Daddy Freeze Sparks Debate After Claiming Men Must Ejaculate 21 Times Monthly to Reduce Prostate Cancer Risk
Popular media personality Ifedayo Olarinde, widely known as Daddy Freeze, has ignited controversy after stating that men must ejaculate at least 21 times a month to lower their risk of developing prostate cancer.
The veteran radio host made the claim during a recent livestream with Caterefe, asserting that men who do not meet this threshold could be exposing themselves to potential prostate health risks.
“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 prostate cancer,” Daddy Freeze said.
The clip quickly went viral, triggering a heated debate on social media. Many users challenged the accuracy of his claim, describing it as misleading and medically unfounded.
Below are some reactions from social media users:

“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 added:
“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.”
While the discussion continues, health experts generally emphasize that prostate cancer risk is influenced by multiple factors, including genetics, age, lifestyle, and regular medical screening—not just ejaculation frequency.
