LACK OF "O" AND CANCER RISK

[mperez]

I usaully avoid "O" because all the negative effects but according to the note below there is a prostate cancer risk assosiated to the lack of "O", do you know someting about this issue?


Sex Reduces Prostate Cancer Risk

Frequent ejaculations, especially in 20-something men, may reduce the risk of prostate cancer later in life, Australian researchers reported in the British Journal of Urology International. When they followed men diagnosed with prostate cancer and those without, they found no association of prostate cancer with the number of sexual partners as the men reached their 30s, 40s, and 50s.

But they found men who had five or more ejaculations weekly while in their 20s reduced their risk of getting prostate cancer later by a third.

Another study, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that frequent ejaculations, 21 or more a month, were linked to lower prostate cancer risk in older men, as well, compared with less frequent ejaculations of four to seven monthly.

mperez --

Since there are major extenuating circumstances with POIS and ejaculation -- this research may not be applicable at all to men with POIS. This is sort of like saying, "Forget the broken leg -- keep running 30 minutes/day."

Are you able to provide the links to those two studies so that we can read them? These may be quite difficult to find, since the specific titles, dates and authors aren't mentioned.

For everyone's benefit -- it's never a good idea to accept the result of a study until reading the study yourself.  Magazines and newspapers frequently resort to this type of reporting simply to interest readers and sell their stuff. They end up influencing their readers inappropriately with information that is incomplete and sometimes damaging.  

Please don't let these one-line summaries of studies worry you -- at all! Nothing is known about POIS, so studies involving the benefits of frequent ejaculation in men who don't have POIS are likely to not be pertinent to men with POIS.  

It's easy to become alarmed by these headlines -- but there's no need for alarm here.
