Masturbating Lowers Prostate Cancer Risk - Study

[Barney Gumble]

Hooray, I'm first to post this. You just know this one is going to wildfire the internet!

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.

I love this line:

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

5. How often is "frequent" in your mid-40s, I wonder?

Is once a day often enough?

:freak:

[plcdude]

12. depends

on what the rest of your life is like.

[MoonGod]

6. So does this mean that baby oil and porn...

... can now be included as Section 125 expenses?

Woo Hoo! Tax-free porn!

:evilgrin:

13. Many wouldn't admit to it

Lots of women do too. I wonder what the benifit is for us?

I know! I know! We don't have to do the prophylatics' laundry

9. Pud Pulling Postpones Prostate Problems!

You can't beat news like this...unless we're just getting jerked off again by the media.

10. Now, I don't have to worry about Glaucoma or prostate cancer.

11. Let's give ourselves a hand, gentlemen!

It's healthy!

15. Remember the outrage over that African-American Surgeon General?

She was fired for trying to discuss masturbation as a doctor to adults. I think her name was Elders. Bring her back!!!

[slackmaster]

17. Yes, Dr. Joycelynn Elders

Invented the concept of "outercourse".

:bounce:

[Qutzupalotl]

23. Euphemism for masturbation:

Jostlin' the Elder

30. Sharpening the pencil...

Burning the candle at one end
Mowing the lawn
Milking the man-teat
Emptying the warehouse stock
Building a flesh fire

And many others.....

16. now I can tell my mother that I was trying to improve my health

not just... well you know!

:bounce:

[frylock]

27. you said you were combing your hair!!

[XNASA]

20. I thought that this was already common knowledge.

Either way, I wasn't about to take any chances.

Honestly, I thought that I had read about this years and years ago. Or maybe I had read the flip side and that is that, men who don't have active sex lives are more likely to get prostrate cancer.

That's my excuse. And I'm a sticky wicket, I mean.....I'm sticking with it.

[bif]

21. So I'm a health nut after all!

I've been pulling for my health for a long time.

24. Hey, beer is good for you too!

Links coming as soon as I find a good one.

This is a really, really good day after all.

28. Boy...saying that "Somebody had a Stroke"

takes on a whole new meaning!

Lately my odds must be around MINUS 50%.

[DrGonzoLives]

29. This is not particularly "new"

Since the prostate is essentially a Penis Pump, anything that causes it to pump stuff out keeps infectious bacteria from growing in it. My 9th grade health teacher mentioned one time that the best way to keep a healthy prostate is to drink the right amount of water and have sex. Seriously.

31. Well it is now obvious which DUers are

Masters of their domain and Kings of their castle.

[salmonhorse]

32. Pixie wants to know...

"Can someone do 'it'/'that' to/for someone else and contribute to that happy ending?"

:shrug:

Because take it from me; as a former Frederick's of Hollywood model/Duran Duran video dancer she is very scientific that way ~

[bif]

33. No wonder DUers are such a hearty lot.

We're all a bunch of wankers!

[baldguy]

34. Does it work for women too?

[Maddy McCall]

35. Uh...we don't have prostates ;-)

[dweller]

42. now that's a laff, you wouldn't know it

from reading the back of a Midol Extra-Strength: warning, says not recommended if suffering from prostrate problems (paraphrased).

I found this out from a friend who recommended taking it for back problems, which at the time i was suffering through. Seems the Midol XS 'shrinks tissue', which in my case, and his case also, was a ruptured disk. It did help to take it occasionally, after surgery fixed the disk problem permanently, and a flare up caused 'discomfort'...

so, not recommended for the O+'s w/ prostate problems?

Where the hell did they find a control study of men who don't masturbate? Is Utah the new Prostate Cancer Capital of the world?

[Scottie72]

51. I knew someone would eventually post that!

[Dirty Hippie]

47. I remember when my son

was *ahem* maturing, I was lecturing him about responsible sex. I held up his hand to his face and said "let me introduce you to your girlfriend." He never forgave me for that!

[LDB]

50. How about

just plain frequent actual sex itself?? Has anyone ever done a study on the relationship between actual frequency of sexual activity (involving another person!) with ejaculation for the male AND also the same data regarding female repro-tract cancers relationship to frequency of female sexual activity with climax.

Seems to me that no matter what, the real thing should be FAR preferred, and healty too, to one of Mr. Hefner's lassies and a lot of imagination.
