That's because all of those things are driven by evolutionary instincts, OP. Progeny is key to survival of the species.

You're missing the point of the hierarchy.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often portrayed in the shape of a pyramid, with the largest and most fundamental levels of needs at the bottom, and the need for self-actualization at the top.

I wonder what the definition of "needs" in this scenario is, then. Also, it is fundamental human nature to desire sex. What's so odd about that?

Bullshit, I have been so depressed for months because of my life sucking that I've almost never had sex drive.

He's suggesting that people who say 'I am depressed and can do nothing because I am a virgin' are wrong. They are not depressed because they are a virgin because sex is at the bottom of the pyramid. Even if they have sex, they will feel the same.
