is it true that masturbation helps prevent prostate cancer?

Answer 1

Yes - this is true. In July 2003, an Australian research team published a medical study which concluded that frequent masturbation and/or ejacualtion via sexual intercourse, can help prevent the development of prostate cancer.

Researchers questioned over 1,000 men who had developed prostate cancer and 1,250 who had not about their sexual habits. What they found was that 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.

The researchers suggest that ejaculating may prevent carcinogens accumulating in the prostate gland. The prostate provides a fluid into semen during ejaculation that activates sperm and prevents them sticking together. The fluid has high concentrations of substances including potassium, zinc, fructose and citric acid, which are drawn from the bloodstream. Frequent ejaculation has a flushing-out-effect, the more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them. A similar connection has been found between breast cancer and breastfeeding, where lactating appeared to "flush out" carcinogens, reduce a woman's risk of the disease.

There are also some other helathy benefits to frequent masturbation/ejaculation:

It can help with people that have insomnia, helping their bodies to relax after wards.

It can help to stimulate the immune system to help build up resistance to common infections.

It can help with depression by the release mood elevating hormones.

So - masturbation is not only fun - it turns out that it is also good for you =o)

Answer 2

It may well be the case that masturbation does help prevent cancer of the prostate because regular ejaculation keeps the prostate clear of stale seminal fluid which has an irritant effect. Regular contractions of the prostate during orgasmic ejaculation also assist in maintaining the condition of the prostate itself. Go ahead - you are doing yourself more good than harm

Answer 3

Yes, it does, just as receiving oral sex twice a day and have regular sex three times a day will also prevent prostate cancer. If your wife/girlfriend initiates threesomes with other women nightly for you, you will never develop any cancers, ever. Just don't miss a night.

Answer 4

Probably not. If it were true, no one would ever get prostate cancer.

Rapid climax, early ejaculation, premature ejaculation, whatever you call it, it’s a problem plaguing hundreds of men, although many might not admit it. That’s because ever since ancient times sexual performance has been linked to a man’s virility and masculinity. It’s easy to understand then why a man might want to avoid talking about his ejaculation concerns, either with his partner or anyone else. However, premature ejaculation is actually the most common sexual problem faced by men. Whether it is a persistent concern, or just an occasional incident, most men have reported having some trouble with controlling their ejaculation at one point or another.
