hey there,
I am a 19 yr old male.
I have been surfing the web for a way to prevent prostate cancer. I have have read that frequent ejaculation will decrease the risks of having prostate cancer.
I would like to know if such statement is accurate?
how frequent should one ejaculate to lower the risks of having prostate cancer?
and, should i start doing it now or should i wait until i get older?
thanks,


Masturbate to your heart's desire. You cannot over do it, if you try your body will simply refuse to respond for several hours. So, if you do it once a day, more than once a day, every other day, every few days, along with multiple times a day once in a while, no harm no foul. I just posted the benefits to masturbation, yesterday. Do an advanced search using my name.
Exercising and eating a low fat diet along with fruits and vegetables as well as some fish will help in the avoidance of prostate cancer. Keeping your weight in order can also reduce your risk.
Welcome to the SI101 Board and its Forums. I hope you enjoy participating.
thanks for the info. I'll make sure i read your post.
thanks,
Here is a copy of that post from a few days ago.
> What are the effects of masturbation happening everyday for a few years including cumming?
Isn't cumming the point?
Here is a copy of a reply I posted last November: {2006)
"For both boys and girls, learning to masturbate to climax helps establish the connections between the millions of sensitive nerve endings in the skin and the pleasure center in the brain. It is a natural part of our maturation. Mother Nature gives us the pleasure center in the brain, the nerve endings, and, the autonomic nervous system that transmits the signals back and forth, yet through some twist of evolution the connects are not established. Practice is how this is accomplished. Boys do this rather matter-of-factly right out of puberty while girls often begin later, if at all.
So, the main reason a girl should masturbate is to transmute from a pre-orgasmic entity into an orgasmic being.
Other benefits to masturbating to climax are:
a) stress relief
* sexual
* emotional
* physical
b) as an aid to falling asleep
c) relieving menstrual cramps
d) strengthens the body's immune system and helps
build resistance to common infections
e) stimulates the body to release mood elevating endorphins
f) reduces yeast infections
g) strengthens the pelvic muscles
h) masturbation provides an excellent cardiovascular workout!
i) increases sexual self awareness"
...and in a follow-up post, noting that masturbation is also "FUN"!
Enjoy,

Yes, there is some indication, or statistical relationship, between ejaculation and lowering prostate cancer. No real foolow up studies have been done to measure frequency. No prescription can be made but a "normal" or "typical" sex life seems to be right. That would include Doc's recommendations above.
thank you all for the info, that's reassuring.
