    e621. The site for which you came for the porn but stayed for the comments.

    This site I'm pretty sure has brought me more "d'aww!", lol, and educational moments (combined) than faps. For a site that's mostly for porn this site has a great community for the most part.

    Yeah, not really. Several studies show the opposite and there's nothing showing masturbation actually causes that decrease, only that people who masturbate often get it less (according to that one study). And theres many bad things about masturbation that counteracts it anyways..

    Yup, honestly it seems mostly just to be the type of thing coomers like to post around because it gives them a reason to pretend that constantly jerking off is a good thing, somehow lol. Like you said, even if it does have some sort of marginal effect on prostate cancer, frequent masturbation is something you can be a hell of a lot worse-off with. being a coomer is bad 4 u, k?

    Do you have any references for that? A quick Google search seems to back up the idea, e.g.

    The only references I've seen suggesting otherwise tend to fall in the spirituality/woo/quack category.

    The proof for it decreasing the risk of prostate cancer is basically a phone survey (it also included wet dreams, which are different) which never looked into what else they could be doing that might be decreasing their risk of cancer. It could just be that those who jack off are less likely to do other cancer-causing activities, and it also only decreased the risk of some types of prostate cancer. And I think there were some newer studies saying that masturbation increases the risk of cancer.
    Also masturbation usually decreases energy, but there are no real studies on that.

    It's fine to say that you don't put much stock into the study methods, and that there may be some confounding factors. I found a better article that gives a more balanced perspective. That's a far cry from the study being "bad and untrustworthy," however.

    As for masturbation increasing the risk, I found this study. Here is the salient quote:

    Results: Whereas frequent overall sexual activity in younger life (20s) increased the disease risk, it appeared to be protective against the disease when older (50s). Alone, frequent masturbation activity was a marker for increased risk in the 20s and 30s but appeared to be associated with a decreased risk in the 50s, while intercourse activity alone was not associated with the disease.

    However... note that this also appears to be a "phone survey" study, and that the number of subjects involved (a bit over 800) is dwarfed by the Harvard study (almost 32K). Do you have any references distinct from this one?

    It's quite likely that the idea of masturbation reducing the risk of prostate cancer has been overstated because people quite like the idea---not unlike people thinking that a mega-dose of vitamin C will protect them from getting a cold. As with many other questions in the medical field, more study is needed. But of what meager evidence we currently have, it seems more likely that masturbation is potentially protective, or at worse neutral, than being harmful in a meaningful way.

    (And by all rights, if there were any kind of hard scientific evidence that masturbation is bad for one's health, I'd expect the usual suspects to trumpet it to high heaven. Much as they've done in other areas)
