>In women, breast cancer has a similar death toll, but the breasts have an excuse: they’re much bigger; there are many more cells to go bad. They’re also much more metabolically active, capable of producing enough milk to feed a baby; the prostate’s output is tiny in comparison.
Except that you make work your prostate everyday, multiple times, since your adolescence, whereas a woman doesn't breastfeed everyday since adolescence.
Interestingly, daily masturbation appears to have a protective effect against developing prostate cancer, although no one knows why: https://www.webmd.com/prostate-cancer/ejaculation-prostate-c...
From your own link:
> There’s no proof that ejaculating more actually lowers the chances of prostate cancer. For now, doctors just know they’re connected. It may be that men who do it more tend to have other healthy habits that are lowering their odds.
> Ejaculation doesn’t seem to protect against the most deadly or advanced types of prostate cancer. Experts don’t know why.
I'm not the expert but, like all things, exercise, sleep and diet probably goes a long way.
