There haven't been any studies to conclusively prove that this is the case but some correlation shows that nocturnal emmisions are lower in men who masturbate more.
Probably more than likely this guy would have nutted in his sleep during that month of no fap.
That citation abstract very clearly says "could link" prostate cancer and biological processes and "may lower" prostate cancer risk, it's definitely not as clear cut as you're making it sound. The paper itself isn't even confident about the statements it's making
If it causes you to miss work or if you’re unable to wait until you get home and end up doing it somewhere its not acceptable, then its an issue.
I remember a story about some low level politician pulling off into the parking lot of a preschool to rub one out. That probably would be a good example of this.
Is there an actual specific reasonable interval or does it vary person to person (of course putting aside any specific issues like muscle injury in the area for an example)
It does vary from person to person. Whats reasonable for you may not be reasonable for others. Libido as well as age is gonna be a factor. Some people do it multiple times a day and others are a couple times a week.
Again as long as its not hurting you or others, go for it man. Like others in this thread mentioned, in moderation, its a healthy thing to do.
I'm not taking a side, but unless there's some new evidence, virtually every study I've seen is filled with little to no evidence this is true and sums up with something to the effect of 'results uncertain, more research needed'.
Masturbating is good for you. Stop self harming.

Literally prostate cancer research determines a 20% decrease in risk when ejaculating 21 times a month.
This isn't 2016 anymore when the research was still going on.

satire?
Nah it's good for prostate health to masturbate at reasonable intervals
I'm glad you mentioned reasonable levels because like with anything, it can be harmful if done too often.
How often is too often?
When dust comes out, it's time to stop
No, keep pushing forward. No pain no gain
My ejaculate is vapor now. It feels amazing.
Attaman
Great question.
Essentially if its not interfering with your life in a meaningful way, you're fine.
If it causes you to miss work or if you're unable to wait until you get home and end up doing it somewhere its not acceptable, then its an issue.
Or not being able to stop or reduce the frequency can also mean its an issue.
However, rather than listen to some nobody in the internet, you'd want to consult a medical professional.
Sounds like im good
Worst case, get a D-lock

Are you numb, bleeding, sore or neglecting other activities like friends, family or your job?
You're probably fine. Whole area's kinda built to do that pretty regularly. So same rules as exercise.
21 times a month should be good enough.
More shouldn't be a problem either, since once every day reduces the chance of prostate cancer by 36%
If you have to ask, it's too often.
Every time you jerk off jesus weeps.
If that's what gets you off, I don't kink shame… just enjoy in moderation, there is only so much lubrication tears can provide…
People who worry about other people’s masturbation habits concern me.
You know there's such a thing as curiosity. Just because they asked doesn't mean they masturbate often, or at all for that matter.
Oh no

What intervals, exactly?
I find the morning and evening commute to be the ideal time.
That's the beauty of public transport
please don't be that person on the bus ;-;
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I crank my hog on company time

Good advice. Doing more research right now! ;-)
That was back in 2016 the case, but not anymore:
