Masturbation may prevent prostate cancer

[Richard]

SUMMARY: Researchers find that men who masturbate frequently are at a reduced risk of cancer.

Frequent masturbation may help men cut their risk of contracting prostate cancer, Australian researchers have found. It is believed that carcinogens may build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly, BBC News reported on Wednesday. The researchers surveyed more than 1,000 men who had developed prostate cancer, and 1,250 men who had not. They found that men who had ejaculated the most between the ages of 20 and 50 were the least likely to get cancer. Men who ejaculated more than five times each week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer.

Sexual intercourse may not have the same effect because of the higher risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, which could in turn raise the risk of cancer. "Had we been able to remove ejaculations associated with sexual intercourse, there should have been an even stronger protective effect of ejaculations," Graham Giles of the Cancer Council Victoria, who led the researchers, said in the article.

The prostate produces a fluid that is incorporated into ejaculation, which activates sperm and prevents them from sticking together. Studies on animals have shown that carcinogens like 3-methylchloranthrene can be harbored in the prostate. Frequent ejaculation encourages the cancer-inducing fluids to "flush out."

I first heard this story on The Daily Show and what cracked me up is Jon said it’s a wonder that some men do get prostate cancer. icon_lol 

[Sily]

So I said to husband last night, "I found a way to prevent prostate cancer."

And he says... "Oh really?"

Then I says... "The only problem is you're going to go blind and grow hair on your palms."

So then husband tells me this joke:

A father finds his son behind the barn jerking off.  The father says to his son, "Son, if you keep doing that, you are going to go blind".

A week later, the father finds his son again behind the barn jerking off.  He says, "Son, I am serious........ if you keep doing that you are going to GO BLIND."

Son looks at father and says.... "Can I do it, just till I need glasses?"


:D

And what do scientists say about women who masturbate ?

80% less migraine or so ? icon_stumm

Nope, that will ruin Pharmaceutical industries.

So, what's is the agenda with this prostrate article ?:

I think it is to stimulate men to give sexual energies with less guilt feelings while not being protected with all their electronic devices in their homes which will collect the energies for the astral plane.

I tend to agree Octahedron.
