what effects, if any does it have on
1) pheromones (output level etc?)
2) the immune system
not masturbation itself of course, but ejeculation

Well .. if you've swapped bodily fluids with your partner for many years you increase your chances of being an organ donor for them?? Since your iimmune systems are more used to each other .. saw something about a husband donating a kidney to his wife even though techincally they weren't compatible - it worked cos of the years of their bodies getting used to each other!!
Would imagine it increases your hormone (androgen, *testosterone* if your male) level slightly and generally uses up energy.
Sex/wanking is good for your body and immune system (so I've read), Not sure how it helps (perhaps it boost white blood cell production, which in turn, help you to fight off nasty colds, etc.)
All you need to know is that it's healthy and won't harm your body
I assume we're talking about men here?
I don't know what effects it has on pheromones, but it is supposed to increase the amount of testosterone, and therefore increase general horniness. That old wives tale about blokes abstaining from sex before a football or boxing match doesn't hold any water. Having sex would increase the testosterone, and the sense of wellbeing. Which brings us on to the immune system. It's supposed to boost the immune system due to the enjoyment of the orgasm and feelings afterards - ie when you feel happy you're immune system is stronger. When you're down, depressed, or stressed, your immune system suffers.
That's all I know about it after reading numerous articles, and watching many programmes about it. I'm no expert (except perhaps in the masturbating department).
