This is not cool. I thought sex and masturbation were healthy!!

12 times a month is frequent (for men in their 20s)

Quote :

"-59% of the men in both groups said that they had engaged in sexual activity (intercourse or masturbation) 12 times a month or more in their twenties. This fell steadily as they got older, to 48% in their thirties, 28% in their forties and 13% in their fifties. -39% of the cancer group had had six female partners or more, compared with 31% of the control group. -Men with prostate cancer were more likely to have had a sexually transmitted disease than those without prostate cancer. -More men with prostate cancer fell into the highest frequency groups in each decade when it came to sexual activity (intercourse and masturbation) than men in the control group. 40% of men in the cancer group fell into the highest frequency category in their twenties (20 or more times a month) compared to 32% in the control group. Similar patterns were observed in the men’s thirties and forties. By the fifties it had evened out, with 31% in each group falling into the most frequent category (ten or more times a month). -Men with prostate cancer were also more likely to masturbate frequently than men in the control group, with the greatest difference in the twenties (34% versus 24%) and thirties (41% versus 31%). The differences were less pronounced in their forties (34% versus 28%) and by the fifties the cancer group was slightly lower (25% versus 26%). "

EDIT: Ok it looks like the most frequent group is 20 or more times a month.

Yeah wtf 12 times would not be considered frequent IMO.

1/29/2009 4:31:11 PM

Everything causes cancer, everything kills. I'm fine with that.

1/29/2009 4:39:40 PM

Well, I'm fucked.

1/29/2009 4:40:10 PM

^ditto.

1/29/2009 4:41:19 PM

Ok to cheer everyone up (although this is from 2004, but does have a much larger sample population):

""In this prospective cohort study among predominantly white men, higher ejaculation frequency was not related to increased risk of prostate cancer. Our results suggest that high ejaculation frequency possibly may be associated with a lower risk of total and organ-confined prostate cancer. These associations were not explained by potential risk factors for prostate cancer, such as age, family history of prostate cancer, history of syphilis or gonorrhea, smoking, and diet," the authors write."

So what do we get from all this? If we jack off, ejaculate?

What is the highest frequency group?

Is it the 12 times a month group, or is it higher than that?

1/29/2009 5:10:40 PM

i'd rather get cancer than not bust a nut.

1/29/2009 5:13:02 PM

no shit...i'll take my chances. busting a nut has got to be a daily occurrence.

1/29/2009 5:21:45 PM

i sent my wife this link and she said too bad

Did you guys not know? Sex is only supposed to be used for procreation. Once or Twice per month MAX during the peak of your Wives ovulation cycle. Otherwise god gets angry.

1/29/2009 5:38:48 PM

So glad I'm not a man.

I'm sure I'd be in the high risk category...sometimes 2X a day isn't enough.

Well, I'm fucked.

1/29/2009 6:35:13 PM

So 50 times a month is a problem?

1/29/2009 6:53:21 PM

move to chit-chat?

1/29/2009 6:55:08 PM

^that would be good. Wanted it to be taken seriously, but whatever. Shit is scary. Although that other study i posted later was kinda contradictory. Who knows.

1/29/2009 6:56:10 PM

btt

Anyone read that second article i posted? It stated that there was no trend in more ejaculation leading to prostate cancer, and even suggested that more ejaculation lead to a decrease in risk of prostate cancer. I think everyone is just crazy.

1/29/2009 7:20:49 PM

LOL @ all the pervs trying to defend whacking off twice a day because they have nothing better to do.

1/29/2009 7:21:28 PM

Well, I'm fucked.

1/29/2009 7:21:36 PM

I've had cancer and I'm about to go bust a nut.

that's what I had heard, and make sure to do it 10-12 times/day. No prostate cancer here plz

1/29/2009 7:23:01 PM

Question, what is the most # of times you've busted a nut in a day or 24 hour period, inclusive of masturbation and sex? I think I got 4 one time, but that would probably be my personal best.

We weren't only talking about masturbation. Any sexual encounter including sex.

^you mean sex and masturbation in a 24 hour period? Jeez like 6-8 maybe. Long distance relationships ftw.

1/29/2009 7:29:00 PM

sweet, I can still masturbate all I want


On a semi related note, my organic chem professor today asked if he could "rub this out." lawl

At 16: 3 times in 1/2 hour (masturbation)

At 28: 4 times in 20 hours (sex)

1/29/2009 9:19:51 PM

wow. i feel pretty un-horny

i think twice in 30 minutes for whacking or sex is about my limit

1/29/2009 9:21:14 PM

we talkin orgasm or ejaculation here?

1/29/2009 9:24:14 PM

I don't think I masturbate.

1/29/2009 9:26:13 PM

BOTH.

But seeing as how they go together for > 99.9% of the population, it doesn't matter.

(But yeah, orgasm is the main thing)

1/29/2009 9:27:24 PM

well, since i do not masturbate i do not have to worry about prostate cancer

1/29/2009 9:28:00 PM

well im fucked

WHAT. Simply not true. Male multiple orgasms. You guys gotta learn your stuff.

Women love it too. Gives them more satisfaction. All about that PC muscle.

^^ you need to read my post again. i didn't deny multiple orgasms, nor the fact that you can orgasm without ejaculating and ejaculate without orgasming.

1/29/2009 9:59:34 PM

^oh i know. I was being partially sarcastic to the fact that 99.9 is too high. Guys need to learn.

"431 prostate cancer cases and 409 controls participated and provided information on their sexual activity"

Why do they even publish these crap studies?
They have almost no value what-so-ever, (except in the fields of journalism and politics, that is...)

Of course, for the last 8 years, much of america has pretty much ignored science altogether....

1/30/2009 12:25:51 AM

As a rule in academic writing, if I find the words "can," "would"/"could," "might," or "possibly," I re-evaluate my primary sources.

1/30/2009 12:27:25 AM

so if you are married and fuck 12 times a month you can expect the same result? huh? ya right
