Actually doing them teaches you how to make them, which will give you foundational knowledge you'll take with you into more complex endeavours.

Is this healthy?

Running through illness and injury isn’t, otherwise why not. But I don’t think that’s the point. It’s challenge to yourself.

What? Sex is a basic need in Maslow’s hierarchy.

Yes, and Hinge is not the sole human corollary of sexual intercourse. Ask your parents.

Ever tried approaching people in actual real life not internet?

Yes, but nobody ever died because of not having sex.

Except they did. Loneliness shortens life.
