Being involuntarily deprived of sex does not mean that you want it or that it is the only thing you want. Some want a romantic companion, others want marriage, some want offspring, others want validation and others want the [[social status]] associated with having a partner. Some want to get a SO due to parental pressure, or because they want to quell rumors that they're gay. Others want independence from parents, i.e. "leaving the nest" that is sometimes associated with romantic [[relationship]]s. Some involuntary celibates seek the tax-breaks and other social benefits that are often associated with being in a partnership. | |||
