Masturbation can be good for the over-50s
Removal of toxins built up over a lifetime reduces the risk of prostate cancer
Masturbation may be good for you or bad, depending on your age. The solitary sexual activity that is widely practised but little discussed, is linked with an increased risk of prostate cancer when practised frequently by young men in their twenties and thirties, doctors say.
But by the time men reach their fifties, it may protect against the disease because it helps remove toxins that have built up over a lifetime.

"One theory is that during the early years the prostate gland is more susceptible to hormonal changes and is still developing. As men age and accumulate toxins from the diet or through their lungs , sexual activity may help release them. Studies have found toxins in the semen and the fluid produced in the prostate. As you age it is more important to flush them out."
