More Sex, More Risk
Previously, we had a topic that masturbation may help prevent you from having prostate cancer. Well here's the bad news. Too much sex may actually heighten the risk of you getting prostate cancer. How about that for irony? Just shows that too much of a good thing can be bad too.
Those who were most active while younger had more chance of developing cancer later in life. It affects the prostate gland, which is found close to the bladder and makes a component of semen.
Roughly the same proportion of both groups, 59%, said they had engaged in sexual activity 12 times a month or more in their 20s, falling to 48% in their 30s, 28% in their 40s and 13% in their 50s.
Almost two-fifths of the prostate cancer group had had six female partners or more, compared with less than a third of the non-cancer group.
Frequency risk
There was also a difference among the men who masturbated or had sex the most often, with 40% of men in the cancer group being sexually active 20 times a month or more in their 20s, compared with 32% in the non-cancer group.
The gap between the two groups narrowed as the men aged, suggesting that the difference was strongest at a younger age.

Sex when excessive is also dangerous to one's health. It already becomes a disorder.
Anything excessive is dangerous. More sex is risky because it can also be an disorder already.
I have been happily married for 10 year. However, two years ago I had surgery to remove prostate cancer. How could I know if I had gotten prostate cancer from too much sexual activity? And am I at a higher risk of getting prostate cancer again, if I continue with the same amount of sexual activity?
