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.

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.
