A medical practitioner and CEO of New Life Homeopathic Clinic, Dr Mark Agyei, has dismissed claims that abstaining from sex can lead to mental health problems.
Speaking in an interview with Okay FM, Dr Agyei, while responding to a call from a listener about the phenomenon, stated, “That is a false claim. If you want to have sex every day, it is up to you. Even married couples don’t have sex daily — some do it once or twice a month. It depends on individual preferences.”
He addressed the misconception that single people who don’t engage in regular sex risk developing mental disorders, calling it ‘completely untrue.’
“If you live alone and you are single, and someone tells you that if you don’t have sex on a daily basis, you will run mad, it is never true.
“Scientifically, there is no link between lack of sex and mental health problems. If indeed you have any mental health issues, then it is not about sex,” he clarified.
Dr Agyei acknowledged that while some individuals may be sex addicts or overly dependent on their partners, their behavioural issues stem from deeper psychological concerns rather than sexual deprivation.
“For them, their mental issues go beyond sex. But scientifically, lack of sex does not cause mental issues,” he said.
