Does sex prevent prostate cancer?

 
The major risk factor for prostate cancer appears to be genetic. If you have a particular sort of gene, you are at higher risk to develop prostate cancer. If you develop a particular mutation of a gene, you are at higher risk of prostate cancer. The point is that even if you have the “high-risk” gene, you may still not develop cancer. The gene only predisposes you to prostate cancer. Many other factors may influence prostate cancer. It is still unknown what all these factors are. Smoking, diet rich in red meat, infection and inflammation of the prostate, and exposure to certain chemicals are some of the factors being researched. While there have been some studies showing a linkage between higher frequency of sex and lower incidence of prostate cancer, there is no direct cause-effect relationship between the two. As I explained earlier, there are _many factors_ that affect prostate cancer.
