One assumes you are referring to Catholic nuns. All are Roman catholic, but there are considerable variations in the missions, cutural aims and tolerances- the habit or religious costume, etc within the many religious orders for women. there are even variations in saints that are venerated, some operate (Out of Costume) and so on. it is difficult to generalize about nuns. Some religious orders ban pets, others tolerate them, and there are all kinds of doctrinal hair-splitting.

Are nuns sexually frustrated due to their celibacy and religious vows?

It is not accurate or respectful to assume that all nuns are sexually frustrated due to their celibacy and religious vows. Celibacy is a personal choice made by individuals who have dedicated their lives to serving a higher purpose through their faith. Nuns find fulfillment and joy in their spiritual calling and often have strong support systems within their religious communities. It is important to approach this topic with sensitivity and understanding of the diverse experiences and beliefs of individuals who choose a life of celibacy.

Is it a religious requirement from the nun to wear the veil?

Roman Catholic AnswerNo, it is not a requirement. Nuns belong to a particular monastery or religious order. Most nuns are Benedictine, Carmelite, Cistercian, or Carthusian. I'm sure that there are others, but these are the biggest and most well know. Each monastery has its own set of rules, although they usually have a charter or something in common. Many orders or monasteries require their nuns to be veiled, others do not. The Vatican has asked that all sisters and nuns wear veils, but unless their Order or their superior require it, there is little, normally, that Rome can do. Sisters are not nuns, but the answer is the same for them.
