A new study suggests that young men (from 20 to 30) who frequently masturbate are less likely to get prostate cancer being older than their counterparts who prefer abstinence during the periods when they do not have a sex partner. The study was carried out by Australian scientists. It involved 1, 079 men who had cancer of the prostate gland and 1,259 healthy men. The men under research were asked to describe their sex lives and sex habits in detail. It was found out that men who frequently masturbated being in their twenties thus protected themselves against prostate cancer. The most interesting thing that a man should masturbate in his twenties - later masturbation is less effective. It is very important to note that the question is not whether a young man often ejaculates, but whether he ejaculates through masturbation. Ejaculation during sexual intercourse does not have as good protective effect, as sexual intercourse, because intercourse is fright with infections which increase risk of prostate cancer. Now that this research has been carried out, men who masturbate should not be ashamed of their habit. Masturbation is healthy!
