How does masturbation reduce the risk for prostate cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It doesn't: We've looked at the effect of frequent ejaculation. It doesn't seem to impact prostate cancer risk one way or the other. It's safe and helps you stay comfortable and prepare for adult roles. Best wishes.
