Masturbation 'cuts cancer risk'

[Isaac]

Here's a fun medical article I just found online:

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.
They found those who had ejaculated the most between the ages of 20 and 50 were the least likely to develop the cancer.
The protective effect was greatest while the men were in their 20s.
Men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer later in life.

A _____________ a day keeps the doctor away! :evil:

[NirvanaMan]

Woo hoo...cancer free since '93.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Dude, I'm immortal!

[Kevy Baby]

I knew my wrist was constantly sore for a reason.

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Wait... it's just ejaculation. So wouldn't sex fulfill the same cancer-reducing purpose?

Honey! It's time for your daily... er... vitamin!

[Moonliner]

I guess I better send off a large check to the National Cancer Institute for basic research into a cure. :blush:

[€uroMeinke]

What about mutual masturbation?

[innerSpaceman]

I love how the protective effect against prostrate cancer is best in a person's 20's ... when there's like zero natural risk of prostrate cancer.

I don't think I'll be letting this study affect my masturbation habits.


(but fortunately, I fall on the very safe side of the study's dubious results)

[Gemini Cricket]

Spunk spanks cancer.

[Sub la Goon]

Beat cancer. Beat yourself!

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Great, Pee Wee Herman's gonna live forever....

[CoasterMatt]

So now when a mom walks in on her son, he can say "Mom, I'm just cutting down on my cancer risk!"

[€uroMeinke]

Sure beats smoking

[Sub la Goon]

Maybe "Beat Off Cancer" would be a good motto?

[Ghoulish Delight]

Has everyone done their daily health check yet?

[innerSpaceman]

Um, just recently in fact.

[Kevy Baby]

I'm trying to type one-handed so I can lower my cancer risk.

[cirquelover]

I knew i should've stayed out of this thread, slaps head and runs away:blush:

[Kevy Baby]

...slaps head ...There's already some of that going on in here (think about it).

[NirvanaMan]

I tend to reduce cancer in the morning before work.

[Kevy Baby]

"Choking the chicken chokes cancer"

[NickO'Time]

Five Knuckle Chuckle chokes cancer

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

The t-shirt reads "I Beat cancer."

[Strangler Lewis]

At my wife's company, they have a room where working nursing mothers can pump. So it follows . . .

[Scrooge McSam]

In light of this thread, I'll never view the nick "Strangler Lewis" the same way again.

There are reasons I have a home office.

Which raises the question: Have you ever cured cancer at work? Other than on a temp job, of course.

At most law firms, it's okay as long as you're thinking about the client and can bill the time.

I guess that would depend on the client.

[Moonliner]

Great now every time I err, umm, yeah...

Thoughts of prostate cancer, operations, radiation and death pop into my head. Talk about counter productive. :rolleyes:

That's why they call it a job.

Currently GC is doing something about his unemployment.

Actually the only thing to curb prostate cancer is excessive farting.

(Imagine if that were true...:p )

[Kevy Baby]

So, preventing cancer can make you go blind? That's a conflict!

[CoasterMatt]

As long as this (http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=34412&in_page_id=2) doesn't happen :eek:

[Morrigoon]

So does that mean you can write off porn as a medical expense?

(or in Strangler Lewis' case, a business expense...)

But on the other hand, it makes screeing for cancer at lot easier.

"OK please show me your palm".

"OK please show me your palm".

More like - "OK please show me your Fleshlight"

They'll be selling heaps more "Fleshlights" now that they can be claimed on your health insurance!

Ohhhhh, you don't want that link again ?????

DON'T LOOK!! I MEAN IT !! You'll go blind ! but possibly prevent prostate cancer
