A member asked:
Do you think being deprived of sex can affect your mental health over time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mental health/sex: Sex has many physical and mental benefits. While many benefits can be achieved by orgasm alone, most mental health professionals would agree that a caring sexual relationship with a partner also helps you physically emotionally and spiritually. If you have a caring partner who does not meet your sexual needs then it is time for a serious discussion about couples therapy.
