What the report did not tell is that the Masturbating Group stood a 50% higher risk of going blind. At least that is what Mom told me.
This is good news for me!
Well great, now that Im blind with hairy palms this is music to my ears!
So Monica Lewinsky’s dress could be considered a hazardous waste site?
Come again?
Fox News now gets it’s info from a site called PlanetOut? What is this world “coming” to?
Consider the source.
lol tim thts funny, man this is the greatest newss that could ever been reported……the sells of paper towels have went up..lol
bull***, I beat the average, eyesight good, cancerous prostate removed at age 50.
One small step for cancer prevention, One giant leap for MANkind!
Only could a G&L news report miss the point — husbands who have regular sex (which they will in a good marriage) will not need to masterbate, and will get all of the benefits for their prostate plus other mental and physical health benefits, with NO risk of STDs — that risk is only in the G&L community and promiscous couples or singles. Sex between a husband and wife is still the healthiest.
Hey,
What about this idea. Married monogamous men who have sex with their faithful loving wives, as much as 5 times a week could also benefit from lower prostate cancer rates? Noooo, could it be true? Wow ! Now thats a concept. Gee, who came up with that idea? God. Oh and another benefit to that concept, peace of mind, happy wife, happy home, happy kids…..
At least that was my experience for 25 years of marriage.
Well, don’t that beat all
Does infrequent masturbation cause it?
WOO HOO!!! Looks like no prostate cancer for me!!!
Sounds like some more junk science to legitimize thier sexually deiviant lifestyle!!!!
Perhaps Joycelyn Elders was right after all!
Well, gentlemen…your prostate health is now…literally…in your own hands
Great, another reason for men to bug their wives for sex.
5 times a WEEK? Good lord, we’d all be walking around with one arm looking like Mr. Universe…. Or our wives would kill us, one of the two.
Use it or lose it.
This explains why the prostate cancer rate is very, very low among men who do not fornicate.
Yay! I’m gonna live forever! Poor kittens
Uh-Huh—- Never had a problem with going blind or hairy palms but I did develop “Tenis Elbow” in both arms!
That’s great–will doctors now write prescriptions for porn DVDs and health insurance cover the cost?
i wonder if this is true for women also? in any case, masterbation is a stress reliever and i take care of myself, so good for us masterbaters, lol
now the only thing I need to find out is what will keep me from going blind….
So…
a masturbatory event a day keeps the Doctor away….
I have been telling you this for years.
MAN!!! I thought the only benefit I was getting was a good stress reliever with a “helping hand” (literally) from my wife with sex on the side! Just another healthy reason for her to continue!
This is a stupid study. They should say that men which masturbate that often can’t perform well with a woman.
Even more good reason to keep looking at internet porn!!!
My Veteran Heroes will get a kick out of this one. I can’t wait to hear their responses when I e-mail them this. Y’all sure have some humor in your postings. The comments are here are a kick.
“Sounds like some more junk science to legitimize thier sexually deiviant lifestyle!!!!” – JOHN
John, if you’re not masturbating at least 5 times a week, you are the sexual deviant, my friend!
Will masturbation during the prostate exam improve test results?
Why would homosexuals and lesbians be part of a survey regarding sexual intercourse? Let me see now. Monogamous married heterosexual people were not part of the survey. Has FOX news gone liberal, or are they just stupid like the BBC?
I thought the church teaches that masturbation is a sin, so sinning can save your life..Awsome
So wouldn’t the results of this study support more frequent sex with your STD-clean partner? The next time your wife says she has a headache, tell her having sex with you could save your life.
That probably explains why I have not met a blind man with prostate cancer.
a great reason to keep your pipes cleaned out…lol
I knew my mother was not being truthful when she told me “I would go blind”…makes me angry because of all the guilt I had to deal with for those many years of worrying about my eye site. Makes perfectly good sense now as to why I have 20/20 vision..
They forgot to point out that millions of kittens will be dead.
If masturbating 5 times a week lessens the risk 30%, then I have -20% (20 times a week for you who really need to know) chance of getting the disease!
I’m going to have to “UP” my efforts more!
Wow! I never realized the Aussies did it that much!
All that work finally pays off!
GOOD…NOW I HAVE A HEALTH REASON TO DO IT…LOL
If your wife catches you with a girlfriend tell her it’s just a medicinal exercise, that you are doing it for her and the family.
one thing is for sure. Fox news readers have a great sense of humor!!!
5 times a week huh? how about 5 times a day? With those mad skills, I should NEVER get sick.
That is just toooo funny! Your statement that “researchers” found out that masturbation may lower the risk of prostate cancer. I couldn’t stop laughing! As if men need a REASON to masturbate! Of all the self serving comments I have ever heard, THIS one really takes the prize!!! Now I’ll never get my husband and son to keep their hands off of it!!! LOL oh yea…btw…to the lady that said if their husbands get “enough” sex at home then they won’t “need” to masturbate…men don’t “need” to masturbate, they just DO!
And they DO all the time, whether they’re getting sex with the mate or not!! Like they say, there’s a reason God put it exactly an arms length away!! Wake up and feel the shaking!!
Thank god I’m safe!
But what about going blind?
Poor Amy. Her hubby will now get cancer and it’s all her fault. She didn’t want him to bug her. Unless, of course, he HANDles the problem himself. Lots of sex, just no partner.
John – I have a great marriage, but my wife (who works 50-70 hrs a week) can usually only find time once or twice a week to have sex. I need more than that and so I masturbate. If you can find a (tangible) solution for my problem that is better than what I am already doing, I’m willing to take suggestions, but please save moral judgments for your own family.
Hey 95% of all men do it. The other 5% are liars. I’m in the 95%, and I guess my prostate will remain cancer free.
Study: Masturbation May Prevent Prostate Cancer: Jenna Jamison Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize For Her Contributions To Cancer Prevention.
I liked the story.. If these results are true then I will never get the disease….All the money being spent on drugs, treatments, etc.. the answer is in the palm of your hand.
Any excuse to jerk your chicken! This is what’s really needed in our world today…More preoccupation with sex. Some people are already in desperate need of a hobby to get their minds off sex for 20 minutes a day. How did they seperate sexual intercourse 5x/wk from those who masterbate 5x/wk? There is little physiological difference between the two, and their effect on the prostate. It sounds like what they are trying to say is, “A healthy sex life decreases risks of prostate cancer”. Why didn’t they say that?
im never getting prostate cancer!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s the old adage: “Use it or lose it”
Five times a week? Are you kidding me. Not at age 46.
As the old adage says —————-”Us it or lose it”
I have to tell my husband that he no longer needs the Dr to do a digital exam…we can all sleep better tonight knowing this.
I want to thank everyone for their comments. It was a great afternoon laugh, Thanks again and yes I will continue even if I do go blind.
Dumbest “study” ever. Why do they bother with this crap?
Thank you all for a good laugh, I neededi t. Yes i will continue, even if I do go blind.
I have nothing to worry about then… my boss says im the biggest jerk-off he’s seen
If this were true, prostate cancer would never have existed in the first place.
I had a feeling that it was good for me, now I know why.
Great…now I can also fantasize about not having cancer. Giggedy Giggedy!
Now I know why some males are walking around with Monkey looking curled hands, and its not
from hanging around in trees!
Wasn’t this the exact same news story from 2003? And when is common sense news? Use your body as God made it and you’ll be safe–and happy!
Not to mention its a great stress reliever. Now where did I put that lotion?
Woo-Hoo!
This is great news. Now I have an answer for my Mother.
How about ’till I just need glasses?
you may win the cancer fight but you will lose your eyesight and grow hair on the palms of your hands…so what is worse, a blind/hairy palms type of guy or a prostate cancer guy?
LOL @ all jokes and sarcastic remarks…as for the others making “fornicate/deviant sexual lifestyle” remarks, quit being narrow minded this just shows that being human IS healthy for you
Wow! Finally a story I can get my hands around. I am all over this.
I’m investing in Carpal Tunnel treatment centers
Maturbation=Deviant ?
Somebody please get that man a head doctor
(while the REST of us battle the cyclops)
a jack-off a day, keeps the doctor away
Looks like a woman’s hand can help a man in more ways than one…lol
Obviously this is junk science, and dishonest as well.
They claim they found enough guys who don’t masturbate to constitute a valid sampling!
Puleeze…The article should read 33% of all prostate cancer victims lie about masturbating.
As a prostate cancer survivor, I can say it didn’t help me…!!! LOL
Well, Huh… good, I should be cancer free for the rest of my life.

With the increase in risk for heart disease in American women, maybe they can get thier much needed aerobic activity by performing this lifesaving procedure on men. We could call it “Jackercise.” It should be a hit on Netflix!
The “source” of this was the Cancer Council of Victoria, not PlanetOut.
The study involved volunteers from across the standard male population. The PlanetOut is the web-site oriented toward gay and lesbian issues. Clearly, there is no reason to have lesbians in any study relating to prostate issues — do try to use some common sense people.
Deviant clearly indicates abnormality. Masturbation is done by the overwhelming majority of men and the majority of women thus indicating that it’s not deviant in the least.
Oh, and regarding STDs and monogamy, the two aren’t related. You are less likely to acquire an STD if you are monogamous however the risk is “related” only if your partner is as committed to fidelity. And studies show that your rate for HPV continue to climb significantly after being with one partner (the same partner) after the first year (that’s one of the more popular infectious-disease studies in the last 4 years).
And there have been studies examining sexual-frequency and prostate-cancer risk, and they were negative (meaning there was no correlation outside of the margin-of-error), so having a girlfriend or wife is not “good enough” apparently.
I’m 86 and having a time keeping up.
Well it seems I will never get prostrate cancer. I’ll keep up the good work!
W T F ???
Come on now. Check the source. Hello?
I know this is true , as I am 80 yrs old my Doctor told me I am as healthy as a man 1/4 of my age,
I owe it all to wanking, planking & apanking.
You may figure out the meaning of planking if it escapes you, it has something to do with planting,.
Uh, okay, I’ll have to validate this research..I’ll ask my husband to get his prostate checked..with a great wife like me, he should have a great bill of health! Now, if THIS is the best prevention for prostate cancer, should I, as a woman, even stop to wonder what the next “treatment” for breast cancer will be? (Got any advice for the sleep-deprived?!)
Sincerely,
The Best “Hand-for-the-job” is a Woman
Asian men have a lower incidence of prostate cancer primarily because their culture believes in prostate massage. This helps remove excess, and potentially carcinogenic discharges as the article states.
Now just try convincing your Doctor to give you a prostate massage. Mine is female and I’m looking forward to having that discussion with her.
I guess I should send a big THANK YOU note to Pamela Anderson! I wonder if she would “lend me a hand” in this experiment…….?
Had lots to say but typing with 1 hand. I agree with story
THEY DONOT SAY THAT HAVING SEX WITH YOUR WIFE IS MUCH BETTER BECAUSE YOU DONOT GET SEXUALLY TRANSMITED DESEASES. SO HAVING SEX 5 TIMES A WEEK WITH YOUR WIFE IS MUCH BETTER TO AVOID PROSTATE CANCER.
GREAT =====>> SO BASICALLY HILLARY IS GOING TO LIVE WELL INTO HER 100′S
99% of men admit they masturbate and 1% are liars and deny it, so most should avoid prostate cancer.
If as the article states, men can decrease their likelihood of developing cancer by a third if they ejaculate more than five times per week because “frequent masturbation appears to flush out carcinogens”. Wouldn’t men having sex with their wives so frequently and thus “flushing” the carcinogens into her increase the woman’s likelihood of developing cervical cancer?
I’ve been looking after my prostate regulalry for years, and I’ve never felt better. I tell those 20-somethings half my age that it only gets better with time. They find it hard to believe, only because they lack imagination and a firm grip on life. You know what I mean? Ever since I saw that first center-fold. No need for viagra or any of that other pharmaceutical nonsense those companies push on the public. Look at the late Rodney Dangerfield, the poor sap, he was doing it with donuts!. And, look how he ended up. Arrested in his own hopsital bed for smoking a joint. Let’s get real people. Take a glass of red wine and get a firm grip of yourself, and you’ll be fine. Trust me on this one.
Who funded the study, Joycelyn Elders!
AMY,</b<
Do you know where your husband is at? Check his girlfriend’s house if you can’t find him. Oh, and if you ever do find out that he is cheating, don’t get mad. You have no right whatsoever to be mad with the attitude you have. That is, if you were serious which it seemed you were.
I have known some women who bragged about withholding sex from their husbands. In every case, I had knowledge that he was getting some on the side.
On a lighter note, I’ll let my wife know that her “loving hands” among other things, are also healing hands. She’ll be happy to know that.
Hey, if these 1000 idiots are masterbating 5 times a week and telling people about it, what are they doing the other 6 days?
Sex and masturbation is good for women’s health too I understand. At least that is what my wife tells me. Just call me Dr Dave, doing what I can to make her healthy and staying healthy at the same time. Or yes, can never get enough even at my age (mid fifties). Masturbation is a good filler. I assure my wife, not a substitute. Not sure she is buying it. From the comments, some ladies understand. 4am is a good time. Get those couple extra good hours of sleep afterwards.
This type of activity, I have knowledge of. I will make a movie to prove its authenticity.
Hey Mary Shannon, it’s nice to see that people like you are still around these days
You put forth an excellent point, and present an example of one of the many issues lacking in modern society: Morality.
I think that it is better stated that ejaculating regularly leads to lower risks of prostate cancer…NOT the act of masturbating! If men simply had more sex with their partners instead of whacking off to porn (and this study is just another excuse to do so) then health and happiness would be had by all.
Interesting “research” ,even though the source is probably not credible!Hmm, guess my husband will have to get a prostate checkup to validate this information- with a great wife like me, he should get a great report! As a woman, should I even dare to ask what the latest “researched treatment” is for breast cancer?! (Got any suggestions for sleep deprivation?)
Sincerely,
Best “Hand-for-the-Job” is a Woman
Moral judgements are so sad. My wife travels a lot and we get to actually sleep in the same bed a total of 2 weeks a month. The other two weeks she would prefer I take care of myself than look for others. At least I know I am being faithful and health conscience all in the same, well……….hand.
anyone have jenna jamison’s phone number?
Wooohooo….no cancer for me!!!
Hmmmm…. masterbation (or rather ejaculation) prevents prostrate cancer, and semen if swallowed or absorbed into a person’s body reduces unhappiness and depression. There even was a news bit, quit a few years ago, and most likely fake, that semen decreased the likelyhood of breast cancer. Seems like the answer is obvious. Gals, I think you gotta little job to do….remember 5 days a week… thats all we ask.
Yeah, but you get carpal tunnel syndrome….
Umm,,, Angie,,,, Honey,,, regardless of your own masturbation habits, I am dang sure your will never suffer from Prostate Cancer. BUT, just in case,, Tear it up!!
New T-Shirts for Sale: “I BEAT Prostate Cancer”
So the pervs live longer…that figures!
all kidding aside, if the storage of sperm cells and fluids with the ejaculatory ducts builds up toxins as she claims, it could be the same situation as the retention of toxic materials in the lower intestinal track, a steady movement of material through the system may be necessary to prevent cancerous causing chemical buildups. it just happens that the removal of this particular material is very enjoyable by what ever means. you all are making light of what is a serious and deadly condition associated with man’s reproductive system, grow up guys!!
Frequent intercourse is not as good because of the risk of sexually transmitted diseases? Has anyone heard of sex with your spouse? Just one more case for Biblical morality.
must of been a really slow news day! pretty funny…
I KNEW ALL ALONG I WAS RIGHT AND MOM WAS WRONG! AND JUST IN TIME…I CAN STILL SEE!
JUST WHEN JENNA GOT OUT OF PORN TOO!
I heard about ejaculation reducing prostate cancer. Since i am marrried, my wife and i can have intercourse frequently and help reduce risk. Masterbation is usually connected to pornography and that is another issue with addiction. The articel did not include that.
first thing in the morning and right before i fall asleep:)
Have very severe, uncurable prostate cancer, but controlable for a while. At 58, I have masturbated up to 2 and 3 times a day for all of my adult life. I don’t believe a word of this study.
So, for all of you saying that this story was an affront to marriage and decent society, blah, blah, blah… Think… You are saying that you should have sex with your wife 5 times a week to release toxins into her body so that YOU don’t get cancer. Hmm… what was that rule for husbands and wives? Oh, right… husbands, love your wives and lay down your lives for them as Christ did for the church. Not, use her body to prevent an illness.
As for the article, it did come from PlanetOut.com. So, of course, they would not talk about husbands and wives, because they are gay! Duh!
How gay and lesibianish! I’m sure the promiscuous will find this helpful in there justification of the self gratification fetishes they indulge in, but for the person who seeks self mastery, and not masterbation will find more mental & health benifits that come from fidelity to ones self and there signifigant other. The simple question is what are the pro’s and con’s? Simply put, by refraining from such perverse behavior one will keep there mind clean, be more at one with the spirit and there spouse, and in control of one self. On the other hand the con’s are one can find themself with a pornography addiction, habitual self degradation, and less at one with there signifigant other because of a selfish appetite. Keep it your pants, and save it for that speacial person, who if your nice to her, she will help keep healthy.
If I ask my wife for sex 5 times a week I will get the side effect: castration
masturbate? Be careful! A long time ago a man named Onan lost his life doing it.
Redicculous! Shame on you guys in this profession who lack any discernment(common sense). I have had prostate cancer and it got caught early. I know for a fact in African males of descent this is not a fact. You are also encouraging unclean living.
How much money on such senseless research! Is this how our dollars are being spent when we give our time and money to hope you are coming up with cures.
Guess what you are now creating! You should be embarrassed. Please try to give us a better way of looking at the brokeness in which we both fight and suffer together.
This is the funniest collection of answers, to an even more humorous “study”, that I have ever seen. I have to give “give it up” to all the smart Fox viewers and bloggers, who prove as usual, that we are basically a quick witted bunch, who more or less have a “handle on things”. Humor is also rated as the number 1 most desirable trait in a man according to (straight) women studies. So maybe funny guys don’t need to work alone?
ok gentelmen position your right hand raise your left high in the air ( like bull riding )
and lets take matters into our own hands
These guys who are talking about having sex with their spouse 5 times a week, are clearly newlyweds or are not married. It’s that or my marriage sucks !! Also, I have to agree with some other comments. If this were true, prostate cancer wouldn’t exist.
That explains why so few 15 year olds get prostate cancer.
Cool!! That’s great news for most of us, but who the heck is gonna admit it?
Oh THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Looks like and LONG and HAPPY life for me!
i really hope my healthcare will now cover my happy ending. or maybe get a reduced rate if i tell them i masturbate on a regular basis
I undersand that this may be a good thing, however, do you still go blind?
How often is frequently? is 4 a day enough, or do i need to start squeezing some in at lunch as well??
What a relief,,I have feared going Blind all my 69 years,,at last I can relax and enjoy life!
Well I don’t have it and I am infrequent–or is that in frequent?
My sediments exactly… consider the research source… This group of people love to come up with their own research to suite their lifestlyle… Same way they twisted the bible to suite their needs.
Excersice always helps the muscle
Ignoring some of the previous posters moral judgements, any man knows this deep down already. When the time comes and that urge hits you (and it hits everyman, stop lying!), you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s natural, every man does it, what’s the big deal? I’d be very surprised if all your wifes were taking care of you 5 times a week for the entirety of your marriage. Most all guys will, at some point, take matters into their own….ahem…hands.
As for the comments about the fact they mentioned sexual intercourse is not as good due to the risk of STD’s, even if you’re having sex with your spouse (gay or straight of whatever), you can never EVER be 100% sure without a doubt that your spouse is telling you the truth. 99.9999% is not 100%, whereas masturbating is 100% safe. In terms of THIS study, that is why they say that. While 99.9999% is close, it’s not 100%, therefore they have to mention it.
WOW….when it comes to this i am glad to know that we can now focus on such subjects because it is a rilief from the war. As a soldier in Iraq i can say that masterbation is the greatest thing in the world next to Pussycats…..i love cats…..but anyways…..at least i know fighting the war since we can’t have porn over here and being in an Infantry Unit that there are no females all i can say is keep up the stories and i promise as any good red blooded american would, we will keep up the masterbation rates………
I’ve suspected this for a long time. Prostate problems seem to appear with middle age, and at a time when sexual activity is greatly diminished. Keep it up boys!
;^)
Just goes to show the old adage: Use it or lose it.
God bless these studys so get the lotion an let’s take matters in our hands!!!
Congratulations to me!!! Let me just give myself a hand!!!!!!!
You know a guy is lying if he says he “never did” or “just quit”. Heck I am a busy guy, not long after wonderful sex with my wife, Im at it again!
That is one thing I can stop worrying about since I do it at least 10 times a week
But what if my wife won’t let me masturbate?
Isn’t it weird that sexual intercourse has become such a free and easy thing that it is not considered to have the same benefit as masturbation. Why? …the risk of STD. It seems to me that monogumous sexual intercourse would be strongly encouraged for a variety of reasons outside the benefit of prostate health. The article assumes multiple partners with unknown sexual history. Again, weird!
Maybe the study was done with teenage boys?
Woo Hoo
“Sexual intercourse may not have the same effect because it increases the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, which could raise the risk of cancer, the Web site reported.”
Unless of course you are in a committed monogamous relationship with your wife! I agree with what Brad said.
Here’s a better solution: Get married and have frequent sex! Good news for all you husbands, show this to your wife.
Also, it doesn’t say that Having had a vasectomy debunks this whole theory. The plumbing has to actually be connected for it to flush. Just FYI.
I heard of this story last night on Conan O’Brian and wanted to research it on the Internet. After I read the report, I wanted to leave a funny comment on the blob, but all you guys beat me! (excuse the pun) Very, Very funny stuff!!
This is fantastic news — Rest assured I’ll be doing my part to avoid this horrible, horrible disease.
What a piece of liberal garbage!
“sexual intercourse may not have the same effect because it increases the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, which could raise the risk of cancer, the Web site reported.”
They assume that all sex takes place in bars between depraved hedonists who show no preference between males, females, and the barstool.
Marital intimacy WITH YOUR WIFE will lead to the same reduction in prostate problems (both enlargement AND cancer), there’s no risk of STD, and you don’t have to spill your seed in violation of the Holy Bible.
So i ges me and my buddy are pretty clean then. What about maybe 3-4 times… a day. is that good for your health too. Im sure glaxo smith kline will be quite happy with this test consider the sales of viagra are about 3 days away from making it into orbit. But i ges Chuck Norris wont die from prostate cancer.
The Church said it was a mortal sin…Who should I believe?
Well, let’s give those researchers a HAND!!!
i JACK OF WAY MORE THAN 5 TIMES A DAY AND ITS GOOD FOR ME!
Wow.So all those guys that through the years got fired for masturbating at terminals can now sue and get there job back?
Nice to know that when I take Mr.Wallace out and slap him around that I am getting a double dose of goodness for myself!
I told my wife that my doctor said I need to have sex every day in order to stay healthy. She told me to put her down for Tuesdays.
Who keeps stats on how many times men masterbate during the week.
“Men who frequently masturbate appear to have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer, Australian researchers reported.
Researchers from the Cancer Council of Victoria found that men who masturbated more than five times each week were one-third less likely to develop the cancer.”
Knock on wood, no pun intended, I’m cancer free, but my vision is failing.
Handy
Due to my belief in the Catholic faith, I have not masturbated since college and I am 43. Believe it or not not all people lie when they say they do not masturbate. You can stop if you want, assuming you do not spend most of you time watching t.v. and movies that excite you. There is no need for pornography if you chose to not masturbate. For those who want to masturbate, I know you aren’t going to believe what I write here, for those who might want to follow the teachings of the Catholic faith, you do not have to masturbate, nor believe it is inevitable.
I AM SAVED!!!!!!
If masturbation caused cancer then 90 % or more of Americans would come down with cancer. I’m 80, years young and have masturbated all my life, still do. So Please tell it like it is
Great news, Keep it coming.
American in the Philippines.
5 times a week? Good Lord, I am 52 years old!! I couldn’t make it happen that many times with a new, young, partner! I ain’t 40 any more ya know.
Sometimes Masturbation is the only game in town, but even if it’s not, there are times when it’s great just to have solo-sex, ether gender, as one doesn’t always have to worry about PERFORMANCE, PERFORMANCE, PERFORMANCE. Hell! Even if the big “M” caused cancer, which it doesn’t, Most of us wouldn’t give it up. Hell! At 80,years young it isn’t the big bang of youth, But it still feels great and many of us don’t have someone to come home to. Me I would like to see S.S.I., Or any other Retirement System include free Social-Companionship-Services for us Old folks. Put a needed body in our bed, and a smile on our head, And Gee! What more needs to be said?
You mean to say there are more stuff in drinking water other than prescription byproducts????
This is just terrible FoxNews! Shame on you. Every FoxNews fan is clearly deeply religious and God fearing and this article has no right being on this great site. It is a sin against God to masturbate and waste all those little life giving sperm. Masturbating is the same as abortion. Stop getting your information from the devil-worshipping homosexual websites. Do you think Rev Robertson and George Bush masturbate? NO! They live their life the way God wants everyone to live their life
I don’t think it was conincidence that the article “Megan Fox Tops FHM’s Sexiest Women List” was the link just above the spankin’ hank is healthy story. Talk about convenient.

Will masturbation during the prostate exam improve test results?
Wanker, I almost wet myself on this one. Wait a minute…wait for it…I actually did wet myself (sort of). Oh well, all in the name of good health!
To all you moralists, loosen up. Better yet, get a tight hold!
Im goin to live forever!!
uh oh Tommy,
It sounds like you’re at a higher risk than everyone else. You should have that ol’ prostate checked often… at least weekly or whenever your feeling blue.
yes this is true but they failed to report that all who masterbated eventually went blind.
Is this what’s known as ‘gripping journalism?’
Take two Playboys and call me in the morning.
Well, Well, Well, If that don’t beat all…. Maybe they should do a study on the percentage of married guys who already have the disease compared to the single, masturbating guys who don’t. That would be interesting. Maybe they would discover that Cancer is more likely caused by a stressfull environment than any, if any, physical activity.
Ladies…..
I will one up that – I had a different woman almost everyday and when I did not – I whipped it. Never had cancer. My Brother was different in every way. He had cancer.
The time frame for this was 1960 through 1989. I have no issues at 65 years old!
Why in the world was such a stupid, idiotic study ever done? Male researchers obviously just want another excuse for porn and for men wasting time getting off.

This story is just a bunch of fluff!!
Why give men an excuse for continuing to masturbate, lust after women, and generally darken their souls by publishing this article, FOXNews? I still struggle with masturbation every so often, and I don’t need another source to tempt me!
The Church does say that masturbation, when done intentionally, and when one realizes how serious of an offense it is to God, is a mortal sin. Therefore, Bob C, you should believe the Church, because the Church is all truth! If you can give up masturbation, lusting after women, pornography, prostitutes, etc. – you will be a much happier man, and the special woman you meet someday will be especially happy that she married such a Christ-like man (oh, unless she doesn’t believe in God, of course, and subscribes to the evil ways of the world).
I’ll keep posting stuff until somebody says something back. Why do so many of you make crude jokes about Playboys and, oh, let’s jerk off to some hot lady inside the magazine? You say, “Oh yeah, I’d like to get it on with that babe!” IT’S NOT FUNNY!!!! There are so many “exotic dancers” who start off in the porn industry because they think it’s an attractive field, that they’ll get some attention from men, make a little money … Then, before you know it, their life spirals out of control, they’re heroin addicts, they’re sticking needles into themselves, they’re prostitutes, rejects, victims, and on and on. I would cry if I was a woman, knowing how little selfish men like some of you regard women in general. They’re beautiful creatures, created in God’s own image, made to be loved and respected by men, NOT f****** objects!!! Some of you make me sick! Thank God, though, for those men out there who are better than this!
wooooweeeee I’m gonna live forever
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO I’M GONNA LIVE FOREVER
Well, beat my meet
The study sounds believeable, and I am glad it has been reported by mainstream media.
Thats what I’ve been telling my wife, but she would not go for it. sheeeeeeeeee wanted to be in the action.
i would like to know what said poisons are that collect in your prostate, also, i have heard that a large amount zinc is lost when you do this, is the loss significant enough to actually contribute to blindness?
I presume the same results apply if someone helps……

Does this mean I may now stop eating Kellogg’s Corn Flakes? I guess Onanism has its good points!
If the fluid discharged is a carinogen (cancer causing) a man whom has a vasectomy, isn’t this fluid then inside being obsorbed by other organs and then what ??
