Greetings @med-hive thank you very much for such kind words. I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you @ecency for the points, happy.

Regarding the question:

Does frequent or no sexual activity reduce or increase the risk of prostate cancer?

It is very interesting and I express the following considerations to you:

-Bearing in mind the relationship of the prostate with sexual activity, in the search for factors that may contribute to the prevention of prostate cancer; sexual behavior has been studied.
In this regard, scientific research has been conducted, of them there is a 2016 study, published in a widely accepted scientific journal European Association of Urology:

Ejaculation Frequency and Risk of Prostate Cancer: Updated Results with an Additional Decade of Follow-up. Rider y cols.

The study included 31925 men who answered questions about ejaculation frequency in a questionnaire in 1992 and continued until 2010. The evidence suggests that ejaculatory frequency may be inversely related to prostate cancer risk. It concludes by expressing the benefit of ejaculation in the prevention of prostate cancer.

My opinion:
-Studies conducted have been based on surveys, where respondent-dependent false answers may be generated.
-Other factors such as physical activity, diet, etc. should be considered.
-Research should continue to obtain more conclusive results.
-However, sexual activity (ejaculatory activity) through intercourse or masturbation is usually beneficial and favorable for men.
