Another Reason to...

Masturbate...

Australian researchers questioned over 1,000 men who had developed prostate cancer and 1,250 who had not about their sexual habits. Men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer later in life. The researchers suggest that ejaculating may prevent carcinogens accumulating in the prostate gland. The prostate provides a fluid into semen during ejaculation that activates sperm and prevents them sticking together. Dr. Graham Giles, of the Cancer Council Victoria in Melbourne, who led the research team said fewer ejaculations may mean the carcinogens build up. " It's a prostatic stagnation hypothesis. The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them."
