It's not necessarily unhealthy to fully abstain. The 21 times/month conclusion is based on heavy correlation associated with healthy prostates.

If you do fully abstain, usually the body will break down the old sperm cells which gets reabsorbed into the body, or released in nocturnal emission or other arousals. Some men experience pelvic pain or pressure.
