Masturbate daily to lube the prostate and prevent cancer.


Did you know that in medical circles prostate cancer is known as the
priest's disease? It's true.


Speaking as a physician, it is not true.

Risk of prostate cancer is higher in folks with higher testosterone
levels. Testosterone levels tend to be higher in folks that masturbate
(or are otherwise sexually active) than folks who aren't. Sorry.


This is what we're talking about. I'm sure more studies will follow.
