Masturbating Lowers Prostate Cancer Risk -Study
Wed Jul 16, 5:46 PM ET Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo!

LONDON (Reuters) - Frequent masturbation, particularly in the 20s, helps prevent prostate cancer (news - web sites) later in life, according to new research.

Australian scientists have shown that the more men masturbate between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to develop the disease that kills more than half a million men each year.

They suspect that frequent ejaculation has a protective effect against the cancer because it prevents dangerous carcinogens from building up in the gland.

"The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them," Graham Giles, of the Cancer Council Victoria in Melbourne, told New Scientist magazine on Wednesday.

In a survey of 1,079 prostate cancer patients and 1,259 healthy men, Giles and his team discovered that men who ejaculated more than five times a week in their 20s were a third less likely to develop an aggressive form of the disease.

The findings contradict previous studies which suggested that having a variety of partners or frequent sexual activity could increase the risk of prostate cancer by 40 percent.

But Giles said the earlier research concentrated on intercourse, whereas his study focused on masturbation. Infections caused by sexual activity could account for the different findings.

"Men have many ways of using their prostate which don't involve women or other men," he added.

The latenight news anchor in Melbourne had to read this story last night... we watched in great amusement at her struggle to keep a straight face, she was quite visibly in danger of cracking up with giggles at having to say "masturbation" on the news. Classic stuff.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 18 July 2003 03:20 (twenty-two years ago)

when you masturbate, do you use your both hands? because we must remember how to not ruin things. remember, life is all about having fun. When we die, we are dust in the sand.

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Friday, 18 July 2003 03:53 (twenty-two years ago)

mike, i'm flattered more than i can say, but i don't need two hands when i do it.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 18 July 2003 04:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Does it count if I use one hand and one huge dildo?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 18 July 2003 04:01 (twenty-two years ago)

is it up your botty?

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 18 July 2003 04:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not dignifying that with a response.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 18 July 2003 04:43 (twenty-two years ago)

but you just did

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 18 July 2003 04:47 (twenty-two years ago)

i think we know what that means

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 18 July 2003 04:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Well I'm not going to suck on it.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 18 July 2003 04:52 (twenty-two years ago)

And, BTW, I do not use a huge dildo when masturbating. I'm not that far gone. It doesn't take that much effort. Now, during sex is a different matter...

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 18 July 2003 04:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Well I'm not going to suck on it

not after its been up there.

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 18 July 2003 04:55 (twenty-two years ago)

jeesh, what am i doing? sorry

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 18 July 2003 04:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Your dirtiness is appreciated. Your wit needs work.
