The article is referring to tradeoffs made on evolutionary timescales, not the conservation of precious bodily fluids.

I think this line of thinking goes into an extreme. Preserving bodily fluids is not as useful as the Esoteric Teachings claim, and can lead to accumulation of frustration. They just keep people horny and try to reuse that energy, with more or less success.

Not vouching for it per se... I just get triggered by something that I read and then it brings up all the seemingly related content I have ingested in the past...
I find this protein folding talk to be relevant:

Japan has some of the longest living people and they've least sex in the world.
This is a very interesting statement - in some of the Esoteric Teachings I have read throughout my life - they specifically say that masturbation for simple pleasure (ejaculation in males) -- drains you of your life essence and is seen spiritually as a selfish-wasteful use of your life - and this shortens your lifespan and reduces your spiritual power. (additionally, doing very deliberate things with sexual energy is a basis in sex magick)...
The idea being that you're pulling life-force from yourself and then 'projecting' intentionally toward what you're doing with that sexual energy -- which would be interesting if you were draining energy from mitochondria in general.
