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

Yoga and celibacy key to living long according to Indian oldest man

Looking remarkably unlined for his claimed 120 years, an Indian monk who says he is the oldest man to have ever lived puts his longevity down to no sex or spices, and daily yoga. Hindu monk Swami Sivananda was born on August 8, 1896, according to his passport. If true, his life would have spanned three centuries, but despite his apparent age he remains strong enough to perform yoga for hours at a time. He is now applying to Guinness World Records to verify his claim. It currently lists Japan’s Jiroemon Kimura, who died in June 2013 aged 116 years and 54 days, as the oldest man to have ever lived. India’s passport authorities confirmed Sivananda’s age from a temple register, the only record many Indians even decades younger have of their date of birth. However it would be extremely difficult to independently verify his age. Sivananda was featured by local media earlier this summer, with the Times of India noting he looked 50 years younger than his apparent age but ...
