Question: What do you think of this study linking masturbation to a higher risk of prostate cancer!?
A study in Nottingham University says that people who frequently masturbate (or have sex) have a higher risk of prostate cancer!. It is on the BBC site, so can't be a hoax!.

What do you think!? Weren't we all being told the opposite all these years!? You can still find a lot of internet links suggesting that masturbation LOWERS the risk of getting prostate cancer, including the following one, also from BBC but more than 5 years ago:

The sad truth is that cancer is more prevalent across the board and the younger you are, the more likely it is you'll develop some form of cancer!. The last study I read said that people born after 1980 have about a 50% chance of getting some kind of cancer in their lifetime, and it's rising!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Still waiting for the hairy palms!.
Read the article!.
>He said that it was possible that higher levels of sex hormones in some men were both responsible for a high sex drive in their 20s and 30s, and for the development of prostate cancer later on!. <
So it has nothing to do with how much you masturbate but how much you want to masturbate or have sex!.
Stopping and waiting would likely kick in the other reasons for getting prostate cancer, lack of movement by potential carcinogens!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh, no, don't stop masturbating on account of reading something!. Continue what you do until authenticated, continued proof exists!. Yes, European countries do loads of research more than US scientists and "experts"!. Also, BBC is more willing to speak and promote subjects considered taboo here in the USA!. Listen and watch what BBC says; then you make up your mind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I saw that as well!. It's typical of science to prove something, and a few years later, prove the opposite!.
I think it's call 'job creation' - must keep all those researchers in jobs!.
I think I'll be carrying on, I seem to remember 2 or 3 different studies suggesting that it reduced the risk, so I'll see if any more come up like this latest one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think that mastrubation causes prostate cancer I only think that the scientists, are just trying to find the reason of it but in my opinion theres no reason it happends or not!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

All these studies are conducted to arrive at a preconceived answer, usually for grant money!. This one looks like it was commissioned by certain religious wackos!. The BBC happens to be an extremely prejudiced media outlet not even slightly balanced!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The answer is BS not true and as for me i'm going to continue masturbating forever and i suggest you will want to do the same unless you need more permission or studies!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it's a load of BS because masturbating empties prostate toxins out of your body and two, a lot of teens would be dead if your question was right!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think they may got it *** about i am 47 been masturbating since i was 12 have regular blood tests ETC done no signs of cancerWww@Answer-Health@Com

Could just be a bad sample for the study!. I can't imagine that being true!. If that were the case every man would get prostate cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think if it were true there would be lots of dead preteen and teenage boys!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
