and direct prostate stimulation?

I've not read the paper to which this story links, but I think you're right.
It oughtn't to be surprising: testosterone has something to do with prostate cancer; it also has something to do with sex drive; therefore there's a correlation. Yah boo. It's a non-story.
Incidentally, most men over 50 have prostate cancer, and most men die with it. They don't die of it, though, and increasingly (and rightly) it's not treated unless it generates a problem. Most of the time, it's a matter of complete indifference.

My dad gets treatment for it but there doesn't seem to be much panic as such - certainly not from him anyway. I guess the Docs are, like you say, being quite laid back about it?
