Yes. Strange eh

Technically, yes. It is because when ever you masturbate, you keep on ejaculating, thus releasing stagnant semen from your seminal vesicles and stagnant fluids from your prostate. When the fluids in your prostate don't get flushed out often, they form calcifications - the start of growth of prostatic tumors. It is therefore of no wonder that old men tend to have prostate cancer.

Frequent ejaculation, whether from masturbation, or intercourse with another person, is essential for good prostate health.

I am not sure that there is any proof positive that masturbation increases your chance of prostate cancer. I have heard it said - I also think that it might be one of those stories that you read with no scientific basis to it. To be blunt with you - if every male member of your father and mother's family has died of prostate cancer then you are likely to get prostate cancer whether you masturbate ten times a day or never. Prostate cancer generally is one of those things that we inherit susceptibility to from genes. Masturbating may be fun, good for you and incredibly common. It probably does you no harm at all but does it really decrease your chances of prostate cancer - I doubt it really. Cheers

That doesn't sound like it has scientific proof. An important risk factor for prostate cancer is age; more than 70 percent of men diagnosed with this disease are over the age of 65. African American men have a substantially higher risk of prostate cancer than white men, including Hispanic men. Genetic factors appear to play a role in prostate cancer development, particularly among families in which the diagnosis is made in men under age 60. The risk of prostate cancer rises with the number of close relatives who have the disease. Some evidence suggests that dietary factors may increase or decrease the risk of prostate cancer.
