Snippet from the article:
Men who are very sexually active in their twenties and thirties are more likely to develop prostate cancer, especially if they masturbate frequently, according to a study of more than 800 men.
However the UK research team also found that frequent sexual activity in a man’s forties appears to have little effect and even small levels of activity in a man’s fifties could offer protection from the disease. Most of the differences were attributed to masturbation rather than sexual intercourse.

Well, all I can say to that is… man, I’m in trouble! Now, cue the hundred “this somehow proves hair loss and masturbation are linked” emails….

lmao!
How can there be a difference between intercourse and masturbation? I don’t see how the body could tell the difference. An orgasm and ejaculation is the same regardlesss of the stimulus.
Can somebody please explain.
I wonder if the scientists’ comment on the following previous study in their paper…
