sexual release is a want, not a need

kamicro are you sure? The biological (and psychological) effects of the onset of orgasm in regards to brain chemistry is rather significant...

I'm pretty sure the effects of the neurotransmitters in question constitutes a basic need more than a want. Especially if you go for a significant period of time of abstinence. Though everything makes me extremely depressed so what do I really know.
