Masturbation may prevent prostate cancer
May 24, 2010 | Men's Health
Men could reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer through regular masturbation, researchers suggest. According to BBC News, April 2008 They say cancer-causing chemicals could build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly. Monogamous sex is the best. However, researchers 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. The protective effect was greatest while the men were in their 20s. Men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer later in life. Prostate fluid Previous research suggested that a high number of sexual partners or a high level of sexual activity increased a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer. But the Australian researchers who carried out this study suggest the early work missed the protective effect of ejaculation because it focused on sexual intercourse, with its associated risk of STDs (sexually transmitted disease). The researchers suggest that ejaculating may prevent carcinogens accumulating in the prostate gland. The prostate provides a fluid into semen during ejaculation that activates sperm and prevents them sticking together. The fluid has high concentrations of substances including potassium, zinc, fructose and citric acid, which are drawn from the bloodstream. Flushing out Dr Giles, the leading researcher, said fewer ejaculations may mean carcinogens build up. “It’s a prostatic stagnation hypothesis. The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them.” A similar connection has been found between breast cancer and breastfeeding, where lactating appeared to “flush out” carcinogens, reduce a woman’s risk of the disease, New Scientist reports. Anthony Smith, deputy director of the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University in Melbourne, said the research could affect the kind of lifestyle advice doctors give to patients. Masturbation is part of people’s sexual repertoire. “If these findings hold up, then it’s perfectly reasonable that men should be encouraged to masturbate,” he said. |

You know, the sperm bank will pay big bucks for healthy donations.

If this study is true, then prostate cancer would probably not exist.

I tried to donate sperm and I passed all the tests till medical history. (I had juvenile asthma) Interesting fact: They only approve men with extremely high sperm counts. This way they get more "bang" for their buck. Before denying me they told me I have EIGHT TIMES MORE POTENT SPERM THAN THE AVERAGE MAN. BOW BEFORE MY SUPER SEMEN, MORTALS. |

No, if it's true, we'd have vastly more cases of prostate cancer.
