Does protestantism give value to abstinence, I'm wandering?

the colonial Americans were EXTREME protestants.. they executed people for promiscuity and whipped people and put them in stocks for masturbation. In the Orthodox, we don't go that far, we just recommend seasonal abstinence for the mind. Again, there is absolutely nothing wrong with sex, but like all things, moderation is the key. If you are over emphasize your sexuality all the time, you inherently have a tendency to objectify to opposite sex. It is MORE humanizing to practice abstinence from time to time..
