"Masturbation helps 'prevent' prostate cancer"

Having had a prostate infection myself, from 6 months of no orgasms. I believe what they say about Masterbation and prostate health. After 6 months my prostate had swollen to the size of a tennis ball. Contrary to popular belief, the prostate does not absorb fluids faster than it produces them. Nor is it self cleaning. The body will usually expell fluids with wet dreams, but this is not always the case, especially as you age. Personally, I do not want to Masterbate at all anymore, but I will cycle out the fluids as needed. The problem is not masterbation. Its the excess and addictive nature of unlimited masterbation...Porn, self gratification, objectification, etc...

Also, I do feel that a healthy diet and exercise is very important in preventing any type of cancer.

 

I do not think abstaining from masturbation completely is healthy if you cant get the real deal. It appears that once every 7...10 days is optimal if you look at the hormone responce.

Of course the long term goal should not be living like a munk but instead living a good life with a partner.

 

I'm 64 and I have not faped since March 26 and my prostate is fine. I have only had one wet dream in my life and I was 13 or 14.

 

I'm inclined to believe that all discomforts, diseases and ailments in the body are ALL due to suppressed emotional reasons. As human beings, we are a soul. The body is just a cloak. Underneath this cloak, we have something much more important and precious, which is a soul. Our soul is where our emotions, memories, desires and passions are etc... Our individual soul condition is what effects our overall health.

There are people who have been doing NoFap for over two years and have been absolutely fine. Disease and ailments come from the individual soul condition, they do not come from the body.

So, I can assure you that you do not need to even masturbate, under any circumstance... The idea is to just work on ourselves and make sure our emotional injuries or suppressed emotions are dealt with.

Most of us don't even know ourselves, so it's impossible for a lot us to even identify a lot of our emotional injuries in the first place. It's about getting to know our own soul.

 

I'll bet the infection and the fap abstinence are unrelated. Once you got the infection I can see why the prostate might need to be emptied by massage or fap or something

 

Im about 80% sure the infection was related to the abstainence. Now, because I had fapped almost daily for 20 years and then just stopped, it might have been simply because my body had not yet developed a proper immune response in that area...

Most of the younger long term abstainers on here report wet dreams every 2-3 weeks so thats what Im aiming for...fapping once every 2-3 weeks.

 

35

Now scientists are saying the highest risk of prostate cancer come from men in there 20's and 30's who masterbate frequently, and is lowest in men in their 50's who masterbate frequently. Lol i think that means I can expect prostate cancer.

What do you mean with hormone responce?

 

Testosterone peaks 7-8 days after a orgasm then slowely begins to decline.

But this only refers to free testosterone. Bound and Total T continues to very slowly increase even after 10 days.

 

That is very interesting, so does that mean nofap during long peroids is good if you are building muscles?

 

Yes. Free T is an androgen. Bound T is Anabolic. Think anabolic steroids.

I went looking for info on monks and prostate cancer. The rate is about 25% of normal populaton. What do all the abstaining monks have in common? They eat very little meat. Meat is linked to high T and high T is linked to prostate cancer. So, maybe one of the requirements of abstainence is vegitarianism?? This maybe where I went wrong. I eat a lot of meat!

 

But i doubt cutting down with meat and having low testodterone is a viable alternative as a muscle builder, however not all meat is the same either.

 

So, is good to expelling? 8 days and I don't have any wet dream. This topic allways makes me think...

 

Thats what I am thinking! I figure it might take years to quit for good. Ive been reading up on medicinal plants like saw palmento that seems to help the prostate.

 

It makes sense that it can. I disagree with your statement that one bad thing can be the prevention for another. Masterbation isn't unhealthy. Our issue is that we've turned it into an addiction probably because it's a good coping mechanism for other problems. Our practices went from being normal and healthy...to over used...to unhealthy. It's prime example of too much of a good thing being bad. Unfortunately our only option is to increase our risk (slightly or significantly, who knows) of prostate cancer in order to fix what we've done to ourselves.

 

Once every two weeks is where Im at now. Big change from twice a day. Tomarrow is my fap day. Im really not looking forward to the following two days of feeling like crap!
