Obviously I don't consider it hype, but I am one of those people who exercised a lot before being diagnosed, but got CRC anyway. And I've been exercising a lot post-dx, and that didn't stop me from getting a couple of recurrences. So it's obviously not blanket protection from this disease. But I don't think it's just a distraction, either. Exercise promotes good health (mental and physical), and in my view, the healthier you are, other than the CRC, the better you'll be able to tolerate surgery, chemo, etc. While you might argue that exercise hasn't helped me fight this disease, I think it has contributed to keeping me alive longer than I otherwise would have.
I view this article as just another way of promoting a healthy lifestyle through exercise. The CRC angle is just that--an angle. But I don't see anything wrong with that.
As to any connection to sexual activity, my only observation is that it's a lot harder to get laid when you have cancer, so probably best to get as much as you can before you get dx. Similar in that respect to exercise, in fact.
