Masturbating is good for you. Stop self harming.

There haven't been any studies to conclusively prove that this is the case but some correlation shows that nocturnal emmisions are lower in men who masturbate more. Probably more than likely this guy would have nutted in his sleep during that month of no fap.

Literally prostate cancer research determines a 20% decrease in risk when ejaculating 21 times a month.

This isn't 2016 anymore when the research was still going on.

That citation abstract very clearly says "could link" prostate cancer and biological processes and "may lower" prostate cancer risk, it's definitely not as clear cut as you're making it sound. The paper itself isn't even confident about the statements it's making
