Popular media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, also known as Daddy Freeze, has claimed that men must ejaculate 21 times monthly to reduce prostate cancer risk.
The veteran radio host made the claim during a recent livestream with Caterefe.
“I won’t encourage masturbation, but if a man doesn’t ejaculate up to 21 times monthly, he could be setting himself up for possible prostrate cancer,” he claimed.
Daddy Freeze’s claim sparked a debate on social media after a clip from the interview went viral, with many refuting his claim.
Read some of the reactions below:
Pharm. Greatman wrote, “The claim that men must ejaculate 21 times a month to avoid prostate cancer is not true.
“There is no fixed number that guarantees protection. Some studies suggest that more frequent ejaculation may be linked to a slightly lower risk, but this is only an association, not a rule or treatment.”
Rhine_sto said, “Turning nuanced research into a numeric command is how misinformation spreads. There’re studies suggesting a correlation between frequent ejaculation and a lower risk of prostate cancer, but it’s not a medical prescription and 21 times a month is not a rule doctors give patients.”
Hunter_Guide1 commented, “Daddy Freeze said men should ejaculate 21+ times a month to lower prostate cancer risk, and he’s not totally wrong.
“A big 2016 Harvard study (32,000+ men) found guys who release that often had ~20-31% lower risk than those doing it only 4–7 times a month.
“It’s correlation, not a guarantee. Age, genes, family history, and lifestyle matter way more. Still, frequent release might help flush things out and reduce inflammation nice bonus if you’re already active. Real prevention: eat well, exercise, don’t smoke, get checked when it’s time.”
