Does Abstinence From Sex Cause Harm To Health?

Hello, I am a 27 year old virgin and I was wondering if not having sex is harmful or not healthy for women. I choose to wait til marriage but just haven t found the one . I hear constantly that having sex three times a week can elongate your life. What is true? Am I risking my health staying a virgin?
