i don't see three decades of surrogation from sex as a problem but as it has been discussed that sex is also a biological act...that means our body is ready for it as soon as we mature and by and large, we will be subjected to sexual stimulation under typical circumstances as we age...
among all the primates, if dolphins, human beings and the one i forgot just now, have sex for pleasure, then we have obviously accepted the fact that sex can also be enjoyed without emotion...but i don't see everyone agreeing with me right now...
consentual sex is a natural form...in the animal world, its not always the dominant male who has the first and the last choice to mate...therefore, being robbed of one's choice could give rise to different complications, humans included...
being single and not experimenting with sex is a matter of choice as well...it is to be appreciated at all cost...but let's not forget that the body also gives away at a certain age...which points out, how long can you remain single?...four decades? five?...
