Masturbation Cuts Cancer Risk

MMM | August 6, 2005 – 11:37 am |

Men could reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer through regular masturbation, researchers suggest.

They say cancer-causing chemicals could build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly.

And they 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.

Men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer later in life.

Hmmm, interesting…
