Anybody find sex overrated?

Sex is icky, nonessential, -
-unless I'm having it, in which case, it's a glorious gift from a loving god composed entirely of my favorite snack foods and beverages who wuvs me a whole huggy bunch, until mere moments after climax and then it's-
- indicative of our base animal instincts holding sway over our intellect, and is highly overrated.
Was never taught that there was any sort of 'shame' associated with it (outside of the standard, "keep it to yourself" and basic public decency, for both genders) and it's been pretty commonly accepted that girls do it too. As far as I'm aware (ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE IN 10 FOOT CAPS) it's much less stigmatized with women and seen as more...well, hot. With guys, it's expected to be sure, yet it's considered 'sad' or 'pathetic' compared to actually sexing a lady.
Some dude fapping isn't sexy, even to most females I've spoken to, but a girl getting in touch with herself? Fanfare.
As it should be. >_>

Yeah, going to echo and contradict the point a bit here and I was born at the tail end of the 80s.Fappy said:

Yeah, low testosterone or something. That could be it. I dunno. I've always been this way. When I think about it, it's like in that movie SuperBad. The one where the guys go on this quest to get alcohol to bring to a party, and in so doing impress the ladies so that they might get sex. That train of thought is just anathema to me. I'd never do that. I just don't care about sex.Fappy said:
I guess if I wanted intimacy then it'd be a problem. But I don't really want it. The whole thing is just not for me. I talk about it here, but that's only because I can't be shamed IRL for it. That's what happens whenever it get's brought up.
Having never experienced sex I can't say if it is overrated. My sex drive is unfortunately rather high at the moment though. Coupled with that, I have neither the capability nor the desire to actually find a partner, leaving me stuck yearning for something I know I won't get.
If I could turn off the sex drive I feel I would be somewhat better off.

I hate to be the one to say this, because I realize how arrogant it must sound, but if it's that unimpressive it's because you're doing it wrong.

As a certified virgin[footnote]Given at birth, but will expire after the home stretch...[/footnote] and an uncertified pervert[footnote]Too much hoops to come through just to get that damn certification...[/footnote], I can honestly say that sex is both overrated and underrated because nature loves to fuck us all in the ass... and only the ass... With that said, I lack that "desire" to have sex, so I substitute it by being the "pervert" in my circle of friends... It's a nice trade-off, if I do say so myself...
Anyway, as time goes on, we will be the one's fucking nature in the ass by inventing non-hetero pregnancies... That'll show nature to finally evolve with the times! We're humans, nature!! Don't you start classifying what that means to some, but not to others, with your old-world logic, glob dammit!! ¡Viva la evolución!
Wait... What was the question again? I was too busy metaphorically biting nature's dick of a pussy... or pussy of a dick, depending on one's perspective...

Pretty much this. I'm hopeless at conversation and physically unattractive. Instinct is a damn nuisance. Doesn't matter what I feel like I need or how bad I feel I need it. It only matters what I can have. What I can have is nothing. I'd replace myself with a robot double in a heartbeat. Just take away all those annoying feelings, they've gone from new and awkward, to agonizing and awkward, to a source of great shame and desperation, to a daily/hourly reminder of just how not-good-enough I am, before finally arriving at the sort of casual, tired contempt you see in joyless marriages. Nothing good has ever come from it. Stop the car, I want to get out.Evil Moo said:
Sex is the epitome of physical pleasure that we can naturally experience (i.e. sans drugs or some sort of artificial, neuro-scientific experiment).
Sex is 'overrated' because it's really the only thing that consistently provides pleasure, ideally both emotionally and physically. It's also so much harder to obtain and attain that sensation because it requires another, autonomous human being. Pain? Pain can happen whenever, wherever. And it can always get worse. Pleasure is fleeting, pain is infinite.
Nothing feels as good as an orgasm.
Examples: Stubbing one's toe hurts differently than a migraine, which hurts differently than cutting one's finger, which hurts differently than a kidney stone, which hurts differently than breaking a bone, ad infinitum.
An orgasm... what is even a near-equivalent experience?

"Shamed for it?" I've always noticed that women masturbating is seen as sensual, sexy, erotic, and rare, whereas men masturbating is pathetic, sad and perverted. There's a pretty obvious reason for that, in my opinion, but I've never heard of ladies being shamed because they rub one out.Fappy said:
I feel the same way, but I think the mechanisms involving sexual drive also affect other systems of our physiology. I know of a solution that I've found for myself, but it relies on other people and the downsides are extreme. If there were a way to shunt that one desire, however, I'd totally be on board.Evil Moo said:
I suppose I should have specified that it's typically women shaming other women for masturbating. Men have no real reason to do that, of course (unless they're super religious). I am sure most guys on here would agree females flying solo is one of the best sights nature can offer!Shraggler said:
Anyway, unless you're speaking from a religious perspective, I never see men getting shamed for spankin' it... and if they are it certainly isn't stopping them from doing it XD
Asexual speaking here so yes, I'd say it's overrated but then again, what *I* think of sex doesn't have anything to do with OTHER people liking to have sex. Go for it, if that's what you like.
I just.... -makes disgusted noises- No thanks. Just... just no thanks.

Yeah, and I'd imagine it'd be somewhat older women looking down on younger, more "sexually liberated" women who mention their sexual soliloquies.Fappy said:
I see dudes more 'shamed' for it in the way that people usually don't talk about it without it being sort of jocular, because the subtext seems to be "I masturbate because I can't get a woman", and that subtext raises the question "why?" with the assumed answers being along the lines of "there's something perversely wrong with him"/"he's a sad, lonely fuck". At least that's how it appears to me in a social environment.
But, like you said, external shame rarely stops anyone from seeking pleasure. We like to shit on each other all the time, but everyone just wants to feel good.
Put it this way. Despite gender dysphoria and a spine that makes pretty much all sex super painful, I still want it.
Yeah, I don't think overrated is the word I'd use. Annoying, maybe.

Really? I've seen a ton of scorn from guys in terms of masturbation.Fappy said:
