Masturbation may prevent prostate cancer

[NJmaverick]

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.

Q3JR4.
Masturbation is sex with someone I love.

[quip]

Edit: Read the article and I see why masturbation is preferred, no risk of STD

[kath]

[EnviroBat]

24. Yeah, but it's giving me tennis elbow...

AND carpel tunnel. Perhaps 7 x a day is too much cancer prevention.

[Orrex]

35. Just switch to your other hand

You'll relieve your tennis elbow and it'll seem like someone else is administering the treatment.

[EnviroBat]

59. Muh other hand is a hook, and it was made by Black & Decker.
