Daru, sex aur sucide

I read a book. Don't remember its name. It was a Booker Prize winner. Its name starts with letter 'F'. The protagonist in book had a morbid sensation of death and sex. He was always having a eerie feeling of death in sex.
I would like to add one more element that is alcohol to this list. I see death and alcohol as way of escapism. Most people might agree with me on this (I think). However, sex is seen as something for pleasure. Something, with which life is associated.
Can alcohol,sex and death be alternative to each other? Sex if you consider it at soul level. Two human beings becoming one. It also have loss of identity (may be momentarily). But loss of identity, loss of ego, loss of self might give a feeling of escaping from current situation to other world. Is that's why people call sex as stress buster?
I think sex  can be helpful for people who have obsession or inclination towards alcohol or people having suicidal tendencies.
Basic feature for relief from stress is to escape from stress. To take your mind somewhere else. So, weak memory can be a real boon in case of stress.
