Did JAMA say whether it was more beneficial to release the goo in the presence of others or by yourself?
I'd think physical contact would be the key factor but there has been suggestion that not just the penetrative aspect but the ejaculate itself contains hormones that can act as mood elevators.

Just one of those things that make you go "hmm".
We have had plenty of debate, mass debate if you will, about the morality of "cheating", but I am interested in the downside of not getting as much sex as you need, whether in a relationship or not?
I could have put this in the relationship section, but I don't want to limit the question to people in relationships. Also I have never heard of gay guys complaining - is it predominantly a straight thing?
For those who will say that you should compromise, can I ask which other areas affecting your health and happiness you compromise?
IMHO this is one of the most interesting and potentially controversial things that has ever been posted on this iste. The fact that it has attracted so little response suggests to me that it was posted in the wrong place.
Sad.
Thanks Abdik8. That is pretty comprehenive. I am presuming then that you think it's quite important to fill your boots when you need to and on the flip side to be sympathetic to a partner's needs?
The only thing that abdik8 left out is that if you are in a relationship and going through any of those phases over a long period of time there is a substitution or surrogate. It's not another person. It's usually food, alcohol, overworking or something of that nature.
