Regular Sex Lowers The 'Chance Of Prostate Tumors By 20%'

According to a research done by some researcher from Harvard Medical School revealed that men who have regular orgasms are less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer as regular ejaculation throughout their lives reduces the risk of the disease, scientists discovered.

The researchers said they could not explain why orgasms could lower prostate cancer risk, adding further research is necessary. However it has previously been suggested that regular orgasms may flush out cancer-causing chemicals in the prostate. Another theory is that if sperm is regularly cleaned out to allow new cells to develop, it helps stop the build-up of old cells that might be more likely to turn cancerous. The prostate is a small satsuma-sized gland located between a man's penis and his bladder. Its main function is to produce a thick white fluid that is mixed with the sperm produced by the testicles, to create semen.

The Harvard study is the largest to date to examine the frequency of ejaculation and related prostate cancer risk. The researchers found that men in the 40 to 49 age bracket who ejaculate 21 or more times a month reduced their risk of prostate cancer by 22 per cent.

Another research says that men who sleep with multiple women are almost a third less likely to develop the disease. Researchers at the University of Montreal found men who have more than 20 notches on their bedpost slashed their risk of prostate cancer by 28 per cent. And the study also revealed that men who have slept with more than 20 women reduced their chances of getting the most aggressive tumours by 19 per cent. The research was published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology.
