People in concentration camps didn't dream about sex, instead they dreamt of eating good food. There is an hierarchy among needs. Sex, affection and romance is definitely a need for the majority of people.

Again, if this was the case, there wouldn't be asexual people and I would be in depression at the moment. Again, no sex for 10 years and trust me, I love that.
So no. There is no basic need for sex and Maslow's theory is still unscientific, especially regarding sex.

There are personality disorders that cause people to be asexual as well as physiological conditions. Not saying its the case with you. If you have a desire for sex and you can't satiate it, this will bring suffering to you. People are different, some people are like you, some aren't. Don't generalize.

Most people have a desire for sex, ask adolescents.
I don't think you understand. Sex is VERY important for me. I love the F out of it. I'm the literal opposite of an asexualand you could even say that in some case I can even be addicted to it.
BUT.I do not suffer from not being able to have sex. (and it's been 10 years, so I know)
By defaut, thinking that sex is a need pushes people to push their desire on others, especially women. This thinking is what pushes incel to become giga sexist and dangerous. BUT.. It's just a thinking, not an actual need.
There is no world where you can physically suffer from not being able to have sex. It simply does not exist and that's what a basic need is.You could say that it is a tiercary need, but nothing more. And not something that people need to push on other.
I'll repeat it: No one owe any sexual relationships to anyone.
Asexuality is not a physiological condition or a disorder.

Basic needs aren't just survival. They are the needs of a fulfilling life. We don't need hobbies to survive either and yet its important to spend time on those for general well being.
You clearly don't know what you are talking about, so i will drop this here:
"Maslow's pyramid, also known as Maslow's hierarchy of needs, is a motivational theory that describes five levels of human needs:
Physiological needs: Basic needs for survival, such as food, water, shelter, and sleep
Safety needs: Security of body, employment, resources, morality, the family, health, and property
Love and belonging needs: Friendship, family, intimacy, and a sense of connection
Esteem needs: Respect, self-esteem, status, recognition, strength, and freedom
Self-actualization: The desire to become the best that one can be
The theory is represented as a pyramid, with the most basic needs at the bottom and the most advanced needs at the top. The idea is that basic needs must be fulfilled before higher needs can be addressed"
Intimacy includes sexual relations.
Sex and intimacy is a psychological need for people especially when it comes to happiness and regulating motivation. People think about sex all the time by default (unless you have more pressing matters before you), it’s biologically programmed. It is much more integrated into the psyches of people than let’s say food lol.
And yes, for a huge portion of the population, a romantic relationship will be something that they long for and is in their checklist for a fulfilled life. I’m not saying it’s everyone but it is almost everybody. Don’t even try to deny that. Most people will place a huge significance to it throughout multiple points in their life.

And if you had listened to what we just said, you would know that Maslow's hierarchy of needs is unscientific. The fact that it is taught massively is not a testimony of the relevancy of this theory, it's just a testimony of problems with the field of psychology.
And yes, for a huge portion of the population, a romantic relationship will be something that they long for and is in their checklist for a fulfilled life.
Which does not meant that it's a basic need for a fulfilled life, it's just a testimony that the sociology of people push them massively to seek relationships which can be explained easily by the nativist push in most society especially conservative ones.
Oh I will, and you won't do anything about that. I'm the living proof that the argument that romantic relationship are needed in lives is a BS one.
And yes, I will generalize because you do not give me enough evidences (and I'm talking scientific ones > and not the Maslow hierarchy that is not) to think other wise.
People here are living in the fantasy that relationships will fullfill them and their needs when in reality what they must seek first is self appreciation. Because that the REAL thing that I see lacking in this thread.

Not necessarily no.
Do you have scientific evidence for this ? Sources ? I'm willing to open my mind.

Ok, since you do not understand what scientific means: proof me with scientific evidences that Maslow's theory is scientifically valid.
Also, learn about something called "anti-psychiatry".
LOL Some people become enranged when they are forced to abstain for orgasms. This is biochemistry at play. Some people will get moody if they don't get off.
Do you have the studies explaining that it is created by biochemistry and not social behaviors ? Or is this just an alternative fact coming from your magic alternative fact box ?
