Sex, Masturbation, and Prostate Cancer: What’s the Link?
There’s growing evidence that men who ejaculate more often could have a lower chance of having prostate cancer.

If you are over 50 fapping may actually be good for you.

"Frequent masturbation during men's 20s and 30s increased their risk of prostate cancer," Dimitropoulou tells WebMD. "But men in their 50s who masturbated frequently had decreased risk."
Of course, masturbation frequency is relative.
For men in their 20s, "frequent masturbation" was two to seven times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported masturbating less than once per month, 20-something frequent masturbators had a 79% higher risk of prostate cancer by age 60.
For men in their 50s, "frequent masturbation" was one or more times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported never masturbating, 50-something frequent masturbators had a 70% lower risk of prostate cancer.
What's going on? The study wasn't designed to answer that question. But Dimitropoulou and colleagues have some theories.
They suggest that young men genetically predisposed to have hormone-sensitive prostate cancer will be at higher risk if their bodies naturally produce high levels of male hormones -- the same hormones that give them an intense sex drive.
So it's not masturbation itself that's increasing prostate cancer risk in young men. More masturbation may just mean more sex drive -- and more androgens bathing prostate tissues.

Be specific. Fapping is only bad if you're a man because our joy is somebody else's sorrow. For women it's empowering and beautiful ONLY if a man is not watching....
...and beating the shit out of his dick at the same time!

Ehhh, you shouldn't say fapping is bad you should just say porn is bad. Its okay to fap maybe once every three weeks or a month if u aint gotta girl thats when ur probably gonna be most amped before u have a wet dream. You can wait for a wet dream to unleash, but that takes at least a month. ehh in my experience even plain old pics of chicks in bikinis is enough to make u howl like a dog hahaha but still just stay away from pr0n i don't like how much power they're having over my fellow bros mind. U gotta eat more kale and nuts and seeds and beans and supplement with vitamin D and zinc. those foods contain natural chemicals that will make u less amped. i would go months at a time without fapping, but then i would just have wet dreams and i think longest i went was a year. not thinking about sex and chicks and being a slave to them can be done i got so good at it sometimes I worry myself that I barely get the urge sometimes. but i spent years experimenting with this refining my technique and diet i think I attempted no fap back in 2012 thats when I got into it.

While I don’t think exploring yourself and figuring out what gets you off is a bad thing, I think like anything, doing it too much is not healthy.
I also think that the easy access to porn that our kids have now, may change how they look at sex. If they think that it’s normal for what happens in some of those videos, or some boys find a rough fetish before they are old enough to tell the difference, there could be some troubling cases coming up.
I find it irresponsible of the industry to make titles like family get together, and make it like brothers and sisters and step moms and kids are fucking all the time.
I get that they are trying to get the clicks from minors who know how to check the im 18 box, but it is giving our kids perverse views about what 2 consenting adults do.
In my opinion.

Probably hard to do if you are a teenager now with access to all the porn in the world.
I used to have to regulate with scrambled channels, or married with children, or a shared magazine we hid in the woods (gross.)
Most of all I would have to use my imagination and my spank bank to make a thing.
Now, not so much.

Well research from 2009 suggests that frequent wanking in your 20s and 30s was linked to a higher risk of prostate cancer because your basically over stressing your prostrate and it only drops the cancer risk in the over 50s because they need to use there prostrate more often.
The research that linked frequent wanking to a reduction of prostate cancer across all age groups had issues with test data and had several limitations.
My guess though as with everything else in this world... everything in moderation.

You joke but I remember some guy when I was in a college asking whether wanking 6 times a day was a bad thing.
Admittedly he did look like this: -
No amount of cucumber slices were ever getting rid of those black bags

: The point is though: Even if you do it 10 times a day, why judge yourself because of it..It's still the best "bad habit" that you can have.
It doesn't cost you anything, it's healthy for your prostate, and it gives you a clear mind after it.
Some people buy and smoke cigarettes for that, ruining their healths and spending shitloads of money.
Drop that religious bullshit, and fap as much as you want, people.
There is nothing wrong with it.

While that is true, it's still not worth to give yourself feelings of guilt because of that lame shit.
A friend of mine "confessed" to me a couple of years ago, that he is severely depressed because of his "addiction to porn and fapping". And when I asked him about how severe it is he told me "FIVE TIMES A DAY! I AM SUCH A WORTHLESS PERSON!"
I laughed, and told him it's okay, just accept it. We are not all the same.
Just fap. It's okay.

Probably shouldn’t do too much of that either, but take advantage while you can.
