At least since the advent of (internet) porn, I don't think sex per se is a very important thing for straight men to have in their life. Self-esteem and a sense of being valued and respected by peers is important. In our culture, there are powerful forces tying sexual achievement and being desired to status/esteem especially among young men. For example, romantic achievement can be an important determinant of who you can be friends with.
