It does all sorts of good things to your body. It can be foreplay to sex with your SO, or it can be something you share with yourself.

edit: I think it's silly to abstain if you want it, and I think she's even sillier for thinking it's alright for her to demand this of you. At the end of the day, you should be your own person. Talk to her about it, that is in no way a good long term solution.
