Does too much sex and masturbation cause prostate cancer or cell depletion?

Men in their 20s and 30s who have frequent sex or masturbate about 20 times a month might face a higher risk of prostate cancer later in life.

While looking into what causes this disease, a research team at the University of Nottingham found that testosterone—the hormone tied to a high libido—is a major factor. Essentially, the prostate converts testosterone into an even stronger androgen called DHT, which drives cell growth in the gland and might even fuel the development of malignant cells. They reached this conclusion by studying the habits of 800 men, split evenly between 400 healthy individuals and 400 those diagnosed with the disease. Researchers tracked sexual activity starting from puberty and recorded histories of STDs. About 59% were sexually active roughly 12 times a month during their 20s, 48% in their 30s, 28% in their 40s, and 13% in their 50s. On top of that, nearly half reported having six or more lifetime partners.

Looking at it biologically, chronic masturbation can mess with your brain and body chemistry because of the massive surge in sex hormones and neurotransmitters. Everyone reacts differently to overproduction, though. It could just be basic fatigue, or it could lead to pelvic pain, vision changes, lower back pain, testicular pain, or even hair loss. There’s actually ongoing research right now investigating whether increased testosterone levels drive up DHT production, which is linked to male pattern baldness.

Question: Anyone here experienced this? Does having lots of sex or masturbating actually make you go bald? And what's your general take on this info?

Also, we see cases where some women push men to have sex way more than a few times a week, wanting their partner to cater to them multiple times a day.

Hormonal imbalances aren't a pleasant thing for anyone. In men, we see an overproduction of testosterone, while women often deal with excess estrogen.
So, if someone claims their father and grandfather were both bald, does that mean they're destined for the same fate? I don't know the exact mechanism by which testosterone triggers hair loss, but it’s possible.
However, the reasoning behind why these hormones spike isn't quite right.
There's an observation that estrogen levels rise in women who aren't sexually active enough, suggesting illness stems from stagnant sexual energy.
Furthermore, you can't claim that people who avoid erotic provocation live longer or stay healthier than everyone else.

It is worth noting that the damage HPV causes in men is significantly greater, yet it doesn't get nearly as much attention as it does in women. We know this virus can advance toward the prostate, causing complications that are difficult to treat.

The surge of positive hormones and enzymes following good sex outweighs any subsequent negative changes. Besides, we’re all going to die of something eventually.

p.s. It would be wise for men with high testosterone levels to quit smoking.
A link has been noted between right-lung carcinoma and increased testosterone production. It might simply be a matter of certain genes being linked, where individuals carry both predispositions in one package.
God.

I know this one guy who's basically overdoing it in the bedroom (no clue how much he's jerking off, honestly 🤣) and he's already going bald at barely 30!🙏

cosmicwolf27 said:I know this one guy—and I'm not saying he's doing anything wrong, per se—but he seems to be incredibly preoccupied with sex... though, honestly, I have no idea if he’s just hyperactive or if his solo habits are just as intense.🤣And he’s already going bald—and he's only in his early 30s!🙏

Good grief... I mean, honestly—who is even in charge here anymore? It’s all just such a mess.🤷

Well, I suppose—if I'm being completely honest here—I find myself masturbating every single day, primarily because of this very thing.😁:

I recently came across an article regarding prostate cancer—an issue that, I suppose, carries far too much weight in our society to be ignored—and it really got me thinking about how we approach men's health in America. It seems like there is such a significant gap between the medical advancements we see in places like the Mayo Clinic and the actual, day-to-day awareness among the general public. The piece touched on how early detection is everything—it’s truly the cornerstone of survival—yet so many men seem to hesitate when it comes to screening. I guess it might be due to a certain level of discomfort or perhaps just a general reluctance to face potentially difficult news? It’s a complex psychological barrier, I think. We have all this incredible technology at our fingertips here in the States, yet the human element—the fear, the hesitation—remains the biggest hurdle. It makes one wonder if our healthcare system focuses enough on the proactive side of things rather than just reacting once symptoms actually manifest. Maybe we need a more empathetic way to talk about these issues—something less clinical and more personal—to encourage men to take these steps earlier. It’s a heavy subject, certainly, but one that requires a very earnest conversation if we want to see real improvements in long-term outcomes.

Honestly, can we please just make a decision already... are we going to go ahead with the solo session or what?😁

I’m having sex every single day and my hair has never looked thicker—all this at 36 years old...😁

If we actually listened to everything those geniuses from some prestigious Ivy League university claim, we would have probably gone extinct during the Stone Age 🤣

I heard once that guys who masturbate end up going blind 😳

Exactly, and even Živko Kustić mentioned during his morning sermon how masturbation is viewed as an evil act and a mortal sin. ☕

"Yes, within the Church, masturbation is considered an offense that can rise to the level of a mortal sin.

However, there is a distinction made where it isn't always classified as a mortal sin, because someone engaging in it might not fully grasp the gravity of the act. If they are acting without the intent of committing a sin, it isn't recorded as such."

I don't think there's any harm in doing some heavy lifting. Just a heads up though—don't go overboard and overstrain yourself, otherwise you might end up dealing with those nasty overuse injuries that require ice packs to manage 😁
