STUDY: MASTURBATION CAUSES CANCER

(Illseed News) A recent study will have men shaking in their boxers if they choked the chicken a bit too much in their younger years.

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have determined that men who masturbate often in their 20s and 30s are far more prone to developing prostate cancer.

The scientists surveyed 800 men and about half of them had suffered from prostate cancer.

The same data could be attributed to gentlemen that got their mack on frequently with the ladies, but the higher sexual activity was generally credited the act of self-love.

Ironically, men over 40 that jerk-off or shag a lot of babes can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Masturbation clearly needs a great publicist to stop this bad press.

  5. hahahhahaha…. we’re all gonna die one day

  6. Illseed…I don’t why you would even post this shit maine…..what the fuck is “often”??? Dudes need details maine!!! I guess every man is at risk for prostate cancer then, pretty much…..lol!!

  7. this comment above me not only brings me back to like 95 96 but is probably the most funny reply I have heard in a LONNNNG time. Thank you gottheanswer Thank you!

  8. Umm….i’m sorry but you DONT got the answer! Next time, say NUTTIN’ and just chill!!

    Sucks for you guys….hopefully they won’t come out w/no bullshit news about us ladies and ‘gettin’ 2 noe urself’ pleasuring!!!
    ;)

  9. NOOOOOOO!!!! lol j/p….a lil lol

  10. Please spell Masturbation correctly

  11. I don’t get it. Half the men they surveyed had prostate cancer, but how did they make that connection? I know prostate cancer kills more men then breast cancer kills women, but maybe that’s just something on it’s own. Of course, I don’t go to the University of Nottingham.

  12. Martin is always a classic. But damn I know some people just died for a few seconds

  13. Lol, I was one of those who just died. That took me back.

  14. OK. Let me guess. The Church authorized this study in some way or form. Remember, the bible says “though shall not spill thy seed.”

  15. it also causes misspelling (LOL)

  16. Masturbation ‘cuts cancer risk’

  20. I think that 800 men sample is small. I would like to see the data gathered from this study.
    Common sense tells us that if what you are saying is true, then we would have a serious population problem. I’ll continue enjoying the pleasures and benefits that I find in masterbation.

    • wtf benefits are in masturbation huh?

  21. So if im between 20-30 and jerk off like crazy- lets say once a day . then a will get cancer. So why dont i just keep jerking off until i get to my 40s and then i should be fine according to the paragraph

    Researchers at the University of Nottingham have determined that men who masturbate often in their 20s and 30s are far more prone to developing prostate cancer.

    Ironically, men over 40 that jerk-off or shag a lot of babes can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

  22. well damn…..

  23. lol…the lack of comments only confirms that a lotta ppl are scared right now

  24. considering the millions of men in the work.. 800 is not even 1% of the total population of men.

    I recently read an article that claimed less than 20% of the people in the world know about HIV/AIDS. Then… as I read through the article… I saw that they surveyed 1300 people… like .05% of the entire world population.

    I once read an article that claimed that the average male penis is 6-inches long. That test was based on a test that only had 11 male test subjects. I won’t believe that the male penis is 6-inches long based on a study that involved .000000000000000000001% of the world population of men.

  25. This is like the worst thing to read right after doing the deed.

  26. This can’t be true. I completely healthy, uh, wait! I gotta go.

  27. Ridiculous.

    Rush Limbaugh causes cancer.

  28. I’m dying then.. ohhh…

  29. Researchers make guesses when they conduct studies. These “guesses” are not conclusive. Studies are generally focused on a small percentage of the population, not the whole. Also, I find it hard to believe that masturbation causes prostate cancer in men. I think the study conducted is just a wild guess that has no merit like many other scientific studies.

  30. the study is a load of rubbish. sorry mate but it is.

  31. Of course given the 3 to 1 ratio of young women to young men in Nottingham you have to wonder how they found enough men for the survey. Perhaps they were all guys who couldn’t get a bit in a brothel and that common factor ……………..

  32. [...] di cek di sini untuk lengkapnya, artikelnya pake english, inggrisku gak bagus2 amat. jadi mohon maklum [...]

  33. That’s a load of bull. The penis and the prostate are two very different objects of the male anatomy. It’s okay to masturbate. I’ve done that (and climaxed) hundreds of times, and it doesn’t cause any health risk whatsoever. In fact, let me go so far as to tell you this. Masturbation is not only a cardio exercise, but it is also helps relieve tensions within your body. And one more thing. One in three men are going to develop prostate problems during their lives, so what’s masturbation got to do with any of this?

  34. its about sexual repression. if you get off to a good start in your teens, and then get stopped in your sexual self-acts because you are with a lady and she wouldn’t like you doing it yourself, but she also doesn’t let you on her often enough, the energy gets blocked and you get prostate cancer. if you keep going strong in your older years and keep the juice flowing you are fine. all guys i know with prostate cancer were sexually repressed!
    when you do it, do it right: http://www.jackinworld.com/library/articles/tantric.html

  35. OMG! i better stop than to get cancer! lolz

  43. a little research will show that there seems to be just as many studies showing quite the opposite

  44. I think there’s some confusion here between correlation and causation. The sexual activity in youth and the cancer later are part of the same phenomenon, it’s not that the former causes the latter. And there’s more solitary activity involved because there’s more opportunity to do it. The report doesn’t say that having high sex drive but “holding it in” is of any use, and the BBC report linked by a commentator above actually suggests the opposite!

  48. Right now if I listened to all the studies, I would be blind, have hairy palms, and now cancer. My dad, worked for this farmer. They had a lot of problems with rats on this farm. My dads job was to baitwell over a thousand traps and he was the best at his job. Yes, My dad I am proud to say, was the master baiter for that farm and lived to be a hundred. In his spare time, for fun,he also played the organ, noodled his noodle, yanked cranks, and spanked monkeys.

  49. Of course the study failed to mention that the 800 men studied smoked two packs a day, ate lots of fried fast food, drank to excess and all worked in an asbestos mine.

    Considering Nottingham has the most beautiful women in England what were these young lads doing anyway?

  50. :) ) Now, It’s the time to STOP that whimsy habit of guys. XDD
    Self-pleasure. Prrrftt. WILL Lead to Cancer! >:) hahha!

  51. Nothing like making sure that information gets turned into entertainment. Actually there were a significant number of problems with this study. If you want to make any serious attempt to understand it, you might want to read the article about this study on another WordPress blog!

  54. Could you maybe post a link to the actual article you got this info from? Cause it sounds like a whole lot of bullshit to me.

  55. I dropped off when my sex drive dropped off. 3 to 1 per day.

  56. Simply put:

    This is horseshit.

  57. well this is all bs if you look at that top picture with the muslced arm and the unmuscled… the muslced arm is obviously his more “familiar” arm that he used to “get familiar” the answer is obvious, use both arms to get familiar and you’ll get great excercise

  58. Hey Gottheanswer,

    You inbred mutha fucka get a life, thats not rapping thats crappin innit!!!

  59. lol…is it true?…well i hope the study was a mistake

  60. Actually, masturbation as much as possible is actually very healthy, do your research and actual study finds that masturbation helps “prevent” prostate cancer, not cause it. Don’t believe everything you read on the net, they are made up stories trying to scare men like us to get a reaction to their sites.

    Kev

  61. This made me laugh SO hard.
    Oh god, I feel terrible.

  62. Every advantage has some disadvatage in the universe. Don’t stop the safe and cheap method used by billions across the world

  63. I don’t plan to stop anytime soon either!

  64. I went to Catholic school in the 70’s, and the nuns were telling us this then. I think the scientists are a little behind the time.

  65. wtf i heard the opposite happened

  66. I always thought that masturbation was good for a guy after all imagine the consequences if men do not utilise a little self-love once in a while. Come on I remember somewhere that wanking relieves stress and what does stress cause?… yeah Cancer and other life threatening illnesses.

  67. [...] Oh sim! Genocídio felino. Como é era em latim? “Scidere felix.” De qualquer forma: Matar gatinhos. [...]

  68. Study also shows that if you want to live longer have a second wife.

  69. Well, you gotta die somehow…
    Might as well enjoy it.

    If you DON’T masturbate I imagine the likelihood of Prostate cancer SOARING!

  70. What’s disturbing the the jar of vaseline image. You can’t seriously use something like that – it’s not that slippery. It’s more of a butthole lube.

  71. At least I’m prepared to take myself in hand should cancer arrive….and we cub scouts thought it was manly to ‘take oneself in hand’. I’ll have to keep a tight grip on my…err…emotions having spent years with my sister’s underwear firmly to my face as I so manfully strangled the snake, drunk on her potent estrogen-charged panties. Why coudn’t I just smoke myself to death like normal people. I’d commit suicide, but I’m such a wanker I don’t really have time.

  72. fuck that. im not going to stop jackin off because of some dumb ass scientist. I will keep beating my monkey until im in my 100’s

  73. Then again masturbation makes you healthier and more fit. The high pulse you get is as good training as any other high pulse.

  74. I wanna know what kind of disease you get if you help the chick masterbate?

  76. LMAO I had an ex that would try to threaten me with sex by masturbating. I’m so glad I got rid of him!

    WOW…Thank you for this post!!!!!

  77. what is the difference between masterbation and masturbation?

  78. correlation does not equal causation

  79. LOL! Good luck to all guys out there. Save this blog entry and see you in 20 years if this will be true…hahaha…by then, kudos to you!

  80. Don’t you need a control group to compare the test subjects against in order to prove a theory? In which case, I’d like to see the size (perhaps the wrong word to use given the context…) of their control group – can’t be many who don’t practise self-love in their 20’s and 30’s!

  88. Wait! Is it the same for women? I mean, we masturbate too, does that increase risks of cervical cancer? And if you’re risks are increased from frequent sex as well as masturbating then what the fuck are you supposed to do? What is the alternative??!!

  89. This sounds like such bull. Like c’mon!! Seriously?? Half of the average man of today is going to be diagnosed with prostate cancer? Some of this sounds like a load… Like one guy said “Nothing wrong with getting to know one’s self.”

  90. PET Straps Production Line
    Our PET straps production line, which has broken through the traditional craft route, takes the 100% bottle slice for raw materials without any other complement and crystallization, adopts the advance technology to produce all kinds of polyester straps directly in a economical cost.

  91. Nowadays everything causes cancer

  92. hahaha…i’ll wait ma 40’s for shake ma chick by ma self

  93. Id like to know where they found a guy inhis 20s or 30s who DIDNT get off frequently?

  94. But, I’ve heard that stimulating the prostate actually reduces the risk. So I think straight guys just need to get over their hand ups and enjoy some anal loving. I for one love to strap it to my man every now and then ;)

  95. Phew! [heaves a sigh of relief] this is only for guys :-)

  98. To be fair, it didn’t really differentiate between sexual intercourse and masturbation in the initial study. Men who have high sexual appatites in their 20s are at a higher risk of prostate cancer. This effect may be mediated by sexual activity into your 40s.

    “High” sexual activity, I believe, was over 20 times a month. (Every day and a half.)

  99. [...] I came across today’s Hawt Post on the main page. If you haven’t seen it already it is this, which, through the magic of commenting and URL linkage I also ended up here . Which leads me to [...]

  100. Honestly, for a purely correlational study, a sample size of 800 isn’t bad. The thing is, it doesn’t really matter what the sample size is.

    They should be able to compare the two groups, using a test that will take their sample size into effect.

    To be published in a medical journal you usually need a p value of < .01. That means that there is a one percent chance that this is purely by chance.

    It doesn’t matter if they had an n of 15 or an n of 1000. The test takes it into account.

    I guess what I am trying to say is the sample size doesn’t matter. What we should be wondering is how big an effect this is. Does jerking it increase cancer rates by fifty percent, or by .5%? Tons of things cause cancer. Is this a major contributer?

  101. So then even us women? I don’t understand the article. I thought masturbation for you guys was a good thing! It’s hot when I hear about a guy taking care of his own. I think more of us women need to get busy with ourselfs and be less worried about what society thinks.

  102. yea….

  104. Oh dear god. :(

  105. Well this explains a lot. LOL I had cancer at 22 and I know I have done it m ore than my male friends. LOL I also got a male type cancer, Hodgkin’s Disease. LOL. Who knew that was the root of all my troubles, well cancer troubles anyway, I knew it was the cause of my other ones. LOL. This story is too hilarious thanks for the laugh.

  106. Humm….I think that men should keep up the fight. After all, prostate cancer does not usually kill a man and is usually developed in the mid to late 60s, so…reasonably, its like starving yourself all of your life.

    Now, that whole hairy palms thing is alittle scary! *laughing* ~~Dee

  107. Answer: Just keep masturbating (even more) way after 40 years old = nullifies the effect brought upon yourself when at 20-30 years old.

    =)

    Solved.

  108. If ‘roughing up the suspect’ is wrong- I don’t wanna be right!

  109. this is NOTHING but VASELINE advertising… smart..

  110. the study is far from conclusive and only suggests a correlation not causation. also as noted above, the sample size is far too small and relied on a survey not actual scientific examination. interesting though it is, i wouldnt put much weight behind it.

  111. I was under the impression that another study found a specific gene that indicates one’s susceptibility to cancer. From what I gathered, possessing this gene almost certainly guarantees that one will get some form of cancer in their lifetime. I would recommend someone does more research on this.

    If this is verified, it would explain why almost anything can be linked to cancer today – from masturbation to …well, breathing.

    But as I said, don’t take my word for it. :) Do your research.

  112. the good thing is that most of us only masturbate a lot before out 20s
    lol

  113. well I am in my late 40s so I must have reduced my chances quite a bit by now

  114. hahahahahaha xDD
    i’m gonna tell everyone!

  115. [...] So…a study shows that if you masturbate a lot, it can cause cancer. HAHA. Check it. My thoughts? Well….I didn’t exactly think that beating yourself was a GOOD thing. So [...]

  116. Some professional told me the exact opposite, so one of you is lying.

  117. I am not consciously lying morgangreenster I have just never heard about the study , we live in a world where statistics seem to matter and I think we should just live our lives the way we want to. You can’t live your life with fear , life’s way too short for that!!.

  121. I’m 24 years old and I jacking off since age of 14 or 16 (eveyday 3 or 4 time.)

    I hope nothing happen to me. (gulp.)

  122. This is a totally believable blog post. I like how you break down the study into it’s main core parts and show where the cancer is caused. I especially love the in depth interviews with the scientists including top doctors in England

    Bravo, great reporting here!

  123. screw that…there are very few things in life that make it all worth it. sooo..bring it on cancer.

  124. Correllation does prove causation. Were all 800 men working in a nuclear reactor or with hexavalent chromium? Perhaps they all spent their live’s working in asbestos factories and drank diet drinks from birth? Too many other factors.

    I heard on that said “Women who eat fish once a week during pregnancy have smarter babies”. WOW who remembers what they ate last week? I don’t. Women with baby brain don’t remember how to drive let alone what they ate 6 months ago. And define smarter anyways – especially in babies.

  125. o my Lord! lols

  127. HAHA,
    Actually masterbation is proven to make you live 10 years longer,, In fact if one masterbates daily, one is 50% less likely to die from poison.
    Masterbation releases ket anti-oxidants from the penis region, ones that are so powerful those who masterbate dont have to eat vegitables!!!
    The powers of masterbation are real, and unquestionable, and some religious scientists have attempted to bring down this fruit from the heavens. It seems that prostate cancer is being used as one of these vices, but dont listen, masterbation actually cures prosate cancer!!

  128. Well, as I am with 64 years and still have an active sexual life I will include also masturbation, due to medicals reason of course.

  129. that is bloody bad news if its true

  130. ROFL – Awsome post

  131. I don’t get it!

    Let’s decode this “Men who masturbate often in their 20s and 30s are far more prone to developing prostate cancer.” Fair enough. Let’s take that at face value! The same study says that men over 40 that masturbate can reduce the risk of prostate cancer. So as long as you masturbate a heck of a lot between 20-30 and remember to continue the practice past 40, you should be ok? This is science gone mad.

  132. Science is making great strides in clarifying these issues for us.

  133. I heard somewhere that the more that you Jerk off, than you stop prostate cancer or testicullar cancer.
    So now I’m confused.

  137. What is this “sex with other peepol” thing that I keep hearing aboot?

  141. OMG! Not again…when we think the we are moving forward…men in early 20’s 30’s are the ones who have sex more often, with or without masturbation. It’s just the hormones, marital status (being single) and its behaviour. So if we are going to develop cancer later on, its a mistery, but it is certainly not caused by sexual activity – what until now, was the miracle that reduced cancer, depression, and other diseases. What’s next?! No sex? No masturbation? No food? No eggs? No Coke?! (that some food can actually cause cancer i do believe….but sex…noooooooo) felipe

  143. Let’s see how they explain the results of this research.

  144. I actually just learned in my Human Sexuality class at the UofA that if you masturbated a lot during your youth (youth being 18 to 40 years of age) then you have a lesser chance of getting prostate cancer.
    I’m not saying you’re wrong…I’m just saying I learned something different.

  145. lol i think they asked 800 men with prostate cancer if they masturbated, and half of them confessed, the other half decided to lie! ;)

  146. Blimey

  147. [...] Researchers at the University of Nottingham have determined that men who masturbate often in their 20s and 30s are far more prone to developing prostate cancer. EEK! [...]

  148. I’m hittin 40 this year. Maybe i can bust off enough to counteract and balance it out. thank the lord for “Pinky” and them free 30 second clips!!!! (i’m quick o the draw. LMAO)

  149. That’s creepy. Im only 14 and I am worried. I dont do that stuff but that is a warning for me.

  150. Cancer is self-destruction at a cellular level. We should be asking why these individuals were masturbating so often. How did they view themselves? And what exactly are the stats related to this study?

  151. Ouh… I did choke my lamb a bit too much in the younger years (16~20s). Am I at high risk of having this Goat-FLU? My god! These researchers are wrong. They did not take into account the case seriously. I bet !

    -Lamb owner

  152. allbymyself has a point – if I keep doing it into my 40s I’ll be fine.

    “Don’t knock masturbation, it’s sex with someone I love.” – Woody Allen.

  153. Oh c’mon!

    I haven’t laugh this much from a long time ago after reading all of the comments here.

    And yeah, one of you is lying!

    Regards!

  154. Wow. according to this study, I’m going to get prostate cancer tomorrow.

    Epic fail. Correlation != causation.

  155. As I can’t go back to my young days and retrospectively unchoke the chook, I’m left with the alternative – makes a good pick-up line – “Help me avoid cancer…”

  156. Sounds like a load of rubbish. There’s no difference in the outcome of masturbation and intercourse, the latter of which is a neccessary to reproduce.
    And indeed a previous study showed the opposite, which is more logical in that it at least helps to clear the prostate periodically.

  157. if thats the case…I should be dead say….100 times by now.

  158. haha – i’ve jacked it five times today! I’m gonna be screwed!

  159. Well being over 40 its a new excuse to try on the wife. “Oh come on love, just a quick one, its to stop me getting protate cancer”………….. yeh! I’m doomed from both my youth and older age.

  160. So if you masturbate a lot now, and then a lot later, you’ve evened out your chances. :D

  170. Yeah right! Okay let’s see, choking the chicken has been going on for what, thousands of years, and only now do we hear this supposed danger? And what’s the difference if a guy is popping his own cork, or being serviced by someone else? Same physical activity, same result! So if this BS is correct, nearly every man who ever lived throughout history should have died a cancerous death! This “study” is BEEEEEEEEE SSSSSSSSSSSSS!

  171. I may hesitate to believe the conclusion of this research. Though I have a scientific background, I am skeptical about some research methods and findings.

  173. This is BS. What are you supposed to do, never masturbate. Every guy does it.

    It is impossible not to your brain will drive you insane otherwise.

    I guess the secret is to do it less. But I read that ti is actually healthy for the prostate?

    Typical puritan society nonsense.

  174. This post says exactly the opposite of what the study found. Go to the BBC link posted above.

  175. so what you’re trying to say is that rape prevents prostate cancer?

  176. that is very intresting very good observation and discovery

  177. THAT’S NOT TRUE THIS IS NOT TRUE> MASTURBATING CAN HELP PREVENT PROSTATE CANCER! WHAT A DUMBASS WHO WROTE THIS SHIT!

  178. Hmmm, guess I’d better conduct my own study – see you in 20 years – woooHoooo……

  179. I’m not worried, I never masturbated too often, no more than 3-4 times a day, usually.

    ” Makin’ the scene with a magazine… I’m not weird about it or anything (Masturbating in this instance). I don’t tie myself up first or anything.”

  180. masturbation more dangerous than cigarette or any addicted habbit….. as mentioned above (A recent study will have men shaking in their boxers if they choked the chicken a bit too much in their younger years.) ouch….!!! the only way to solve it… just create a kind of prevention for the next following generation after us. it’s mean break the trigger to avoid the habbit (public pornography consumtion)…..

  238. Scientifically speaking, you have stated the title wrong. Masturbation is highly correlated with prostate cancer. The word causes is misused here and in the media often. I actually have no desire to read the whole of the argument because of this.

    And everyone masturbates, maybe not all the way, but people touch themselves. Masturbation would have the same effect on the body as having sex that much. Consider a third variable that could be the ‘Cause’ of prostate cancer.

  239. what’s the big deal?

    dope kills, coke kills, crack kills, alcohol kills, smoking joins the club, even coffee is not safe.

  250. man..i need to repent!

  251. from BBC:

    Sex drive link to prostate cancer
    Prostate cancer may be linked to sex hormones

    Men who are more sexually active in their 20s and 30s may run a higher risk of prostate cancer, research suggests.

    The Nottingham University study quizzed 800 men on how often they had sex or masturbated.

    Those who were most active while younger had more chance of developing cancer later in life.

    The researchers said higher levels of sex hormones could lead to a bigger sex drive and the cancer, the journal BJU International reported.

    Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with well over 30,000 new cases diagnosed each year.

    It affects the prostate gland, which is found close to the bladder and makes a component of semen.

    The Nottingham team, led by Dr Polyxeni Dimitropoulou, recruited more than 400 men diagnosed with prostate cancer, then compared their answers to 409 men thought to be free of the disease.

    As well as questions about how often they had been sexually active from puberty onwards, they were asked how many sexual partners they had had and whether they had been diagnosed with any sexual infections.

    Roughly the same proportion of both groups, 59%, said they had engaged in sexual activity 12 times a month or more in their 20s, falling to 48% in their 30s, 28% in their 40s and 13% in their 50s.

    Almost two-fifths of the prostate cancer group had had six female partners or more, compared with less than a third of the non-cancer group.

    Frequency risk

    There was also a difference among the men who masturbated or had sex the most often, with 40% of men in the cancer group being sexually active 20 times a month or more in their 20s, compared with 32% in the non-cancer group.

    The gap between the two groups narrowed as the men aged, suggesting that the difference was strongest at a younger age.

    Dr Dimitropoulou said: “What makes our study stand out from previous research is that we focused on a younger age group than normal and included both intercourse and masturbation at various stages in the participants’ lives.”

    He said that it was possible that higher levels of sex hormones in some men were both responsible for a high sex drive in their 20s and 30s, and for the development of prostate cancer later on.

    “Hormones appear to play a key role in prostate cancer and it is very common to treat men with therapy to reduce the hormones thought to stimulate the cancer cells.”

    She said that the reasons why the connection between sexual activity and prostate risk appeared to diminish with advancing age was not clear, although other studies have suggested that sexual activity releases toxins from the gland.

    John Neate, chief executive of The Prostate Cancer Charity, said that while the study was useful, its findings would need to be backed by more evidence before they could be accepted

    He said: “The role of sexual activity is becoming an increasing focus for prostate cancer research but unfortunately this study does little to offer any practical advice to men wishing to reduce their risk of the disease.

    “The study is retrospective, and asks men to complete a questionnaire about their sexual history.

    “However, in relying on men to recall information from 20 or 30 years previously, it is likely that there will be some inaccuracy in the data collected as men either consciously or unconsciously forget some detail which could compromise their findings.

    “The sample used in the study is also relatively small, making it difficult to draw any universal conclusions.”

  252. it cause pimples on your face, but hey, this is totally wierd !

  253. man i need to repent

  254. Scary

  255. As Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers sang: “Whack Fol the Fiddle.”

  256. Actually Traditional Chinese Medical theory has something to say about this issue. It is somewhat true that ‘excessive’ sexual activity can cause earlier and less graceful aging.

    But that leaves us with the questions – what is ‘excessive,’ and even what is ’sexual activity?’ Turns out masturbation without ejaculation is not a problem. It is actually excessive ejaculation that overburdens the system. And young men are fairly safe actually ejaculating one ore more times per day, whereas more middle aged or aging men should keep it to a few times per week.

  263. Anyhow how is the penis going to know, if we are ejaculating by masturbation, or having intercourse with someone. The effect is same for it. That means those having sex b/w the age of 20 and 30 expose themselves to same sort of risk..

  264. This is a conspiracy by religious organizations. They are advocating non-wastage of seed to increase their populations, thereby improving their chances of becoming a majority and getting ahead in electoral polls and influencing policy to create an elitist society.

  276. my prostate has just exploded. I’m doomed.

  277. Wow this is really interesting. Though the comments, like most comments of great articles dissapoint me. A lot of… “hype”. A lot of joking around and “yeah right”… Ironically, I’m tempted to joke “If I marry a man some day, remind me not to shag him until/unless he’s a little over 40.” Anyhow geeze people. No need to flail your arms at men who choke it. It can be a good habit in some ways, in some situations. Even at 15 I’m not stupid enough to just overlook that, cause I may or may not think “it’s nasty”. If you’re skeptical of this entry, then go do research yourself and find out if it’s right. Leaving a “this is a load of crap” comment is just ignorant. Why not find out yourself if it’s true rather than huffing and walking away mad because you know you did it 5 times a day at 20, eh? And then see if you can’t do anything to help yourself if your at risk for prostate cancer. Not having cancer or clinging to skepticism… choices, choices. I’d do my own research about this, and tell you if I thought it was a crap article, but It really isn’t anything I think I need to know. Heh. Best comment I see so far: “Heute schon onaniert? Veröffentlicht in Freitag 30. Januar 2009 von Magic M. …aber vorsicht das könnte gefährlich sein. ” (the beginning of the pingback that’s in German. “Have you already beaten you’re meat today? Caution, that could be dangerous.” Way to beat around the bush, buddy. …please don’t interpret that as a pun. Blunt, to-the-point statements as introductions are hilariously very effective sometimes. How could one not read on after that…? That’s award-winning. I wish I understood all the words, so I could read this German “version” of the entry.)

  285. [...] that shows what blessing that you will get with excessive usage of your dolphin. Get your blessings HERE and make sure you continue reading the comments that have been [...]

  286. free humanity is doomed. Is this research funded by vatican?

  287. As a person said earlier, 800 is a very small sample size to be using for a study like this. How many men masturbate across the world? How many of those men have prostate cancer? Why is the actual figure out of proportion with the results of this study? This leads me to believe that either Nottingham masturbators are prone to prostate cancer for some reason or that the researchers *selected* people with prostate cancer to get publicity. The latter seems more likely.

    People should really stop using sensationalist headlines like “STUDY: MASTURBATION CAUSES CANCER” and start *asking questions* about the study in question. And, there is always the logical fallacy of cum hoc ergo propter hoc (correlation does not imply causation). Don’t forget this.

  288. If you hold your desire to masturbate, your sperms deposit will be freeze and crystaliizing …ha..ha..ha
