Is it true that without sex, women age faster because abstinence leads to hormonal imbalances that decrease collagen production?
The absence or presence of sex does not affect the function of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, or ovaries, so a woman will not experience hormonal imbalance during abstinence. The synthesis of collagen is influenced by thyroid hormones and estrogen, the absence or presence of sexual life does not affect the synthesis of these hormones in any way, and therefore, does not affect collagen either.
