Especially if not having it is messing with your head so much that you'd allow yourself or even long to be exploited.

There's no shame in it though. If it's as much a need as men claim it is... like food, water, or air to (it's not but men claim it is) then where is the logic of depriving yourself. Would you deny yourself clean water if you were truly suffering from thirst just because it's not Evian or serves up as you prefer?
