Do it for your health. Ejaculation frequency and prostate cancer
The scientists found no evidence that frequent ejaculations mark an increased risk of prostate cancer. In fact, the reverse was true: High ejaculation frequency was linked to a decreased risk. Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer. And the results held up to rigorous statistical evaluation even after other lifestyle factors and the frequency of PSA testing were taken into account.

There has been folklore in the gay community for decades that prostate issues & cancer are related to not ejaculating regulating. Interesting research.

Note that there are other ways to achieve ejaculation besides masturbating 😎
