The BBC is reporting on a Nottingham University study that polled 800 men on how often they had sex or masturbated.
The result is scary: the more you want it the more likely you may be to get prostate cancer.
The study found that those subjects who were most sexually active at younger ages had more of a chance of developing cancer later in life. The researchers concluded that higher levels of sex hormones could lead to both the sex drive and the cancer.
So, it’s probably not the sex causing the cancer, but the hormones might give you both the drive and the disease.
“Hormones appear to play a key role in prostate cancer,” Dr Polyxeni Dimitropoulou, the study leader, told the BBC.
Prostate cancer is one of the leading health concerns among men. It’s the most common cancer in men in the UK, with over 30,000 new cases each year.
The years between 20 and 40 are critical to men. Having an active
sex life in that time period, can protect men against prostate cancer later
in life.
The prostate gland, like any other gland in the body must function
in order to maintain good health. The prostate gland, is healthiest,
when it can be emptied on a regular basis to remove the possibility, that
toxins can build up and cause cancer.
Prostate cancer does not begin in later life.
Prostate cancer really begins early in life, and is detected in
later life.
Women develop breast and uterine cancer for similar reasons.
It is natures way of eliminating unproductive individuals from the
breeding community, and allowing more of possible scarce rescources to
go to more productive individuals.
The case for too much sex causing prostate cancer is weak at best,’
with so many other studies indicating that infrequent sex can promote the
development of the cancer.
Sex, is a natural part of life, like eating, sleeping, and breathing.
You don’t avoid sex without consequences.
