Why are most people against being a virgin and single for life?

[Nando8039]

I'm 35, in london, two paid off properties, I have great friends and family. I've never been interested in relationships and I'm still a virgin, the thought of it makes me sick.

Humans override biological drives all the time. People fast despite hunger. People endure physical pain (extreme sports) for no biological reason. People even commit suicide despite the instinct for self-preservation.

Animals don’t do this, humans do. That’s the difference.

Some people don’t experience sexual desire at all. Others could pursue sex but simply don’t want to. Lumping all sexually inactive people into 'they can’t get it' ignores human variation.

Reducing people to animal instincts and telling them what their motives 'really are' comes across as narrow-minded and reductionist. You can't see into anyone's mind and tell them why they are doing what they are doing (or why they are not doing what you think they ought to be doing). As great as science is, it can't read the human mind, spirit and inner world....we are far too complex for that.

Your life sounds fabulous! I don't think people are against it, it's just they'd rather do something else? I'm married with 3 kids and no money and id love your life some days but I wouldn't trade it because I'm happy as I am. Not to say you aren't happy , different strokes for different folks?

You can't be that invested as youve started two threads saying exactly the same thing and haven't been bothered to return to either of them.

I guess if you’re not having sex you need to get your kicks somehow.
