But you can be happy without sex, and sex is not a need. Of course sex is a good thing, and it’s great, when there’s more of it (consensual, obviously). But so can be said of video games, or action films, or hiking, or chess playing. People can be happy without them, and these are not needs, and so is true of sex.
The only problem I see with young male virgins in today’s world is not lack of sex, but terrible self-esteem, depression and anxiety around the belief that they ought to have sex, but because there’s something wrong either with them, or the world, they don’t have it. Get rid of that crap from their minds, and you’ll make young men happy, confident, self-respecting, motivated and self-reliant.
Replace “sex” with “not dying” and you have the standard deathist position.
Not having sex and feeling unhappy about it is strictly worse than not having sex and being ok with it.
Except that feeling unhappy about it makes one more likely to fix the situation. Seriously, this is the exact same argument made by deathists, and generally a universal argument against caring about anything.

I’ve read parts of what is commonly called the “manosphere” and I can safely say, you have no idea what the f* you’re talking about.
