I have read long ago on the internet that by abstaining from sex one can remain young forever and also extend life. I could not locate that article anymore. Has any of you read that website?

You don't really live forever. It just seems like it.
Mark Twain said he heard when he was 10 or 11 that smoking would shorten his life by 10 years! So he got scared and gave it up one day, for two or three hours. Then he decided that 10 years wouldn't be worth living if there wasn't any smoking in it, so he took up the habit again.
And so with sex.

It didn't do much for Pope John Paul. Without sex, you don't smile as much and it takes more facial muscles to frown, so that would not add to a youthful appearance, either. I don't care if you look young forever, I will never be a celibate.

I doubt if there is any longevity in being a virgin and abstaining from masterbation all your life. Plus, sex is God's gift for marriage.
You want to say young forever, abstain from the American Diet, eat natural foods and fresh healthy meats (not too often), exercise, and fast often.

During sex and masterbation there are chemicals released into the body that make you feel euphoric, enhancing sexual pleasure and all that good stuff. Most things you put into your body that make you "feel good" aren't nessecarily good for you. I believe over time that too much of it is simply poisonous. Our human bodies can deal with a lot of punishment, but poisons and toxins can hurt us alot more than a stab wound sometimes can.
Practised by monks buddhist, tibetan, fransiscan.....The art of abstinence. Shaolin monks as well practise this, and they say allows them to harness greater inner strength.

If you are talking about abstaining from sex, you are talking about CHASTITY.
Celibacy is being unmarried. Look it up.
No human can remain young forever, nor live forever.

There's only one way to extend your life. Good diet and exercise.Even then, you could step in front of a bus.

It's a tantra principle but this is highly debatable. Yes, I've seen these types of teachings and I'm not sure how valid they really are.

Sorry mate, but that is simply untrue. Studies show that people who regularly sleep with a sexual partner live measurably longer.
Any way, its not the years in your life the the life in your years.

No, its sounds like they were over exaggerating but it makes sense,,, having sex puts you at so much risk for diseases and etc..... Everyone would obviously be healthier if we only had 1 partner forever
