Is it possible to die from not having sex?

Everyone and their grandfather says no... but I still think there must be at least one case of it happening. For instance, some poor guy gets a really bad case of blue balls, develops gangrene, and chooses to die a painful death from blood poisoning rather than undergo emergency surgery to get the damn things nipped off.

Well, if he get really desperate and develops depression and in turn die from it or commit suicide? Other than that, no.

You'll never get blue balls by not having sex.... You'd get blue balls if you have some sexual stimulation but no release - which by the way never caused anyone to die

Well, if we're taking indirect causes into account, I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of instances of somebody suiciding over the lack of sex.

If you're an un-spayed female ferret then yes.

If they go into season and don't mate they can develop extreme anaemia and it can be fatal.

Hehe, as a ferret-mommy, I thought about that too! xD But yeah, nuns and priests generally live longer lifespans than an average person due to many factors.

I could see it being theoretically possible for someone to potentially die from complications resulting from no sexual release. Obviously though, that's not going to happen to the vast majority of folks (and involuntary stuff, like nocturnal emissions, would end up taking care of it most of the time anyway)

From not having sex specifically, though? I'm sure that's bollocks.

Ace guys often advance to Stage IV 'Purple Balls'...a chronic cond. that means you'll likely live forever due to lack of use. Dr :ph34r: [Testicular Specialist]

Most NoFap folks would be dead by now lol

I don't think it's possible via physiological reasons, since as it's been said, if you don't "clean the pipes" manually the body takes care of it on its own. As for psychological reasons, maybe there have been cases of abstinence leading to depression and suicide, I don't know, but again, I don't think it can ever be a direct cause of death.

Possibly, but I think depression leading to abstinence is far more likely than the other way around :)

I recall it felt like one of those chicken-and-egg 'things'. I was depressed because I'd never 'had' a fuck...and I was never going to 'have' one because I was depressed [and 'round and 'round we go]. It was one of many Trap 22s I envisaged in depression.

The scrotal appendage was as purposeless as me...and now all it's good for is "unblocking pipes"? :ph34r:

There is data that suggests a lack of ejaculation can lead to increased cancer risk.

http://www.harvardprostateknowledge.org/does-frequent-ejaculation-help-ward-off-prostate-cancer

That's the closest thing i can think of with regards to a lack of sex actually harming someone, although I would also point out that it doesn't take two people to... take care of this particular problem.

i was under the impression that it was possible to ejaculate without having sex ( some faint memory in my brain says it is called masturbation )

^ Yeah, thus the caveat at the last line of Hyena's post :p

I can't see how it can lead to death, especially when people keep saying that abstinence is the best protection from stuff such as STDs and whatnot. Hmm...Exercise can already provide most of the benefits that sex has (and other benefits), so I guess the only thing I can think of is if the person wasn't doing either and not eating healthy enough to the point where their neglect catches up with them (toss in a few packs of cigarettes for good measure).

According to this website provided by that hyena bloke...

...if I want to reduce the likelihood of contracting prostate cancer, I must ejaculate at least 21 times per month. I'd love to discuss it more fully; but I've got to 'get down' to it. Non-ejaculatory types must appreciate that's quite a challenge. :ph34r:

I'll take it

Well, if that's the case then I guess I'm on the path to death because I've never had sex and I never will

I really extremely highly doubt you can die from lack of sex. Never heard of anything like that before

It appears 'plumbing' is not an analogy for semen-shifting...

...the ductus deferens [Latin: 'carrying away duct'] or vas deferens [Latin: 'carrying away vessel'] is indeed a 'duct' in a male's body. It appears to be a plumbing-pipe

whose purpose is to deliver sperm from the testes to the epididymis and onwards (to where-ever) via the ejaculatory duct.

Honestly. You're going to die whether you have sex or not. It's a fact of life. Everything is avoidable except death and taxes. Whether you die because you did or didn't have sex, that's a different story. There are so many factors that influence our life and our health that you won't be able to identify a single cause of death, least of all whether you had sex or not, because it doesn't have a visible and immediate impact on your health (as in, yeah, some hormone levels increase but it doesn't cause your head to stay on your neck any longer than if you didn't have sex)

even taxes are avoidable, though doing so may speed up the unavoidable thing (death)

Woodworker1968, reference your original post. A nocturnal emission is the body's way of jettisoning old spermatazoa and anything else from the male reproductive tubes

That Hyena Bloke's reference regarding non-ejaculation and prostate cancer is commonly accepted throughout the medical profession. But there are more risk factors than just ejaculatory ones reponsible.

The theory is that ejaculation prevents potentially harmful proteins from accumulating within the prostate gland

As an aside, there have been many cases of people dying during sex, usually because the unaccustomed physical activity triggers a heart attack

Dying from lack of sex?! As if! ;)

TMI

After 40 years of excessive masturbation, I may not get cancer, but my prostate is 3 times it's normal size, and had to be biopsied. My Urologist has been "going in" so often, for extended periods of time, I feel as if I'm in a sexual relationship. :P
