    Default Study: Masturbation May Prevent Prostate Cancer

    As if men need any more incentive.


    Study: Masturbation May Prevent Prostate Cancer

    Men who frequently masturbate appear to have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer, Australian researchers reported.

    Researchers from the Cancer Council of Victoria found that men who masturbated more than five times each week were one-third less likely to develop the cancer.

    The study surveyed 1,000 men who developed prostate cancer and 1,250 who did not, and all were between the ages of 20 and 50, according to a report on Monday on the gay and lesbian news site PlanetOut.

    Researchers told the BBC last week that the prostate produces one of the fluids involved in ejaculation and that frequent masturbation appears to flush out carcinogens.

    Sexual intercourse may not have the same effect because it increases the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, which could raise the risk of cancer, the Web site reported.

    I have never understood the maligning of masterbation.

    I have always thought that practice makes perfect.

    Why should it not apply in this area?

    I'm not maligning it. I'm all for it. I'm just saying if men think it is also good for their health many may never leave the house.

    Get a grip on yourselves, will you?

    There's something fishy about this report...just can't put my finger on it.

    Because most men want to be perfect at sex, not at masturbation.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    LOL, You are right but it is funny.

    Egos are pretty funny though.

    having fun is more important to me.

    In case anyone were wondering, I masturbated a ridiculous amount of times today. Gotta stay healthy.

    I have a friend who swears she masturbates twice a day. But, she's married.
