I'd be fascinated to see all the medical data of men who suddenly developed prostate cancer in December because they didn't wank in November.

It's same data of men who suddenly develop lung cancer after their first month of smoking. Doesn't mean it won't come back and bite you in the long term.

"In all, men who averaged 4.6–7 ejaculations a week were 36% less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 70 than men who ejaculated less than 2.3 times a week on average."

- a havard article, based on an australian study.

Fucking dress me up in blue and yellow spandex because I’m going to be invincible.

Note the word averaged. Given this quote (I'm not sure if the study gets more specific), you could just wank a bit more the other months.
