Masturbation 'cuts cancer risk'

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

Quote:

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.

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

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

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

From the article quoted by the OP:

What about mutual masturbation?

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)

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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
