Of course, nobody dies from abstinence, but there are major health problems associated with it. Fortunately there is no way to force it really beyond the point of wet dream. The body is protecting itself from the negative effects of abstinense. And the stress of abstinence is always there. Now if there is the easy and natural way to fight this stress, why not do it? Why take the long and unnatural way, when there is a straightforward one? |
Can you name one, just one health problem which comes from let's say one year abstinence from sex? I do not consider wet dreams as a health problem, it's rather an issue for washer.

Actually I have no faintest idea what does it mean to be human, for that matter. I hope to figure the bits and pieces of it during my lifetime.

what can I say? I feel sorry for you

Having said that, it is not that hard to get to the animal level of behavior. I've owned a dog, and had a lot of time to watch it and to study from it. I know how it feeds, I know it breathes, I know it doesn't think.
There are techniques that let you enter the "animal state" and go way beyond what can be seen on a Discovery channel.

I'm very interested in these techniques, can you give me a link?
Unless they involve removing a huge part of my neocortex...

Wrong. Or at least bad example. Even in animal kingdom rape is not common. This is one bit that can clearly be seen on the Discovery channel. Females choose the males who compete for the females attention. This is the fundamental property of gender reproduction.

You are right this is a bad example. Actually after I wrote this I started to think that in animal kingdom the main purpose of sex is what you have written.

This is what I call human arrogance  . It is not even our ancestors living on trees, it was our own species. There is nothing to turn back, really. No significant time has passed. What we call "morale" is just 2007 years old. Protecting the different versions of this morale has lead to atrocities unspeakable in the nature kingdom.
And there is no contradiction between acknowledging our nature and advancing our civilization. Roman Empire was one of the pinnacles of human civilization, however it was devoid of hypocrisy we are dealing with these days.

I disagree, the morale is much more older and it does not condemn sexuality in itself
