This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well that's why it's called the hierarchy of needs. Not every need has to be met equally, and you have to meet all earlier needs before you can meet later needs.
E.g. if you're currently starving to death then you probably aren't that much bothered about achieving self-actualization, but if you have all your base needs met you're not going to just sit around you're going to find something to do, you're going to be compelled to find something to do.
But if you think about it sex is a pretty important need because if people weren't driven to it there wouldn't be anyone to ask the question. Any species that's not that much bothered about sex died out millennia ago, or become a panda.
