Here it is, straight from the mouth of Anthony Smith, deputy director of the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University in Melbourne: “…Men should be encouraged to masturbate."

So, guys, start wanking for a good cause: your own health.

According to Australian researchers, men can cut their risk of prostate cancer by a third if they masturbate more than 5 times a week.

The science is simple: carcinogens tend to concentrate in the prostate, and ejaculation flushes it out.

Another theory suggests that frequent ejaculation may make the prostate glands less susceptible to carcinogens in the first place.

Masturbation is the safest way to clean out the pipes, since sexual intercourse carries the risk of a sexual-transmitted infection.  In fact, having numerous sexual partners can actually increase the risk of developing prostate cancer by 40%.

The research comes from a poll of about 2000 men, half of whom had developed prostate cancer and half who had not.  Those who ejaculated the most were the least likely to have developed the disease.

So, guys, if you’re not doing it already, make masturbation part of your plan for good health.
