Study: Dong Flogging Masturbation May Prevent Prostate Cancer
2008-04-24
Men who frequently whack the old pud 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 stretch the baloney masturbated more than five times each week were one-third less likely to develop the cancer.
"Elwood! What are you doing in there?"
"Cancer prevention, Mom!"
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.
"Elwood! What was that noise?"
"My carcinogens flushing, Mom!"
"Well, make sure you clean up after yourself! Last time your father slipped in your carcinogens and almost broke his back!"
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.
"Put that thing away, before somebody catches cancer!"

#14  A couple of years ago I had a bout of acute prostatitis. Temp of 105 for days, etc. A century ago I probably would have died, but Cipro pulled me through.

#5  I saw another study like this a couple years ago. I think it was titled "M@sturbation a day, keeps prostate cancer away." Makes sense that flushing the pipes keeps you healthy.

#4  Agree this needs confirmation. Still, it pays to play it safe just in case...

#2  If they didn't age-norm the samples or they age-normed the samples incorrectly, it could easily account for this difference (since older men are more likely to have cancer and probably masturbate less often).

I'd be extra cautious given that this result is based on 'a report' that has not, apprarently, be published or even been reviewed by a credible and neutral organization.
