February 6, 200917 yr Masturbation Frequency Linked to Prostate Risk in 20s, Protection in 50s. Frequent masturbation in young men is linked to higher risk of early prostate cancer, but it lowers prostatecancer risk for men in their 50s, a study shows. High levels of male sex hormones, or androgens, may increase a man's risk of prostate cancer. But different studies of this question, done in different ways, have reached different conclusions. To look at the question in a new way, a team of researchers at England's University of Nottingham looked at whether men with more intense sex drives were at higher risk of prostate cancer. Polyxeni Dimitropoulou, PhD; Rosalind Eeles, PhD, FRCP; and Kenneth R. Muir, PhD, obtained detailed sexual histories from 840 men. About half the men got prostate cancer by age 60, and about half did not have cancer. The findings were surprising. Sexual intercourse did not affect prostate cancer risk. But frequent masturbation did -- in different ways, at different times of life. "Frequent masturbation during men's 20s and 30s increased their risk of prostate cancer," Dimitropoulou tells WebMD. "But men in their 50s who masturbated frequently had decreased risk." Of course, masturbation frequency is relative. For men in their 20s, "frequent masturbation" was two to seven times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported masturbating less than once per month, 20-something frequent masturbators had a 79% higher risk of prostate cancer by age 60. For men in their 50s, "frequent masturbation" was one or more times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported never masturbating, 50-something frequent masturbators had a 70% lower risk of prostate cancer. Link
February 6, 200917 yr Well, perhaps. I like to be a woman, or a man undêr 49. What is the problem wîth all this <deleted> - bla bla bla been going on for years. Sorry!
February 7, 200917 yr This is funny, because not too long ago, in another thread, I think I posted a link to an article done by some Aussie doctors, who claimed that frequent wanke_rs had a lower risk of prostate cancer (but they didn't specify age groups). I'll wait for the next "study" to come out, saying that if you only wank on the second Tuesday of the 3rd week of each month, you'll reduce the risk of getting cancer. Then someone else will come along and claim that their study shows that if the second Tuesday of the 3rd week of the month is an odd numbered day, the risk of getting cancer actually increases ! Then another study will come out showing the risk only increases in guys with red hair that date brunettes who work in shopping malls, unless they wank 4-5 times on that day, but only once if it's an even numbered day and the weather is overcast with the moon in it's 3rd quarter.
February 7, 200917 yr I recall reading a study that said that women who had regular orgasms might reduce their risk of breast cancer, help deal with uterine cramps, relieve symptoms of PMS and migraines. guys, you need to get to work
February 7, 200917 yr I recall reading a study that said that women who had regular orgasms might reduce their risk of breast cancer, help deal with uterine cramps, relieve symptoms of PMS and migraines. guys, you need to get to work I never knew you thought of me in that way SBK :D
February 7, 200917 yr That's a nice variation on an old line. 'Tonight please darling, I have a headache...'
February 7, 200917 yr Author If you want to reach the target audience, Scea, you'll need a larger font. I think that most of the target audience have long ago acquired glasses Ping. I can remember an on going urban myth that said that if a man got prostrate cancer his wife was to blame for being.... errr... too stingy with her affections.
February 7, 200917 yr The OP study was from Nottingham - and if you look at the ladies of Nottingham you'll see why there's a large testing base available (Saturday Night & Sunday Morning imported the girls). The other study was from Oz - need I say more ??
February 7, 200917 yr There's a seaside resort in the south of England which is going to give out free flip flops to the ladies who are staggaring home in their high heels so as they don't break their ankles. Was that comment relevant to prostate cancer? No, i don't think so...
February 7, 200917 yr I can't wait till I'm 50... So you don't have to worry about wanking anymore? No, it becomes optional then...

February 7, 200917 yr Hmmm. Doesn't say anything abouts teens, but I'm thinking I may be able to drop my health insurance and self insure.
February 8, 200917 yr So what about twice a day 7 days a week? Live forever? Yes but after the first 150 years you have to have your shirt sleeves specially tailored.
February 9, 200917 yr Author As in one cuff size being twice the size of the other? Haven't you ever heard of changing hands?.... 98, 99, 100......
February 9, 200917 yr Author You realise that that kind of boasting could attract possibly unwelcome attention on this board?
February 9, 200917 yr Or using both at the same time? Small hands or big imagination ?? Depends which way he's holding the magnifying glass !!!
