Researchers from the Cancer Council of Victoria found that men who masturbated more than five times each week were a third less likely to develop the cancer.

The study surveyed 1,000 men who developed prostate cancer and 1,250 men who did not, between the ages of 20 and 50, it is reported by PlanetOut.

Researchers told the BBC last week that the prostate produces one of the fluids involved in ejaculation and that frequent masturbation appears to flush out carcinogens.

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, it is reported.

[So much for all those questions from women complaining about their men taking care of their prostate. :-) ]

This news is really a shame.

Melbourne women are so, so cute. Prostate health or not, I'd just have to choose a gorgeous Wonder from Down Under over my hand, any day or night.

Erica,

But it's not good for your prostate ;-p

Tony,

If my risk of prostate cancer drops a third if I masturbate at least 5 times per week, does that mean if I masturbate at least 15 times a week my risk of prostate cancer drops to zero?

I wonder how much the study subjects paid to be in that study.
