ORIGINAL: MrDiscipline44 Well, my dear Tress, in googling Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Deficiency Needs, I've found that the #3 that you're pointing to is: quote:
3) Belonginess and Love: affiliate with others, be accepted This is in all of the listings that I've found. No where does sex come into the equation. Even biologically, men do not need sex. There is nothing that shows that if a man does not have sex, he'll die or that it leads to any illnesses. No, it's very much a luxury. One that people put more emphasis on than is needed. Intersting how people just spew out crap without actually posting where they've got there information to back themselves up. Maybe they're just too full of themselves to understand that just because they say something, doesn't mean that it true or law. According to Maslow: "Love/Belonging needs After physiological and safety needs are fulfilled, the third layer of human needs are social. This involves emotionally-based relationships in general, such as friendship, sexual intimacy, and/or having a family. Humans want to be accepted and to belong, whether it be to clubs, work groups, religious groups, family, gangs, etc. They need to feel loved (sexually and non-sexually) by others, and to be accepted by them. People also have a constant desire to feel needed. In the absence of these elements, people become increasingly susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety and depression." I personally believe his theory. You don't have to. Interesting how quick some are to judge others.
