    We’ve had jerking off tens of thousands of years. It’s not a solution to either.

      Pretty sure we even have plenty of depressed and lonely people who have actual sex. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them aren’t depressed and lonely precisely because they are surrounded by so many people who supposedly care about them but really don’t.

        Marriage and kids did really help my depression. Not 100% but pretty well. I feel like I’ve accomplished many of the things in life I wanted. But it took 35 and a failed marriage to get there.

          It is all fine if that is what you really want. It can cause depression though in people who didn’t really want it but tried to get it anyway because that is what society told them they should do.
