Masturbation 'cuts cancer risk'

Men could reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer through regular masturbation, researchers suggest. They say cancer-causing chemicals could build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly.And they say sexual intercourse may not have the same protective effect because of the possibility of contracting a sexually transmitted infection, which could increase men's cancer risk. Australian researchers questioned over 1,000 men who had developed prostate cancer and 1,250 who had not about their sexual habits. They found those who had ejaculated the most between the ages of 20 and 50 were the least likely to develop the cancer.

I knew there must be a good biological reason for it

Last time I believe my elders about anything.

I am soooooooooo not going to get cancer. Matter of fact, I'm doing to do a little more prevention than usual.

Better safe than sorry, eh?

Looks I have been preventing cancer since I was 13...

Were it not for your heterosexual nature- and my revulsion of my appearance in a skirt and make up- I would share a donkey treat with you as we bask in the morning afterglow!!!

Coolness, I prevent so much cancer, that nobody within 10 feet of me will get it.

I could have told you this. Because I both masturbate and do not have cancer. I also attribute my healthy nails, and glowing hair, to a good 'jerk b4 werk'

Why dont they teach these things in schools? Just imagine telling a class of middle school students that masturbation helps prevent cancer. Two months later half the school district will have carpal tunnel, lol.

13 you say? hm, think I started down the cancer prevention path around about the end of 6th grade when these girls wanted to show me what french kissing was all about.

Not sure how french kissing correlates to masturbation, but I am sure I went to the wrong school for 6th grade..

Ummm... one small problem, though. I have prostate cancer, and by all accounts, then, I oughtn't.

It's all about early detection, so what you really need is to have a trained professional stick his finger up yer caboose.

Oh, and a regular PSA test after 40, to be safe.

But by all means boys, keep at it, just in case, eh?
