Recent studies have revealed some surprising benefits of frequent ejaculation for men. While orgasms are often associated with pleasure, it turns out they could also play a role in reducing the risk of prostate cancer. The findings suggest that ejaculating at least once a day can significantly decrease the likelihood of developing this disease. In fact, one study found that men who ejaculated 21 times a month had a 20% lower risk of prostate cancer compared to those who ejaculated four to seven times a month.
The study, published in European Urology, followed a group of 32,000 men for 18 years and found that the more frequently they ejaculated, the lower their risk of cancer. This was also supported by a separate study conducted by Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women Hospital, which found that daily ejaculation, whether through masturbation or intercourse, was an effective way to reap the benefits.
Although experts are not entirely sure why this is the case, they have theorized that ejaculation may help flush out harmful chemicals that can build up in semen and potentially damage the prostate. Dr. Anne Calvaresi, chair of the Urology Care Foundation's Prostate Health Committee, suggests that men who ejaculate more frequently may also have healthier lifestyle habits, which could contribute to their lower risk of prostate cancer.
If you're looking to increase your orgasm quota, certified sexologist and sex expert Dr. Gigi Engle has some interesting suggestions for spicing up your solo masturbation. She recommends involving the prostate, either on your own or with a partner, as it can lead to a full body orgasm and a tingly sensation all over.
Dr. Engle also suggests using a masturbation sleeve, specifically the Tenga Flex, which has a ribbed and grooved design for maximum pleasure. It's also made with high-quality materials for easier disinfection. And for those experiencing a lack of sexual drive, she recommends trying different locations outside of the bedroom to add a sense of novelty and excitement.
Prostate cancer, a disease where cells in the prostate grow uncontrollably, is a common concern for men as they age. However, not all cases require treatment, as some types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may not affect lifespan. On the other hand, aggressive types of prostate cancer can spread quickly and require immediate treatment.
In the UK, about 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. While the exact cause is still unknown, there are certain risk factors that may increase the chances of developing this disease, such as age, family history, and race. It's important for men to be aware of these factors and to regularly check for any changes in their prostate health.
