There was a scientific study done in the past couple of years about this subject. The study found that men you ejaculated a lot in life had a significantly greater change of NOT getting prostate cancer. It seems that when we ejaculate certain substances are removed from the prostate (I don't know what they are). By not ejaculating often these substances accummulate over the years and create a place for cancer to occur. So go wank and enjoy!

Men over age 50 who masterbate at least 3 times a week are 75% less likely to get prostate cancer than those who masterbate less or not at all.

According to a team of researchers in Australia led by Dr. Graham Giles, males who masturbated most often when they were in their teens and 20s had the least incidence of prostate cancer later. They did this study by asking a group of men with prostate cancer and an age-matched group without prostate cancer how often they had masturbated and had sexual intercourse at various times in their lives. They found that the males whose sexual outlet when they were young was primarily masturbating were better off than those whose sexual outlet was primarily intercourse. They speculated that by engaging in sexual intercourse, those men were exposing themselves to STDs that also put their prostate at risk. So one of the surprising findings of this research is that ejaculating by masturbating is better than ejaculating by intercourse, at least for males without a monogamous partner. Who woulda thunk it?! Dr. Giles recommends that males masturbate at least six times a week. So why has he not been given the Nobel prize for medicine?
