"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."
The "bathing" of androgens in the prostate results from an over-sexualized culture; a culture obsessed with sex. Everywhere these young men (and old) turn they are bombarded with sexual images and women walking around in their little sister's clothes. So it's not just the pornography which is causing prostate cancer but the entire western culture dynamic.
The prostate contains an alkaline liquid which mixes with a man's sperm upon ejaculation to assist the sperm in it's attempt to reach the woman's egg. The prostate and liquid also provide the pleasure associated with sex. When a man is turned on (aroused) sexually the prostate kicks into gear and gets an androgen bath in anticipation of the "event". When the event doesn't happen the prostate is left hanging, so to speak. Unless the prostate gets a regular purging by ejaculation the result is often the accumulation of cancer cells leading to prostate cancer.
So the study shows that the frequency of arousal in today's culture is leading to increased rates of prostate cancer. Masturbation, the study shows, gives the required purging and reduces cancer risks as men get older. However it could probably be argued that choosing one's environment, what we watch on television, who we associate with and where we allow our imagination to go can also go a long way in keeping our prostate healthy well into our old age guys.
