If you abstain too long you'll have a nocturnal emission anyway. And prostate health is based on frequent usage - use it , or lose it

The human body is perfectly capable of recycling sperm without ejaculating. Nocturnal emissions (Such a stupid euphemism. They're not night farts and we're not in Victorian England, just call it wet dreams or sleep jizz and be done with it.) are far more likely hormone linked than masturbation linked, the correlation between masturbation freq and wet dreams is very weak, weaker even than the nofappers claims about it's correlation with T levels. What little correlation it does have is probably just due to the secondary effect masturbation habits can have on hormones and would disappear if you measured and controlled for hormonal changes. It is already known that for people prone to wet dreams masturbating more will likely have little effect and vice versa.

But it's understandable that you'd think that though, even NPR managed to find a quack MD to claim that abstinence will make that happen.

Same for the prostate health, the one study that suggested a health benefit was weak, and later studies have failed for find any correlation within normal populations.

Noctural emissions are not under conscious control so don't count as sexual sins.

Pretty much what the article argues. "Doctors and therapists" are, like you, worried that men might abstain from fornication and masturbation. In the interests of "prostate health", of course. No rationalization or seeking to keep men enslaved to the pursuit of orgasms. Definitely not.

I don't care if you do or don't - most of us don't have to - but for many who don't have a wife or girlfriend there's only one solution - i mean you're not advocating hookers are you ? or just a good rub n tug at the korean parlour?

Not at all. He has very narrow requirements for what constitutes an ethical orgasm, if you're even allowed that much.

?? You don't have to have sex or masturbate. You can just not do it and have a good a life. As I said elsewhere, what is revealing about those who support masturbation is they tend to tell people that "abstinence is impossible", which tells me that they are clearly enslaved by they sexual urges, and definitely not in control of them.
