Masturbating and having sex more frequently may lower the risk of prostate cancer in men, according to a review of studies spanning 30 years. Increased ejaculation frequency is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer by one-third. The exact mechanism is not well understood but may involve increased blood flow to the prostate.

  • Studies suggest that frequent ejaculation may stimulate changes in prostate tissues

Pros

  • Increased ejaculation frequency associated with lower risk of prostate cancer
  • Potential benefits of increased blood flow to the prostate
