Does pinching or squeezing your nipples increase the rate of breast cancer in both men and women ?

I want to know if this is true, because even though statics say that the chances of men getting breast cancer is slim, it does not justify what life styles were present in those males who had breast cancer. Is it possible that because their nipples were squeezed or pinched it elevated their risk of getting breast cancer? Are there any publications that describe this issue? This could be a serious issue if true, because sexual foreplay of the nipples is somewhat common in many sexual relationships. If sexual manipulation of the nipples elevates the risk of getting breast cancer, then breast cancer could become a dangerous epidemic in the future. But the issue is minuscule for men compared to women, because women have higher rates of contracting breast cancer.

mr fusio- So far, there are no valid reports of nipple squeezing or pinching increasing or causing breast cancer in men and women. Nipple injuries include bite wounds (common) and bruises and contusions (common). Nipple clamps and rings can cause inflammation, infection, and possible scarring.

No it doesn't. Cancer is not caused by physical injury or trauma.

Breast cancer, like all other cancers, happens when normal cells change so that they grow in an uncontrolled way. This uncontrolled growth causes a tumour to form. Pinching, squeezing, punching, biting etc will not cause this process to start.

Here are a couple of links to articles about breast cancer myths, including this one

Men account for fewer than 1% of those diagnosed with breast cancer.

"Lifestyle" probably refers more to drug use or smoking. I don't think there is any link between pinching nipples and breast cancer.

Lol! i dont think so xD

i have never heard of such a thing and if it is true were all screwed
