I'm a 26 year old guy and have no sex life at the moment....in fact not for 2 years. Pretty sad I no! I think my depression is to down to lack of female company or physical interaction. It's not all about sex.....but if we are emotional individuals maybe we need to express or relieve our emotional baggage through sexual contact, touching and holding. I've been told sexual contact restores 'soul energy'. Can lack of this contact lead to symptoms of 'depression'?

Yes, go get yourself some. In ancient times sex was used to praise their Gods. Can you imagine the churches advertising that? The congregation would increase ten fold.
Probably.
You could try masturbating. That always makes me feel better when I don't have a boyfriend.
But you should look into why you don't have a girlfriend.
I can see your picture though, and if I was just looking for a quick lay, with no commitments, I would do you (if you were into me, lol). You're kinda hot.
But if you're looking for a girlfriend, you should try being more jolly. I know that's hard if you're already depressed, but no girl wants to be with a guy that's sad all the time. Confidence is always great too.
If you seem happy with your life, and are confidant, and you're not a prick, girls will be all on you, all the time. Hot ones too.
Over the last five years I had begun to have increasingly withdraw into a downward spiral of depression..
But now with the method I can fully focus my energy and thoughts into a decisive line on how to make my life better constantly. And it works like magic! I'm beginning to attract people to me once again and things have just been looking up since then.
Helping you eliminate depression?
yes it can in those people who feel a desire for close emotional/physical contact.
as i'm Asexual a lack of sexual contact doesn't cause symptoms of depression in me but the lack of emotional closeness does.
it's been a while for me to but i don't miss the physical demands men seem to place on me during relationships, i like being single because it's the only way to avoid having to put up with unwanted physical demands.
i miss the company of a romantic relationship, but i don't miss the pressure to "put out".
if you have a strong need then can try going to a professional sex worker.
if it's female company you want try getting to know women first as friends without the goal being to have sex with them, if you build trust and friendship first then maybe you will be able to learn how to interact with females and one of them will find you attractive.
then she might want a relationship with you.
sex is not the be all and end all of romantic relationships it should be a nice addition but not the most important reason for being with a woman.there's also respect, understanding and love.
i heard of depression leading to a lack of interest in sex but i guess it works both ways. why are you lacking female company? go on, get out there, meet some nice people and see what happens. don't rush into anything stupid or dangerous though. above all, be safe!
Well I believe that a lack of sexual interaction is certainly not healthy. It could very well cause symptoms of depression.
If you really want it and you never get it, then sure, yes it might.
Try to get yourself a girlfriend, or at least someone to screw around with. Might help, I guess...
Also, you should see a psychiatrist if it gets really bad.
No matter what's the source of one's depression, that can usually help quite a lot.
Yes. Intimacy releases endorphins.
well, ill try to not be crude about this... but wont be easy.
i have not had sex in 6 years now, mostly because i am an arrogant and rude person. on top of this i have a very low tolerance for females, i just simply can not spend any time (1 hour or more) with them before their voices turn in to a kind of drill on my skull.
about 6 years ago i became a bit of a hermit, meaning i live like an agoraphobic... im not scared to go outside, but why bother going outside and talking to the same old village idiots when i can work from home on my computer, train in my gym and have my karate instructor come round and train with me in the garden. on top of this the internet provides me with all the entertainment and social interaction i could possibly wish for.
i rather spend my time online discussing religion and philosophy than talking to the same old morons that have infected my town (male or female)
so... what this is all leading to, does a lack of sex cause depression? yes it does, for the first year or so. but now after 6 years i am really quite happy to 'bash one out' and get that testosterone poison stuff out of my balls and carry on with what im doing.
after 6 years it does not cause any depression, but the first 2 where quite bad. seriously... sex is just a mechanical form of reproduction and nothing more. and i think the only reason it causes any kind of frustration or depression is simply due to our perverted minds and how ''not getting any'' lowers the self esteem, the self esteem is not so much of a problem for me as my celibacy is self inflicted. however i understand it as when i was 15-16 i used to be desperate for sex all the time.
but... depression is on the rise statistically, all across the western world. and people have more sex now than they used to in the 40's and 50's... so, i would say it is not because of a lack of sex, rather the depression comes from diet or other causes.
*blink* No. It can lead to a feeling of rejection which can lead to depression. And honey, you need to stop giving off waves of desperation. When you stop looking, you'll find someone.
