New Campaign Sparks Debate: More Masturbation Could Lower Cancer Risk
A bold new health campaign is making waves by encouraging men to ejaculate more often, claiming it could help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
The campaign, led by FCancer, aims to raise awareness about cancer prevention in an unconventional way, urging men to reach about 21 ejaculations per month for potential health benefits.
According to Dr. Lorelei Mucci from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, research tracking over 50,000 men since 1986 found that those with more frequent ejaculation had a 19–22% lower risk of prostate cancer compared to those with less activity.
However, experts say the number is not a strict rule. Even lower frequencies showed some reduced risk, suggesting that consistency may matter more than hitting a specific target.
Scientists are still studying the exact reasons behind the link, but some believe regular ejaculation may help clear harmful substances, reduce inflammation, or support prostate health.
Prostate cancer remains one of the most common cancers in men worldwide, making prevention and early detection key topics — even when the message comes in a controversial form.
