They are not even doing anything sexually. Why is their inaction offending people?

I wish people would stop trying to fix me. I've tried sex. It doesn't work for me. I'm much happier in a relationship where that isn't a factor. But some people will always insist that I just need x y or z. Over the years I've grown disdainful of Mazlowes Heirachry of Needs since sex is listed as a need, so CLEARLY I need it, gets (incorrectly) cited to me all the time.
