If you think you can't survive without sex, you might be right.
Several studies suggest that frequent ejaculation over many years may cut prostate cancer risk. In one US study, 29,000 men, ages 46 to 81, were asked their history of sexual intercourse and masturbation between the ages of 20 and 49.
Researchers analysed the data and found that the group of men who reported 21 orgasms per month had much lower risk of prostate cancer than those who had 7 or fewer ejaculations per month.
The researchers speculated that the protection may come from the two factors: ejaculation may drain carcinogenic secretions from the prostate, plus, the stress-reduction benefit from orgasm may limit potential harmful substances that could trigger cancer.
And it doesn't just stop cancer. An Irish study published in the British Medical Journal that men who had the highest frequency of orgasms had a death rate 50% lower than men who did not ejaculate frequently. Taking care of your health has never been so much fun, right?
