Harvard Study Links Frequent Ejaculation to Lower Prostate cancer Risk, But Experts Urge Caution
BOSTON, MA – A new study from Harvard university researchers suggests a correlation between frequent ejaculation and a reduced risk of prostate cancer. The research, detailed in [source article – not provided in text], indicates that men who ejaculate 21 or more times a month may experience a protective effect against the disease.
The findings, however, are being carefully qualified by the study’s authors and external experts. Jennifer R. Rider, an expert cited by Psychologies.com, clarified the scope of the work: “Our results provide additional evidence of the beneficial role of frequent long-term ejaculation in the prevention of prostate cancer.”
Researchers emphasize the study demonstrates a statistical association, not definitive proof of a causal link. While the large sample size and extended monitoring period strengthen the signal, further investigation is needed to understand the underlying biological mechanisms.
The figure of 21 times per month is presented as an “indicative mark,” not a medical prescription or performance target. The study highlights that regular sexual activity, whether with a partner or through masturbation, is linked to reduced stress, improved sleep, and better hormonal balance – all contributing to overall health and a stronger immune system.
The research also notes no reported side effects associated with frequent ejaculation. experts stress that this potential benefit should complement, not replace, established prostate cancer prevention methods like rectal exams and PSA testing.the study suggests viewing sexual function as an integral component of male health, advocating for regularity over time as a key factor in potential natural protection.
