I recently heard that there is some kind of connection between prostate cancer and masturbating. The study showed that men who masturbated frequently in their 20s and 30s had more of a chance of getting Prostate cancer. Is any of this true? Is there any concern here as far as that goes with the masturbating and the increased risk of Prostate Cancer?

According to the study, yes. I read the study as well. Men who masturbated frequently in their 20s and 30s (more than once a week I think it was) were at a higher risk, whereas men in their 40s and 50s seemed to benefit from it.

I don;t believe it. Most guys masturbate at least 3 times a week. Also, from the body's point of view, what's the difference between masturbation and intercourse? Nah! It's rubbish!

There have been hundreds, possibly thousands of studies done on prostate cancer but so far medical science hasn't discovered what causes it. The only real correlation they've discovered is, the older a man gets the more chance he has of getting PCa. Not much of a consolation but that's all they know so far.
