A large Harvard study suggests men who ejaculate more frequently may have a lower risk of prostate cancer. The research kept track of over 30,000 men for nearly 20 years. The finding? Those who ejaculated more than 20 times per month had a 20% reduced risk compared to those who did only four to seven times.
The reason behind this is unclear, but one theory is that infrequent ejaculation allows potentially harmful substances to build up in the prostate, increasing cancer risk. This is exciting because, unlike things like age or genetics, ejaculation frequency is something we can control.
