Re #34: And a new study shows jerking off lowers your chances of prostate cancer! (Hmm. This may cause people to rethink whether they want to advise their enemies to do it.)

Re #43: Here's the article: http://www.cbc.ca/storyview/AOL/2003/07/17/masturbate030717 It was a statistical study and the mechanism isn't really known.

"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." Probably there is a correlation between not have intercourse much and masturbating alot. In which case it may be the lack of intercourse which causes reduced chances of prostrate cancer later in life.

You'd think they would have controlled for that by including non-sexually-active men who didn't masturbate regularly. But without seeing detailed information on the study it's hard to be sure.

Let me guess: prostrate cancer is a disease you take lying down?

Not me. I whack off lying down, and this prevents prostate cancer.

Yeah, me too. Oh. Wait.

re#47: The quote you enter seems to suggest evidence contrary to past studies. Past studies have shown that once the population of various 'floura' are quickly generally evenly distributed between hetero monogamous couples the likelyhood of "picking up" infections is minimal. I would suspect this would similarly be the case in homo monogamous couples although I doubt such studies have been done given the rarity of such. If the study is suggesting that masturbation is far less likely to involve future medical problems than going out and paying for a hooker then I would think that would be obvious as well.

Re #52: The study shows a link between masturbation and lower rates of prostate cancer. Right now any comments about the reasons for that are pretty much just speculation.
