No, it doesn't blind you. And now medical researchers say it's not going to give you cancer either.
Frequent ejaculation during masturbation or sex, a new study has found, isn't associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer, laying to rest a popular misconception. In fact, it may even decrease the risks for certain people.
The research, published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, is based on surveys of nearly 30,000 men from 1992 to 2000. The mostly white males, ages 46 to 81, provided histories of sexual intercourse, nocturnal emission and masturbation during their twenties, forties and within the previous year.
Results showed no relationship between ejaculation frequency and prostate cancer for most categories.
In fact, men who reported frequent ejaculation over their lifetime--that's more than four to seven times per month, in case you're counting--had fewer overall cases of prostate cancer than those who ejaculated less often.
And those tireless individuals averaging 21 or more ejaculations a month over their lifetime showed only half the risk for developing the disease.
The researchers noted 38% of married people over 60 in the United States have sex one-to-four times per month, while 15% are sexually active at least five times per month.

21 or more ejaculations a month
That's 5 per week.
I guess that means I have to cut down.

It is my doctor prescription for my prostate! It should be covered by Blue cross - don't you think? Where are the "confort girls" to be issued for men better health.
Women have been urged to remend each others or examine each others breasts to check for breast cancer. guys should remind each others - hey Bob did you ejaculate today! Hey Bob, I know this clinic that has volunteer women to help men with their prostate health.

Big studies to prove common sense. Drinking lots of water is healthy because it flushes out your system more frequently, taking with it any impurities and exercising your system. The same should be true for the prostate.
To: glorgau
Agreed...
I think that we should be getting reference materials for better health too.
Now when my wife ask me what I'm doing in the shower...not only can I tell her it's mine...and I can wash it as fast as I want...I can tell her I'm washing real fast for my health too.

Since this study was released, I have cited it for my wife at least 6 dozen times.
