Masturbation protects against prostate cancer: study

LONDON - A new study 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."
