‘Increased Sexual Activity Lowers Cancer Risk For Women’ -Nigerian Doctor, Rasheed Abassi
A Nigerian doctor, Dr. Rasheed Abassi, has stirred a widespread debate following the comments he made on TVC’s programme ‘Your View’, where he recommended increased sexual activity for women as a way to reduce the risk of breast cancer.
During the show, the medical practitioner also advised men to consider polygamy, citing its potential health benefits, including a lower risk of prostate cancer.
According to Dr. Abassi,
“Women need to have more sex to reduce breast cancer risk. When a woman reaches orgasm, she releases oxytocin, which lowers her chances of developing cancer.”
Addressing men’s health, Dr. Abassi claimed that polygamy could improve longevity and reduce prostate issues. In his words:
“Men with two to three wives live longer than men with one wife. If your son is not getting rid of his DHT (dihydrotestosterone), he is likely to develop an enlarged prostate.”

He also linked the absence of regular erections to potential cardiac problems. He further stated:
“Any man not waking with a full erection already has cardiac issues. My oldest patient is 92 years old and has a four-year-old daughter — and that’s DNA-proven.”
When asked about the risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) associated with increased sexual activity, Dr. Abassi emphasised the importance of safe practices.
“The condom is not 100% protective, but we still advise it. Awareness is key,” he said.
He also noted that some men cite the cost of contraceptives as a challenge, comparing it to the financial costs of engaging in s*xual activities.
