And, linked at the bottom of that last article, is another great men’s health item, Once a day keeps prostate cancer away? Especially relevant, since prostate cancer runs on my dad’s side of the family.

There was a study last year in Australia, that said frequent ejaculation helps prevent prostate cancer in men. Another bigger study was just done, which confirmed these findings.

The study suggested that frequent ejaculations may decrease the concentration of “chemical carcinogens which readily accumulate in prostatic fluid” and may reduce the development of crystalloids “which have been associated with prostate cancer in some.”

…“The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them,” Graham Giles, lead author of the earlier study said at the time.

Hear that everybody? Go “nuts,” so to speak. Whoohoo! An activity that’s both healthy AND fun? Finally, science and I are on the same page.
