Researchers claim that while an orgasm provides pleasure during sex, there is a hidden benefit.
Once a day will reduce the risk of prostate caner by nearly a quarter.
It also provides a number of health benefits such as a boost in immunity, better sleep, and can even protect against heart disease.
Doctors say that sex itself is not required, just an orgasm.
What they found was that if a male ejaculates at least once a day, the likelihood of developing prostate cancer are very low.
The study data showed that the participants who ejaculated more than 21 times a month were at a 22 per cent lower risk of getting the disease. As for how men achieved ejaculation, it is not a requirement to have a sex partner. Whether it be sexual intercourse, nocturnal emission, or masturbation, all are beneficial.

kentauros
(29,414 posts)stating a similar result (it was specific to the number of orgasms, just daily masturbation.)
Not unexpected, another "study" was released within a couple of months stating the exact opposite of the first study. I don't know who funded that one, but I think we can all make accurate and educated guesses as to who was behind it

(5,764 posts)Do you have a link?
kentauros
(29,414 posts)But, it was posted in LBN in the timeframe I mentioned. You should be able to search it
kentauros
(29,414 posts)because the comments on such topics are usually legendary Maybe it was elsewhere on DU.
Anyway, here's the study that was likely posted, as it's the only one I've seen that did find masturbation may increase the risk for prostate cancer:
by Live Science Staff | January 26, 2009 07:27am ET
And a great analysis on why that study was seriously flawed:
Some don't masturbate, but if you do, its fine, even daily, even if coupled.

(5,764 posts)One of the findings highlighted, is that those who developed prostate cancer, were more likely to have had a sexually transmitted disease.

(8,385 posts)my husband should have vastly reduced his risk of prostate cancer, but got it.
VASTLY reduced.

I hope his treatment goes well

(6,342 posts)You can take the environment and lifestyle completely out of the equation and still get cancer because of random mutation or genetics....things you can't control.
Good luck with your fight, by the way.
