    A wink a day keeps the doctor away

    Most on here should be pretty safe, but reinforcing the message shouldn't harm...

    An orgasm a day could keep prostate cancer away, scientists claim - Telegraph

    I have five a day, just to be sure.

      The results part of the paper says:

      Ejaculation frequency was inversely associated with age, but positively associated with BMI, physical activity, divorce, history of sexually transmitted infection, and consumption of calories and alcohol. Having had a PSA test by 2008, total number of PSA tests, and frequency of prostate biopsy were similar across categories of ejaculation frequency, but differences in prostate cancer treatment were apparent. After controlling for potential confounders, higher monthly ejaculation frequency was associated with a statistically significant decreased risk of total prostate cancer compared to the reference group at every time period. The hazard ratios (95% CI) comparing at least 21 ejaculations/month to 4-7 ejaculations/month were 0.81 (0.72-0.91; p-trend<0.0001) at age 20-29; 0.78 (0.68-89; p-trend<0.0001) at age 40-49; 0.75 (0.61-93; p-trend=0.0007) in 1991; and 0.66 (0.52-0.83; p-trend<0.0001) for the lifetime average. The associations were driven by organ-confined and low-grade prostate cancer. Results were not modified by erectile dysfunction, vasectomy or PSA screening.

          It won't keep the deadly cancers away, but 21 orgasms a month means a lower risk of getting the other cancers than if you only have 7 orgasms a month (when averaged over a population - for you, such is the way of statistics and biology - it might increase the chances for all we know).

                  I assumed they were all subs when MrsBP is around.....

                  MF popped round the other day. MrsBP said she preferred cancer.

                    Ejaculation frequency was... positively associated with BMI... consumption of calories and alcohol
                    So all I have to do to counter my old fart loss of libido is get fat and drink more booze? Excellent.
