Maslow's hierarchy of needs identifies sex along with breathing, food, water, sleep, homeostasis and excretion as the 7 basic needs of man. I am interested in everyone's statements that although they enjoy sex, they don't need it and would happily do without for the sake of the relationship. Have any of you ever actually been in that situation or is it all theoretical? I think that sex, like money, is only regarded as unimportant by those who've never had to do without.
