      No debate there but I don’t think you can extend that truth into suggesting that everyone could just as easily be fulfilled if they just “focus their energy on other aspects of their lives”.

      We’re talking about relationships, not sex. They’re related, but not the same. You can have a romantic, intimate relationship without sex. Sex is not required for fulfilling relationships, and it can often ruin them.

      Humans are social creatures and usually find more satisfaction with a good relationship than without one. Most who say they don’t are either lying (copium) or have only had bad relationships.
