Polygamy: A Secret Weapon Against Prostate Cancer?

“Now here’s a question worth exploring: Is polygamy the answer to reducing prostate cancer risks? It might sound surprising, but there’s research to back it up.”

Last week, I visited England for my regular medical check-up. During the session, the doctor mentioned something shocking: a significant rise in the number of Nigerian men diagnosed with prostate enlargement at their hospital. She revealed that, out of every 10 Nigerians she examined, eight had this condition. Her words left me stunned.

When the nurse took my blood sample, the doctor told me to return in two days for the results. Those two days felt like an eternity. I lost my appetite, couldn’t sleep, and wrestled with endless fears. While an enlarged prostate isn’t a death sentence, the uncertainty of whether it might be cancer was terrifying.

By the time I went back to get my results, I had already prepared for the worst. I even called my children to discuss what to do if my diagnosis turned out bad.

As I sat in the doctor’s office, my heart pounded. Then, she smiled and said: “Congratulations! Your prostate is within the healthy range for your age.” It felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. Suddenly, I was starving, ready to eat, and excited about life again.

This experience taught me something valuable: health is wealth.

The Polygamy Angle: Does It Protect Against Prostate Cancer?

Now here’s a question worth exploring: Is polygamy the answer to reducing prostate cancer risks? It might sound surprising, but there’s research to back it up.

Globally, men are naturally polygamous. It’s why so many men struggle with monogamy—our biological wiring supports a stronger sexual drive than women. Interestingly, countries where polygamy is common, like in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), have significantly lower prostate cancer rates than regions where monogamy dominates.

The Facts Speak For Themselves

In the MENA region, the risk of developing prostate cancer is only seven per cent for Asian men, compared to 12 per cent for White men and 27 per cent for Black men. These regions also report lower levels of prostate-specific antigens, key indicators of prostate issues.

What’s The Connection?

Islam, a major religion in the MENA region, supports polygamy. Research suggests that regular ejaculation, a natural part of a healthy sexual life, reduces the risk of prostate cancer. Faithful polygamous relationships ensure consistent intimacy, unlike promiscuity, which increases the risk of STIs that can harm prostate health.

Monogamy Isn’t Hopeless

If you’re monogamous, don’t worry—there are still ways to lower your prostate cancer risk. Here are a few key tips for a healthier marriage and life:

Marry Smart: Avoid marrying someone your age or older if you’re a man with a strong libido. Women typically experience a drop in libido after menopause, while men retain theirs well into their 80s or 90s. A healthy age gap in marriage can help maintain intimacy.

Stay Active: Regular physical activity, a healthy diet and frequent check-ups are essential for prostate health.

Let’s Talk Faith: Is God Against Polygamy?

Some may argue that polygamy is unbiblical, but history suggests otherwise. Major biblical figures like David and Solomon were polygamous and maintained strong relationships with God. Even Jesus did not condemn polygamy during His time on earth.

The concept of dividing the Bible into the “Old” and “New Testament” didn’t come from God—it was a human invention. What God disapproves of is premarital and extramarital relationships, not polygamy.

The Takeaway

Prostate health is crucial and, while polygamy might have its benefits, it’s not a free pass for everyone. What matters most is understanding your body, staying faithful in your relationships, and taking proactive steps for your health. After all, life is precious and health, truly, is wealth.
