masturbating and prostrate cancer?

[Just a Guy]

I've heard that jerking off decreases the risk of prostate cancer but is that actually true? How does it help? Like Is it proven?

I know there are some on here who don't do it as often as the figure quoted by that article but I think they are the minority.

For me, this is more about having something to use as a counter to anyone who says that masturbation is anything other than a normal, healthy activity.

Also do remember the study was about ejaculation frequency, whatever the cause. If you happen to be lucky and have a g/f who puts out every night of the week you don't have to disappoint her and say you have to keep up a minimum masturbation frequency for the benefit of your prostate.

Because, while prostate cancer and BPH are generally considered diseases of older men the study suggested the risk was related to ejaculation frequency as a young man.

yes, that's true. ejaculating is what decreases the risk of cancer though.. not just jerking off

Frequent masturbation in young men is linked to higher risk of early prostate cancer, but it lowers prostate cancer risk for men in their 50s, a study shows.
