Lasted 41 days before I read an article about regular masturbation lowering one's chances of prostate cancer. Needless to say, I immediately resumed anti-cancer operations.

Actually, it appears that masturbation increases risk for prostate cancer for men in your age range. So there, now you have to stop masturbating.

...although you could probably find plenty of modern studies making opposing assertions. Since current studies are so inconclusive, the best course of action is to take the neutral stance - stop masturbating. 

Your welcome.

From the article:

"They suggest that young men genetically predisposed to have hormone-sensitive prostate cancer will be at higher risk if their bodies naturally produce high levels of male hormones -- the same hormones that give them an intense sex drive.

So it's not masturbation itself that's increasing prostate cancer risk in young men. More masturbation may just mean more sex drive -- and more androgens bathing prostate tissues."
