There is definitely an extent to where this is true, but people are by nature social creatures, and if you feel inclined toward sex and/or intimacy, then being without that social activity may not make you actively worse, but it isn't the happiest you'll be. Intimacy is a release that can be incredibly helpful. 

That being said, using it as a crutch for your entire well being is certainly not doing anyone any favors. 

I'm not incomplete without a relationship. Ideally we're both whole people without each other. But 100% plus 100% is still inarguably 200%, y'know?

Men need intimacy 100%. Sometimes the longer they go without it the less they understand how to get it and the more they need it. The screaming silence of loneliness and alienation is indescribable and unbearable. We definitely are social creatures; I found that out by pretty much putting myself in an isolation chamber for a decade. Always wanting and never having, unable to understand why I was always stuck on the outside. My point is that I had to realize that I was responsible for where I was, and I had to fix it.
