1 :
yes it can. ejactulation releases testosterone that would only build up in the prostate. too much testosterone in your prostates causes prostate cancer
2 :
Frequent emptying of the prostrate has shown to reduce the chance of prostrate cancer, either by sex, masturbation or prostrate massage (look it up).

Brandon A is right and wrong. Testosterone does NOT build up in the prostate, but it can promote cancer. However, studies have shown that ejaculations will decrease the risks associated with prostate cancer. The prostate is a gland, and it needs to be kept healthy and ACTIVE. There are also supplements that can be taken such as: saw palmetto, shark cartilage, and others; check with your herbal dealer.

6 :
Frequent sexual intercourse and masturbation protects men against a common form of cancer, suggests the largest study of the issue to date yet. The US study, which followed nearly 30,000 men over eight years, showed that those that ejaculated most frequently were significantly less likely to get prostate cancer

it is true in some regard. the issue is and completely depends on the condition of the prostate right now. does he currently have prostate cancer, yes or no. if no, it should help. if yes, it may or may not help. once the prostate has cancer, increased testosterone levels will increase the growth of cancer. this is a big debate, if you don't have cancer in your prostate, it may be truye that higher levels of testosterone may prevent prostate cancer. men generally don't get prostate cancer until they are older, when testosterone levels start to naturally drop.
