One study found having many sex partners is only weakly related to health.<ref>https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsos.160603</ref> Also physical attractiveness is not very much related to health.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Attractive_people_are_perceived_much_more_positively_than_they_really_are</ref> This may serve as evidence that it is indeed sexual frustration causing illness and suffering than vice-versa.
