Lowering Prostate Cancer Risk
by
Strange but true, a recent study found that men who frequently masturbate appear to lower their risk of getting prostate cancer by a third.
Comment below.


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.

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.
