As a male virgin who plans on saving himself for marriage, I get really annoyed when I read all of the articles and chain emails that discuss how healthy sex is. They keep insisting in terms of health, it's smarter to have sex around 3 times a week than save yourself for something.
They say sex releases certain hormones and cuts down cancer risks & early mortality rates.
Obviously, sex is good exercise, but aside from that, all that's happening to you during sex is ejaculation and the emotional gratification of knowing someone will do it with you.
PHYSICALLY, I don't see any difference between sex and masturbation, (aside from the extra exercise, which can be made up for).
(I understand semen can be healthy for women in ways, but I'm asking about the males here.)
Is there really much difference to your body between actual sex and masturbation? Are single guys who pleasure themselves now and then supposedly missing out on these lower mortality rates? I don't see how they could.
