Le sex vs semen retention
-
@Mallard6146 I think it fairly well understood on this forum that sexual maturity (especially early) tends to be the result of life stressors, which at this time, appear to be largely unavoidable in the world. Immortality would probably mean a much later sexual maturity, if ever. And it's also clear that hypersexual people aren't healthy. Perhaps unable to reach satisfaction (synchronization?) due to a bad hormonal situation. Not unlike some drug users they are desperately trying to reach out for this thing with some relatively positive consequences in order to feel better, although with an overall negative result. Local optimum.
There is no flowchart yet, but it's clear to me that the answer to OP's question swings towards "have sex", especially "good".

I’d like more thoughts and discussion on this.

@healthyfungus Something I wish there was a bit more literature on is the effect of semen on females.
If you look around you'll find some stuff about the semen of fruit flies causing behavioral changes in females, but this hasn't been carried out in humans AFAIK.
If the "potency" of semen is related among other things to the metabolic functionality of sperm cells, then metabolically healthy sperm might have an actual psychological effect on females. In my personal experience this is at least plausible.
It's also an interesting potential vector of horizontal gene transfer. It makes me think about the utility of that even for something like treating diseases "caused" or at least flywheeled on genetic expression.

@Rah1woot It may be beneficial for females, but is it worth losing the semen for a female's benefit?
I'm making a ton of videos on semen retention, here's the first one, and have more coming on the channel.

Hardly the only thing men do for women's benefit... probably the upside for the male-female pair is positive-sum. Even if once a month or so.
Ray Peat talked briefly about how bacteria would donate genetic material through horizontal gene transfer even for "strange, unrelated" bacteria.

I once emailed Dr. Peat about semen’s effect on women and he responded “ I think it’s likely to be beneficial, if the man is healthy.”

Damn, there goes my next pick-up line.

@Luke lol.
I have practiced having sex twice a day, and ejaculating on a schedule, but not that often, for about 15 years.
I have found that men can become more masculine, more powerful, more successful, this way. And you are head over heels in love with your partner.
Nothing compares to this to make a wonderful life. Nothing.

I remember an interview with the late Gary Wilson. He said that the doctor who "prescribed" karezza to patients (for birth control) was surprised that one of the side effects was that marriages improved when the guy stopped ejaculating so much.That fits with your description of "head over heels in love with your partner".

@Ecstatic_Hamster I've been trying to make a point of cumming inside, per fertility awareness, I can do it without risk of pregnancy perhaps once a month.
My woman being more healthy is a benefit to me.
