They say cancer-causing chemicals could build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly.
And they say sexual intercourse may not have the same protective effect because of the possibility of contracting a sexually transmitted infection, which could increase men's cancer risk.
Australian researchers questioned over 1,000 men who had developed prostate cancer and 1,250 who had not about their sexual habits.
They found those who had ejaculated the most between the ages of 20 and 50 were the least likely to develop the cancer.
The protective effect was greatest while the men were in their 20s.
Men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer later in life.

Hey I've been jacking off regularly since I was 12 and I'm 67 now (still doing it) and my doctor tells me my prostate is just wonderful. I'm not blind or crazy (yet) either so I guess my mom was wrong when she told me "Mikey will you stop playing with your weenie?". Uhhh...what was the question again?
