I think that sex is put on a mighty high pedestal in this culture. Satisfying sex is promoted as the be-all and end-all of relationships, everyone's one-way ticket to happiness and fulfillment, an all-important indicator of physical, emotional, and social healt'. If you're not having regular satisfying sex, there must be something "wrong" with you -- that's the attitude.

And it's a crock, imo. I remember taking a personality test online once, having to do with sex and relationships. Now, I've been really happy and contented lving on my own for the last few years, for the first time in my life! Oh, the joys of freedom and independence, of having my own space -- and (especially) my own bed! I don't seem to want or need or even miss having a sexual relationship -- or any other relationship -- as the centerpiece of my existence. And I deserve this freedom -- it's certainly cost me enough over the years to get here!

But the personality test told me I'm a "sexual anorexic". Said I'd do well to seek counselling/therapy, buy this book and/or that product, eat better and get more sleep and exercise, or at the very least participate in some on-line self-help group.

Ha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :-D   Little do they know ...
