In that moment when the searchlight shifts to men’s health, what is almost top of the topic is how this gender when he reaches the age of 30, can avoid prostate cancer in the long run. A Nigerian talk show expert back in the year second month thought exercising through frequent sexual intercourse like 21 times in a month is the sure way to go for the best prostate health, but in Ghana, a therapist says men should become minimalists in their sex life.

I keep telling men that too much of everything is bad and you know as a man If you ejaculate, it contains 400 million cells. So if a man just walks into a room with a lady right now and then they have sexual intercourse, that man is bringing out 400 million cells. Now, if the [prostate gland] is overused, the possibility that it will cause prostate cancer is high.

A Ghanaian female therapist Dr. Charity Twumasi Ankrah, while speaking as a guest on her country’s local broadcast station Joy Prime in November 2022, proposed that men cut down their sexual appetite to save themselves. Taking action isn’t limited to men’s relationships with women alone but also with themselves.

While taking a question from the amused host, Dr Ankrah widened the net of men at risk of prostate cancer to cover those who masturbate. She was thinking all actions that enable ejaculation, which is akin to releasing several pints of blood, can be draining for the man’s gland. Possibly, patients with prostate cancer infection can be in their early twenties based on the diagnosis the on-air expert had made.

Speaking on a radio station in Lagos, a physician Dr Rasheed Adedapo, who is chief medical officer and founder of Heritage Men’s Clinic, had a theory for the young and middle-aged bracket of men that encouraged having multiple partners just to get one over prostate cancer.

It was on Classic FM’s The Discourse back in February that Dr Adedapo shared this opinion. For men to reach his recommendation of having sex 21 times in 30 days, the expert did not have contractual agreements with willing women to get to the mark.

Most certainly, men who already stumbled upon the proposed hack to enhance their prostate health may feel ruined if they do not have partners or wives who share their enthusiasm for bedroom action, so those are free to roam like they weren’t hitched in the first place according to the programme.

The result of taking this radio advice to heart expectedly had to create sides. One line shows men readying their promiscuity gear and the other shows widespread womenfolk rebuke.

If she doesn’t please you, I advocate to my patients that you can have a side chick, says the chief medical officer. The side chick could be on contract, he adds but you just know that you need to do your 21 times to avoid prostate cancer.

This was a comment that dutiful but sometimes tired wives wanted their men not to be getting into their heads through the radio.

Most likely women will prefer the minimalist approach on the Ghana side of West Africa earlier proposed by someone of their own gender Dr Ankrah. She had said what we are saying is that at least in a week, do [twice a] week. It’s okay. Don’t kill yourselves.

An argument negates the idea of men trying a lot of action to protect against cancer of the prostate.

It is the fact that benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP), an ailment that could lead to cancer is the scare that men should be having first before taking to excess sex.

There are treatments for BHP, which include behavioural change or surgery. What this sort of means is that the dramatic fuss among men about their prostate health deteriorating, or their plans for an excessive meeting of organs with partners, are pretty much avoidable because there is no need.
