Ive been thinking about the way our monkey brains were programmed by natural/sexual selection and how it affects our everyday lives. This is loosely based on maslow's hierarchy of needs but doesnt presuppose it.
Given a state, which depends on your biological and environmental factors, your brain only takes the problems that are most immediate/that have the highest survival value and actively causes you to ignore all other problems, however important they might otherwise be. For example, if you are starved of food/water, you wont worry about the mortgage on your house (even though paying your mortgage might actually be quite important for you to survive in this world). Similarly, being starved of sex means that your brain causes you to actively ignore all other issues and only focus on this one immediate problem.
This simply means that even if you get to have sex, the fact that you have, for such a long time, ignored all the other problems means that you will suddenly realize (on having sex) that there are countless more issues you need to address/solve before you can be truly happy.
TLDR: Sex is not only a basic biological need but the lack of it causes your brain to actively suppress your realization of so many other problems you need to address in order to make it in the modern world.
