For a man doctors say no, but that's a shakey point. It is said a man who has ejaculation regulrly has a lower risk if enlarged prostate in older age, but that doesn't mean sex, it means ejacuation which can be done other ways.
Religiously I agree with celabacy until marriage. I mean do you want a heavily used woman as your wife? Do you want your wife to have a heavily used man?
Remember, ever girl is someone's daughter, you want you daughter to have a liste of men insider her?
Religions, however, are against all forms of sex for gratification, including masturbation and lap dances.
Doctors say, for a man, this can be a good thing, but it's shakey.
For girls, I've known too many who reget "letting me inside them" after the stuff hits the fan. After they get dumped.
You have to choose your own path, but I once again say, if you have a daughter would you want her to let all sorts of guys inside of her?
Balance things out. Do the ultimate right thing.
If a girl is easy with you and you marry her and she gets tired of you will she be easy with another guy who "turns her on"?
Do you want to know the list of guys who've had her?
Do you want to tell her the list of girls you've had?
Sex is like 10 minutes a day of marriage. Living with the girl is like 23 hours and 50 minutes of that day.
Evetually a girl becomes your mother. She tells you what to do and how to live. Eventually the sex no longer takes the edge off that.
You have to pick a girl who is so awesome that you are willing to take orders from her. That goes beyond what she looks like naked and how you feel inside of her. You have to share a house, a bed, a life with her.
Make the right choices or spiritually you will suffer!

In the Christian faith, celibacy is about letting go of the wants of the flesh. This goes along with fasting and such practices. It helps to take one's focus off the body and place it on the spirit. The thing about God's "rules" is that something isn't bad because God says so, it is bad for you, therefore He warns against it. He loves us and wants us to be happy, but He knows better than anyone what will make us happy. After all, He made us. The bible specifies that we should wait until we get married to have sex, but it also says not to deny our spouse. These are all good ideas. It also specifies that when a husband and wife are in agreement, they can set a time of celibacy in order to work on their spiritual growth, as long as there is a reasonable time limit that they both agree upon. But then, it says they must come back together, so they will not be tempted outside the marriage. In the bible it also says that it is not good for man to be alone, that is why God designed marriage.
From personal experience, I tried the whole cohabitation thing, it didn't make me spiritually happy. I ended up hurt and my partner at the time was not as committed to me as I was to him. In my current relationship, we were attracted to each other at first, and we did become intimate. However, this man is much more equally matched to me spiritually and we both felt that we wanted it to mean so much more. Once we knew how well matched we were and knew we wanted to get married, we both decided to stop our physical relationship until we get married. This is hard, but we have grown so much spiritually during this time. We have grown in our relationship with each other and with God. We are able to focus more on each other's spiritual needs and it has brought us to a realization of how well we are going to get along throughout our marriage. It also showes your partner that you have control over your body and will not stray from them even if they are tempted. It is a show of strength. But boy are we looking forward to our wedding and honeymoon in 6 weeks! ;)

Well in the Celtic Faiths, having sex was good for the women spiritually but bad for the man. Since the women took in the spiritual power from the act and the men gave the spiritual power in the act.
It really depends on what spiritual belief you are referring.

It is not unhealthy, but some people will devote them selves to a higher power, and to achieve a certain spirituality you have to learn to control some things, some people choose celibacy because it is one of the most things humans enjoy, sacrifice helps you control your though and master this techniques.

All I can say is that there is a Scripture that says, "For if they cannot contain, let them marry for it is better to marry than to burn." In other words, celibacy is spiritually healthy as long as you remember the consequences!

Only you know what's right or wrong for you, listen to your conscience. However, sex is a beautiful thing and I do not agree with celibacy having anything to do with growing spiritually. Only your mind can do that for you.........

Well, it has been proven to be bad for your health. Being bad for your spirit is a different story.
My advice, life is precious: Choose Celebration over Celibacy

Are you for real, do you think there would be so many Catholic priests in the news if it was healthy and spiritually good?

Yes, celibacy is wonderful if you are not married. However, if you are married it is very wrong to deny your spouse, not to mention highly foolish.
