In the ever-evolving world of health and wellness, controversial influencer Shadaya Knight has stirred the pot by championing a unique approach to prostate cancer prevention: he encourages men to embrace self-pleasure, specifically through m@sturbation.
This call to action was originally sparked by a spirited debate initiated by a female parliamentarian, who highlighted the potential benefits of regular ejaculation in lowering men’s risk of developing prostate cancer.
Knight’s proclamation resonated with many when he quipped, “Gentlemen, take matters into your own hands to significantly reduce your chances of prostate cancer!” His response came after a follower expressed concern about men who find themselves without s3xual partners. With a cheeky retort, Knight suggested, “Why not your own hands?”
What transpired from this interaction was not just a light-hearted exchange but a serious conversation around men’s health. The parliamentarian’s assertion that regular s3xual activity can help mitigate the risk of prostate cancer aligns with findings from numerous medical studies. Research from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) indicates that men who ejaculate at least 21 times a month may experience a significantly reduced risk of prostate cancer compared to those who do so less frequently.

Some may wonder, “What’s the magic number?” While there isn’t a definitive answer, evidence suggests that higher ejaculation frequency correlates with lower cancer risk. For instance, a 2003 study published in the British Journal of Urology (BJU) found that men in their 20s who ejaculated more than five times weekly had a notably decreased risk of prostate cancer later in life.
This pattern continued in subsequent studies, which consistently indicated that men who prioritize regular ejaculation, whatever the method, may enjoy better prostate health.
But why should men consider their own pleasure as a valid form of ejaculation? The advantages go beyond just cancer prevention. Satisfying oneself can lead to improved s3xual health, reduced stress levels, and enhanced mood, thanks to the endorphins released during orgasm. As men explore their bodies and understand their own preferences, they may also find increased confidence in intimate relationships, whether with partners or through solo exploration.
Importantly, this conversation emphasizes the significance of prioritizing health. Men over 40 are encouraged to maintain regular medical check-ups and discuss any concerns regarding prostate health with their healthcare providers.
By engaging in dialogue, whether publicly or privately, about intimate health, men can dismantle stigma and enhance their understanding of body awareness and self-care.
