Could someone corroborate that abstinence of sex is a risk factor to prostate cancer?

I remember reading that priests, monks etc showed a higher incidence of prostate cancer due to abstinence but I have not been able to find it again.

Could someone corroborate that abstinence of sex is a risk factor to prostate cancer?
This is one of those times where it doesn't pay to wait for all the evidence to be in. As long as ejaculation doesn't hurt you, keep doing it in the hopes that it may prevent bad things.
Reply:"Some investigators have suggested that sexual abstinence may contribute to prostate cancer risk, but there is no consistent evidence to support this contention despite multiple studies in the past 30 years"
