No. Sexual activity is normal for your body, so if you avoid it it throws your system out of balance. However, if no "sexual" hormones (estrogen, testosteron, ext.) are produced at all then you will live longer.
So you wouldn't live longer by just not having sex, but you will if you are castrated. By some 13 years actually. Fact.

Jeepers! I hope not, but that may be true.
Some say that a male has a limited amount of 'times' to use just like a womans egg production.
But the purpose of living is to evolve and reproduce from the most attractive and flourishing specimen in the species pool.
So why would you evolution cause the specimen reproducing the most to die early. If you're getting a lot of sugar there must be a reason to keep it going for the benefit of the species.
then again,
some species wake to the world try to get a mate, do the do, then die!
Moral of the story, do it at least once, the worst that could happen is you'll die but for the benefit of the human species.
Tally Ho!

I don't think any scientific studies have been done on this subject, but something tells me that it is unlikely to be true. I suspect that if you have a good sex life then you are more likely to be healthy and active - which helps prolong life. Anyway, every one dies sooner or later - the important thing is to make sure that you have an enjoyable life, and having sex must be a part of that!

Sex is a biological need.
Specially for male, if they don't ejaculate on a regular basis, they will have a more chance to be diagnose for prostate cancer. That's why you'll get wet dream even if you try not to have sex.
It's more likely you'll die "earlier" if never had sex in your life.

unhappy people don't live long.

Yes.
No sex means you probably have no intimate relationships with the opposite sex, don't get married and don't have kids - All of which Knacker you into an early grave.
But life without sex? Why???

there is scientific evidence that women who do not conceive have more chance of contracting cancer, therfore for women at least the answer would be that you would die younger.
As far as castrated men living longer, this is just a load off balls.
