I think sex with a suitable partner is one of the most fun and engaging activity on the planet.
So I would say yes, unless you're especially challenged in some way.

Do you need to date to have regular sex? If that's all you want, aren't there websites for finding other people who only want sex?

Do you need to date to have regular sex?

Either that or you need to have a lot of money, or you need to be unusually attractive. Besides, sex with a partner that you have intimacy with I found it's much more fulfilling.

If that's all you want, aren't there websites for finding other people who only want sex?

I can only speak for my country, and the answer is no.

Do you need to date to have regular sex?

Unless you're in the top 30% or so of attractiveness, I think the answer to that question is "yes".

Do you think the sex alone makes it all worth the time and emotional investment?

Separately (and now we're getting completely hypothetical), what if sex was unavailable or impossible, would it still be worth it to you?

Yes, I do. In my opinion, people in general underestimate the sense of emotional fulfilling that good, regular sex has on the male brain (I'm assuming you're male).

Separately (and now we're getting completely hypothetical), what if sex was unavailable or impossible, would it still be worth it to you?

That would depend more on how challenged you are to find a suitable partner, I would still say yes, but in a narrower range of investment.
