I am not sufficiently qualified to comment on this particular sociocultural trends nor can I give medical recommendations. However, some may want to inform themselves by evaluating the current status of relevant research. A number of studies have found that greater ejaculation frequency is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer.

One such research in question :

Ejaculation Frequency and Risk of Prostate Cancer: Updated Results with an Additional Decade of Follow-up | doi:10.1016/j.eururo.2016.03.027

The difference is very small, and the line for 0-3 ejaculations per month being at the middle instead of the bottom is kinda sus

Also, based on the “Results and limitations” summary, the increased prostate cancer risk might also be from high body mass index, sexually transmitted infections, and/or alcohol consumption

  Also I see an issue with the correlation vs causation: healthier people probably masturbate more often, on average

For old people yeah, but for young people it increases the risk for prostate cancer. One group does it too little, the other does it too much.

  You may want to add a source or 2 to your reply, you know, same as the person you replied to did. Otherwise, people may draw the conclusion that you’re not a valuable source yourself.
