Is sex a "want" or a "need"?

Max9 You need love, but love doesn't equal sex.

Contrary to popular opinion, love doesn't cure all.

Max9 I need both :-D

Sin Contrary to popular opinion, love doesn't cure all.

but sex also not

Kaja I need both :-D

Sin for you it might be important, otgers prefer to stay locked. Some people prefer pasta, others prefer suhi...

My point exactly. And people who don't like sushi shouldn't be forced to eat it.

Sin I like sushi (metaphor). That's why I don't want to be forced to east pasta instead.

I like all of the things!

Sin No but it's fun to try!

I would still rather give up sex than love.... I do, but I would be of the same opinion if I had to give it up voluntarily.

Sin . And people who don't like sushi shouldn't be forced to eat it.

Thank you, I hate sushi

Angelina I would still rather give up sex than love

Me too - though I hope I never have to give up either!

Foxies Me too - though I hope I never have to give up either!

and i hope to have both soon, i agree

Vanessa It is not especially related to economy

it was one of the first things i learned in economics class at school and it is one of the first things every economics student learns. i only know it from the economic context.

Vanessa Look at the bottom of the pyramid in the first picture of the french version( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramide_des_besoins )and notice one the physiological need is "sexualité"(sexuality).

that's interesting, i would have argued with me about the third level, but i don't agree at all about the first level.

Well,even if not the main subject for it,I guess it can be useful to know it in these studies.

You would put "sexuality" in the third level?

In my opinion,third level is "relationship",and "one night stand" or masturbation would be in the first level,for example.

Vanessa Well,even if not the main subject for it,I guess it can be useful to know it in these studies.

of course, it is basic knowledge in the first semester

Vanessa You would put "sexuality" in the third level?

yes, because sex is a social need (my opinion) but nor a essential need

Angelina yes, because sex is a social need (my opinion) but nor a essential need

It seems difficult to be sure of it,as it can be different depending on the version of the pyramid,and as some scientists doubt of it...

yes of course, that's why i wrote that it's just my opinion. in general i don't think much of this pyramid because every human being would categorise needs differently.

Angelina

Do you still use it in your studies?

If yes,what is your teachers' opinion about it?

Vanessa Do you still use it in your studies?

If yes,what is your teachers' opinion about it?

I can only say whether it will be used in my studies after the start

my teacher used it, but he was also rather old-fashioned, modern economists are critical of it.

Vanessa

I will let you know, although there are also old-fashioned and modern professors, so I assume that opinions will be divided there as well.
