I have been seeing @Agwambo claim that frequent ejaculation reduces the risk of prostrate cancer. I have always thought this was a joke but I have started to take it seriously. I know of two widowers who were diagnosed with prostrate cancer.
The researchers conclude: This large prospective study provides the strongest evidence to date of a beneficial role of ejaculation in prevention of PCa, a disease for which relatively little is understood about etiology generally and knowledge of modifiable risk factors is particularly scant.
We found that men reporting higher compared to lower ejaculatory frequency in adulthood were less likely to be subsequently diagnosed with prostate cancer.
They recommend that an adult male should ejaculate at minimum 7 times a month.

Just understand that masturbation is not part of this helpful process, unfortunately, for the nyonga monkey fans.
Frequent masturbation in young men is linked to a higher risk of early prostate cancer, but it lowers prostate cancer risk for men in their 50s, a study shows. High levels of male sex hormones, or androgens, may increase a man’s risk of prostate cancer. But different studies of this question, done in different ways, have reached different conclusions.
To look at the question in a new way, a team of researchers at the England’s University of Nottingham looked at whether men with more intense sex drives were at a higher risk of prostate cancer.
For men in their 20s, “frequent masturbation” was two to seven times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported masturbating less than once per month, 20-something frequent masturbators had a 79% higher risk of prostate cancer by age 60.
For men in their 50s, “frequent masturbation” was one or more times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported never masturbating, 50-something frequent masturbators had a 70% lower risk of prostate cancer.
What’s going on? The study wasn’t designed to answer that question. But Dimitropoulou and colleagues have some theories.
They suggest that young men genetically predisposed to have hormone-sensitive prostate cancer will be at higher risk if their bodies naturally produce high levels of male hormones – the same hormones that give them an intense sex drive.
So it’s not masturbation itself that’s increasing prostate cancer risk in young men. More masturbation may just mean more sex drive – and more androgens bathing prostate tissues.
Ten-year follow-up data from add to prior evidence suggesting more frequent ejaculation may reduce prostate cancer risk.
“Our findings provide additional evidence of a beneficial role of more frequent ejaculation throughout adult life in the etiology of prostate cancer, particularly for low-risk disease,” Jennifer R. Rider, ScD, MPH, assistant professor in the department of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health, and colleagues wrote.
Rider and colleagues aimed to comprehensively evaluate the inverse association between ejaculation frequency and prostate cancer risk among 31,925 men.
Researchers used data from a 1992 questionnaire that included questions about ejaculation frequency. Men were followed through 2010.
Median monthly ejaculation frequency was assessed between the ages of 20 and 29 years, 40 and 49 years, and the year before questionnaire distribution. The researchers accounted for screening, clinically relevant disease subgroups and the effects of mortality from other causes.
The analysis included 480,831 person-years of follow-up.
During that time, 3,839 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Multivariable analyses showed significantly reduced prostate cancer incidence among men who reported 21 or more ejaculations per month compared with those who reported four to seven ejaculations per month. HRs for prostate cancer incidence were 0.81 (95% CI, 0.72-0.92) for those aged 20 to 29 years, and 0.78 (95% CI, 0.69-0.89) for those aged 40 to 49 years.
