It is not necessary for the INDIVIDUAL to live and as they say, thrive. No jokes from the peanut gallery and men who think they “need” this - no, you don’t; you want it. We’re talking whether the individual survives medically, not whole population prospects. Each individual DOES need to eat, and drink. Making sex like it is something absolutely necessary feeds into the myth and into Idiocracy and all kinds of illegitimacy, leading to children who didn’t ask to be in the crappy situations they are. We’ve already reached that point that it is showing. Men can pay for their own sex drugs.
