Everyone
is used to hearing the phrase, 'an apple a day, keeps the doctor away.'
It is good to know a little habit, such as eating an apple a day, can
keep your nutrition levels up in order to help you maintain a healthy
body. Does this apply to other things as well? Of course it does. People
work-out, walk, run, take supplements, and do other constant habits in
order for them to keep their body healthy and immune system up. However,
there has been a habit, more so consumed by men, that helps lower the
chances of cancer among males. What is the habit you ask? Masterbation!
'An
ejaculation five or more times a week keeps the doctor away?'
It
has been reported through a study conducted on thirty-thousand men that
male ejaculation may be healthy for men; especially in the early years
[18 +]. By ejaculating twenty-one, or more, times a month, a male is decreasing
his risk of getting prostate cancer by approximately a third. This is
good news for males and all the fornicators out there. However, this does
not mean you can use the 'I need to hit my twenty-one quota' line on the
ladies. The recent US study confirms a previous, and smaller, Aussie study
that had the same findings.
How
Can This Be?
So,
yes, ejaculation, either through sex or masturbation, is good for you.
But why? There are many biological reasons that back this study. As stated
in the New Scientist, increased ejaculation may allow the prostate
gland to clear itself of carcinogens or of materials that form a substrate
for the development of carcinogens.
Another theory states that through constant drainage of the prostate,
there is little chance of the development of crystalloid microcalcifications
which are carcinogenic.
The study summarizes that masturbation in the early years of male adulthood
is important when lowering the risk of prostate cancer. It has yet to
be studied whether frequent ejaculation, during later years, will lower
cancer levels in older males. However, who cares and good times.
We would also like pointing out that masturbation helps one to relax,
relieve pressure, and get a good nights sleep. Or is that just us?
