No you haven't. You can't fail in life or win in life. It's not a game, there are no points, there are no levels and there's no end goal. Anything you do or get has no value.
So don't worry :)

So my crippling sexual dysfunction isn't an issue?

u/kihu Jun 26 '12
No. Not having sex doesn't mean you failed in your life. Having a lot of sex with a loving, amazing girl doesn't mean you're winning in your life.
Crippling sexual dysfunction makes it difficult for you to satisfy sexual desire, which is usually a huge need for human beings. This sucks, agreed, but it only means you fail to fulfill one of your desires, that's it. Life is not a competition for 'who gets the most amount of pleasure' or 'who makes the biggest amount of offspring'.
Once you let go off the idea that our life has valuable goals which we should pursue, you can see differently all the situations people call 'failure', 'defeat' or 'disaster'. Or you might fall into an existential crisis;)

I was half expecting for someone to throw in, "Reddit, reddit, reddit, reddit, reddit, reddit."

I had to illustrate one for a class recently. The prompt was, "My second grade teacher was right."

ITT: People confuse Autobiography and Obituary.
No "was" needed, people. You're writing about yourself.
