MEN ONLY: An orgasm a day may keep cancer away

Regular ejaculation reduces risk of prostatecancer
One out of seven men will get prostate cancer
Unfortunately, most of the risk factors have to
do with age, race, and family history, so they
are not modifiable. But new research suggests
that daily orgasms will reduce the risk of
prostate cancer by over 20 percent. From The
Telegraph:
The study data showed that the participants
who ejaculated more than 21 times a month
were at a 22 per cent lower risk of getting the
disease. As for how men achieved ejaculation,
it is not a requirement to have a sex partner.
Whether it be sexual intercourse, nocturnal
emission, or masturbation, all are beneficial.
From an interview with Dr. Jennifer Rider of
Harvard Medical School, who conducted the
research:
The current study is the largest prospective
study to date on ejaculation frequency and
prostate cancer. It includes 18 years of follow-
up of almost 32,000 healthy men, 3839 of
whom later were diagnosed with prostate
cancer. We asked men about their average
monthly frequency of ejaculation between the
ages of 20-29, 40-49, and in the year prior to
the questionnaire (1991).
We find that frequency of ejaculation
throughout life course is inversely associated
with risk of prostate cancer at all three of
these time points. For instance, men who have
an average monthly ejaculation frequency of
21 or more times/month at ages 40-49 have a
statistically significant 22% reduction in risk
of developing prostate cancer compared to
men with a frequency of 4-7 times/month,
adjusting for multiple dietary and lifestyle
factors, and prostate cancer screening history.
Dr. Rider adds: “While these data are the most
compelling to date on the potential benefit of
ejaculation on prostate cancer development,
they are observational data and should be
interpreted somewhat cautiously.”-culled from

History Of Otun Ekiti Tradition has it that the Oore emerged from the Okun Moba (Moba Sea) in the present coastal area of Lagos with a Calabash containing water in his hand, beads around his neck and a beaded crown on his head.
