Keppler, I must disagree with you in some of your reasoning concerning masturbation. I am a woman who masturbates often and it serves me well. I've always wondered what the connection of sex is as related to life, energy, health etc. We all know that the purpose of sex is reproduction mainly, but on the flipside, I would like to know what or how a person could use their sexual energy to boost their brain power. If you know where I could find research pertaining to this subject I would appreciate knowing. Thank you
