First thing, before we start off this post, I'm first going to say that FaggotTears is going to bring up the argument that "monks" or those VOLUNTARY celibates are living life just fine. The KEY word here is VOLUNTARY, while we are INVOLUNTARY celibates. The psychological impact between those two scenarios will be very different.
This is why rape is considered traumatizing. Although SEX is a pleasurable act, when the woman INVOLUNTARILY had sex without wanting it, it's going to affect her, right? Well, the same APPLIES TO US. WE ARE NOT MONKS WHO DELIBERATELY ABSTAIN FROM SEX, SO WE ARE INVOLUNTARY CELIBATES. IT'S NOT GOING TO AFFECT MONKS THE SAME WAY IT AFFECTS US INVOLUNTARY CELIBATE PEOPLE, JUST LIKE IT WON'T AFFECT TWO PEOPLE WILLINGLY HAVING SEX, THE WAY IT AFFECTS A RAPE VICTIM, EVEN BOTH SITUATIONS CONTAIN SEX IN IT.
Ok, now we got that out of the way, let's get onto the evidence itself.

"On the other hand, if psychological needs go unmet for long periods of time, it will absolutely fuck us up physically and psychologically. People develop neuroses, addictions, and even delusions to get their needs met. Research shows that social isolation is more harmful than alcoholism or smoking.5 Depression and stress are related with all sorts of terrible physical issues".
In addition to that, being lonely is equivalent to smoking about 15 cigarettes per day.
