Masturbation Prevents Prostate Cancer

Filed under: Health, Daily Living

Australian researchers found out that frequent masturbation may help men cut their risk of contracting prostrate cancer. Carcinogens build up in the prostrate if men do not ejaculate regularly and that is according to BBC News.

According to the study, men who ejaculated the most between the ages of 20 and 50 were the least likely to get cancer. Men who ejaculated more than five times each week were a third less likely to develop cancer.

Sexual intercourse, though, is not counted because it increases the risk of getting sexually transmitted disease, and that can raise the risk of cancer.

Users fight to save Windows XP

Filed under: News updates

Microsoft Corp.’s operating systems run most personal computers around the globe and are a cash cow for the world’s largest software maker.
