A nonprofit organization called FCancer has launched a campaign encouraging men to ejaculate more as a way to support prostate health. The campaign is based on research suggesting that higher ejaculation frequency may be associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer.
According to long-term studies involving more than 50,000 men, those who ejaculated at least 21 times per month had about a 19–22% lower risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those who ejaculated less frequently. Researchers note that 21 times per month is not a strict requirement, but the overall trend suggests that men who ejaculate more may experience greater potential benefits.
Experts believe there are several possible explanations for this link. Frequent ejaculation may help clear harmful substances from the prostate, reduce inflammation, or influence how certain genes behave in prostate tissue. However, the exact biological reasons are still being studied.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men in the United States and a leading cause of cancer-related death. Because of this, health professionals emphasize the importance of regular screenings, understanding personal risk factors, and consulting with a doctor.
While the campaign uses humor to attract attention, its main goal is to encourage awareness and proactive health behavior. The message is that while it may be beneficial to ejaculate more, this should be combined with proper medical care, including routine checkups and discussions with healthcare providers.
