You missed my point and selectively quoted half of my last sentence. Your health will not necessarily suffer if you choose to abstain, masturbate, or can't have safe sex because you're not in a stable relationship. "Psychological effects" which you mention, but don't specify, can also occur if not all of the 10 "surprising health benefits" happen, and frustration takes over. That can lead to worse consequences (rape, sexually transmitted diseases) than a sensible acceptance of reality. For those whose sex life is maybe less than perfect, according to the criteria listed in this and other articles in the media, please be reassured. It's still possible to enjoy good health. Other factors are of more importance in causing heart disease, prostate cancer, and common colds.
