasure, can we agree on that?
          More pleasure in your life will make you less succeptable to developing depression, can we agree on that? Please at least tell me which statement of those above you don't agree with.

          Here is an article to read if you don't take my word for it. It talks about how sex can relive symptoms of depression and lowers the street hormone cortisol. And to high of stress can make depression worse or potentially be a factor in developing it. Do you agree with that? Please at least make a more specific argument, even if we agree to disagree.

    You are absolutely right. I will never be able to have sex again because I have a rubber tube up my cock. I am pathetic and can verify these points from personal experience,

    1. Women hate me simply because I am a eunuch.

    2. I spend zero money on clothes. What's the point?

    3. Being a better person to win the respect of a woman is not possible. Regardless of what I do, they will hate me because I can't get it up.

    4. Inability to have sex is the ultimate in patheticness. This is depressing, heartbreaking, and ultimately will destroy you. Just note that the reverse is not always true. Some people can fuck, but lose interest because they are depressed for different reasons.

    5. You are right about the "will to live". Pathetic people that have no ability to improve want to feel their shame in isolation. They barely want to move forward with life. They know they are the lowest of the low.

    I am pathetic.

        Your post is entirely correct. People take sex for granted until they can't have it. Then, there is nothing positive left to live for. Good health and love both require sex as a prerequisite. Money is the only option that's left, if you can attain it.

        • Thanks for that McBean. I'm glad you agree sex is so important. I feel that everyone knows my post is right deep down, it's just a difficult thing that people don't want to admit. People feel bad giving sex credit but that's the way it is. Honesty appreciated as always.
