Yes Fap?

Yes Fap?

(Normalizing sex addiction)

I read with extreme interest this alleged scientific study saying men should masturbate at least 21 days a month to avoid prostate cancer.

I can't believe what I read, especially since one very popular doctor vlogger posted something to the effect that he is endorsing such a practice.

What man would want to have prostate cancer later in life? But 21 days a month, with only 9 to 10 days of pause? I can only react with 21 exclamation points.

From what I know, young guys who practice what used to be regarded as a dirty deed do it from once a week to maybe twice a month if busy. Only those very few who are addicted do it regularly without fail once a day, or incredibly enough, even more than that.

With the alleged research finding, we are practically endorsing a culture of masturbation all the more in the name science, as though our Westernized culture and society is not yet supersaturated with sex. It's like saying it's only natural but to give in, preferably each time, and even healthier if more. We are also, in effect, promoting a culture of wanton disregard for the virtues of chastity and purity and self-control.

Appalled at what this means in terms of committing mortal sin 21 times a month, and reduced to incredulity at the mere prospect of doctor-recommended requirement of, er, draining oneself dry towards good prostate health, I tried to access the so-called study and found that it doesn't even point to causation: i.e., not beating yourself up does not necessarily mean absolutely preparing yourself to develop cancer in the prostate. It even qualifies the finding by saying the research method may have missed other potential factors involved. The finding merely connected the dots in terms of correlation, meaning unbelievably frequent masturbators tend to fail to develop the disease, but it doesn't mean there is some cleansing mechanism involved with regular release.

This study appallingly reverses gains by the "No Fap" (zero masturbation, zero porn) movement, something which I have been promoting to anyone willing to hear (so far, I have successfully convinced a grand total of one guy to at least try the lifestyle, but sadly he reverted to old habits).

If the finding is true, then the study should examine all the elderly monks, priests, and bishops who actually practice what they preach if indeed all of them are now suffering from prostate cancer. Or a longitudinal and follow-up study of all the no-fap guys actively posting their experience on YouTube. And another study investigating whether all of those who had prostate cancer had a habit of religiously avoiding masturbation or sex in general. Let's see whether they have eventually developed abnormal growth in their prostrate after years of virtue.
