Some people find sex less important than others and prefer to focus their energy on other aspects of their lives.
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".
Yeah, that's a classic logical fallacy. What's true for one isn't likely true for most, and what's true for most isn't necessarily true for one.
i call that phenomenon "over-generalization". you observe yourself and assume that everybody feels the same way, which, empirically, is simply not the case.
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.
