Sex is a natural instinct, i don't think it is good to suppress a natural thing.
In nature, the strong are the ones having the sex.
When I was young I could do the morning runs in the Army after a night of drinking, less than an hour sleep and smoke just before the run. At the time I would have sworn it didn't matter and at the time I was right. You don't see the effects until later, with maturity.

Now I dont smoke, dont drink and live on a diet of salads, fish, fruits, nuts and running is starting to get hard and because of the smoking getting air is hard for me when the temp. gets below 30 degrees, plus I am nearing 40.

Perhaps sex is in the same category for spirituality as smoking is for running. You dont notice the effects until it is too late.
