Middle-aged virgin men have half the risk of getting prostate cancer when compared to men who are sexually active, a new study has suggested.

Researchers found that men who had never experienced sexual intercourse were 47 per cent less likely to develop the disease. As part of the study, scientists compiled data from 220,000 men aged between 40 and 69.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the UK, with one in eight being diagnosed in their lifetime. However that likelihood drops to almost one in 16 for virgins, according to the study carried out by Oxford University researchers.

Professor Tim Key told The Sun: "Low testosterone levels is a possible explanation. We know it is a protective factor against prostate cancer. And as it is a sex hormone, it may explain why these men are less interested in sex." Others have suggested "Infections passed during sex could raise prostate cancer risk, but there's little evidence to support this conclusion."
