I read a study that suggests frequent masturbation by men in their 20s provides protection against prostate cancer later in life.
Scientists in Australia determined that men in their 20s who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop aggressive prostate cancer later in life.
The study suggests ejaculation by means of masturbation provides better protection than ejaculation in sexual intercourse because men can pick up infections from intercourse that actually increase the risk of getting prostate cancer.
The Australian team was headed by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council of Victoria in Melbourne.
The team asked 1,079 men with prostate cancer to detail their sexual habits. The responses were compared with those of 1,259 healthy men.
The team concluded that the more men between the ages of 20 and 50 masturbate, the less likely they are to develop prostate cancer. The study emphasizes that this is especially so for men in their 20s.
"The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them," Giles said in New Scientist magazine.
"Masturbation is part of people's sexual repertoire," said Anthony Smith, deputy director of the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University in Melbourne. "If these findings hold up, then it's perfectly reasonable that men should be encouraged to masturbate."

"men can pick up infections from intercourse that actually increase the risk of getting prostate cancer"
Ya know intercourse is probably the number one cause of most STIs, STDs, and cancers. Just guessing though.
... Cancer isn't contagious. Are you an idiot or just retarded?
Certain cancers can be brought on by certain STIs. An example is HPV which can lead to cervical cancer in women.

True, but the original poster was suggestign cancer itself was spreadable. Cancer isn't spreadable to other beings.

ok guys
masturbation it self is not a sin.
But what is involved in it is.
The thinking of women and looking at porn is the sinful parrt of it. Not that actually masturbation
No offense, but what does this have to do with the science of it all?

I knew I was doing something right when I was a teenager... hey I never stopped!
masturbation is a sin. read the Catechism of the Catholic Church or the Bible. just to warn you...
As for you, my dear (other) guest, because of mentalities like yours sex has become a tabu!
Where in the Bible?
--Mike
Good point ;)
You think one of the greatest human beings of all time would want to keep people from being sexually healthy? I think not. Jesus I'm sure flushed out the pipes every once and a while...and why not. It wasn't Jesus who said sex before marriage was a sin or that masturbation would send you to the FIRE AND BRIMSTONE that was the CHRISTIAN CHURCH who decided that if they kept people repressed, sexually, spiritually, mentally then they could ask things of them that any right minded person would never follow. Get a clue.
Actually, he did say that sex before marriage was a sin, but nothing about masturbation.
--Mike
What's wrong with having sex with yourself? Masturbation is healthy. Hands down, it cleans the ducts, makes you feel good, prepares you for having sexual intercourse and makes you disciplined from becoming a baby maker (aka: baby daddy.)
you mean . . . Masterbation is healthy, hands down . . .? haha
"Masturbation is healthy. Hands down"
I'm sorry it was just so funny!!! LOL
no just read it it is hilarious.

HOLE BY MULTIPLE MEN GO THROUGH MY MIND IF I HAVE SEX WITH A PARTNER OR BY MYSELF SO WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY MASTURBATION ITSELF IS NOT SIN BUT WHAT INVOLVED IS.
SEX IS NO FUN IF YOU CANT USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO SPICE IT UP.

"Jesus I'm sure flushed out the pipes every once and a while...and why not. It wasn't Jesus who said sex before marriage was a sin or that masturbation would send you to the FIRE" toink!!
heheheh yea sound sarcastic! but in any perspective u'r such an innocent or let me say u'v got to be kidding! hahaha...simply saying in a court your more than a judge having no witnesses and a trial of the unknown.. and that what makes u some kind of a "ukie"...vibrate funny being..your postulating an idea without any sense of mind..but anyway we hav that freedom of speech...just leave u there...you have your own world and may be HE will send you to fire!..i wish HE will not and HE longs HE will not either! get a clue elsewhere?
Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been proved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Do not be deceived my beloved brethren. James 1:12-16
Satan uses our desires to try to lead us into sin. He places us in situations where it seems that the only way out is to violate God's law in some manner. Don't let Satan deceive you! God has guaranteed us that there is always a way out of temptation that does not involve sinning.
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. I Corinthians 10:13
God didn't promise that the way out would always be easy to spot, but it is there even if we have to look hard for it. Unfortunately, when our passions are inflamed, it is difficult to think clearly. The desire for sex is very strong. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you can go part way and resist. Sometimes the best way to keep from sinning is to avoid the temptation
who cares... seriously, I will do what I want religion wont cage me into believing things which are not true.... please dont flame me for saying that...
Keep up the good work!

I thought the reason why men develop prostate cancer is because the area in the middle of the prostate gland grows faster than the outside...so how does masturbating solve/prevent that??? Or maybe, I'm just wrong???...
thats what my boyfriend always says when he wants to have sex, but i dont know
Hmm...interesting. Do you have a link to the actual study?
I've always said that masturbation is the key to stress managment...I'm 65 and live totally stress free.
Now I have another reason to keep getting of twice a day :)
Thank you Jesus!
Remember kids, everytime you masterbate, god kills a cat.
People need to stop shoving religion into everything. People get sick of your preaching. I have sex and I'm not married! I masterbate. Looks like I'm going to hell. Gonna enjoy my way to it though!
I hate cats anyway.
--Mike
Not a truer word written, I`m 80 years old, and been wanking every day since I was 13, and still enjoy the experience, and still free from any prostrate problems.
So go for it guys, beat the meat, its a lot less trouble, than worrying about a woman to satisfy your desires
I guess my daily and nightly wanking pays off ;) Definatly better than TRYING to get the woman to. Also helps keep the tubes clena. No Tapioca (sp?) sydrom!
maturbation isn't wrong, i agree that it is actually healthy.
I have been saying that for years. Practice makes perfect. If you don't use it, you lose it. For people who have been married a long time, sex is a very rare thing. It's hit or miss. When you want it, she doesn't. When she wants it you're not around. When you are around she doesn't want it. "IT GETS HARD" trying to coordinate schedules. By the time everyone is on the same page your HEAD could explode and it's over before it starts and that leaves everybody frustrated. Masterbation gives men the stamina to please women. It keeps men from cheating on their wives. And for you religious people, you just need to jack off and get it over with. Trust me. You'll feel better. Why do you think God made Eve???? To give Adam something to DO when he wasn't masterbating. God saw that Adam was masterbating and spilling his seed on all the trees in the Garden of Eden. God said, 'It is not good that man should be alone. I will give him a woman to bone." Thus, Eve was created. As the story goes, men saw that sex was good. They wanted it all the time. They took multiple wives and many concubines. But God has a sense of humor. After man had populated the nation, God gave women menstruation. After seeing all that blood and frustration, men thank God for MASTERBATION. In Jesus' name, Aman.
Yeah, no where in the bible does is say"though shalt not tough thyself"
Actually it kind of does... just not in a clear way...
It basically says it's worse to spill your seed(semen) on the ground than it is into the belly of a hooker...
So masturbation is worse than sleeping with a hooker... Or at least I'm pretty sure what it meant.
WHERE AT? I think you screwed up.

If you masterbate to much could you have any problems down the road??
So does this study analyze different races? I only ask because black men are 20% more likely to get prostate cancer than white men. so if this study is done only with white men, then it is really one sided and scews the results.

Ha! One more reason for men to touch themselves...lol! I'm just kidding but I am wondering where this whole thing came from.
I agree, masturbation is a grave sin. It's wasting the seed of a man, which is technically killing, violating the 5th and 6th commandment. Not to mention it can also kill your fertility. I'll take testicular cancer.
So when is anyone going to get around to studying the health benefits of female masturbation. Cause right now all I've got to hang on to is I'm not going to get prostate cancer. I knew that.

And theres nothing in the bible against that as far as I know...sorry guys. you guys get all the going to hell posts, so its better to get a hooker than masturbate....lala better to pick up an std or pay for sex than masturbate. Kind of crazy. I'm glad I get off scot free.

When women don't get pregnant every month they would be wasting potential life just like men do when they masturbate. So by that logic all women are going to hell. Sorry but you bible thumper's may be sexist women haters but I'm not. How dare you suggest god sends all women to hell.
