If frequent ejaculation is flushing out carcinogens, then what’s happening to those who…ah…swallow? :eek: ---

I’ve found that sitting on your hand for a while turns it numb. This is the best way to get a stranger to lend a helping hand. ---

[QUOTE=pbbth] I masturbate all the time to keep my prostate healthy. As a woman I feel the health of my prostate is one of the most important issues I will face in my future. Okay, so I don’t have a prostate, I just like touching myself and would like to have some kind of health benefit for it. 😃 [/QUOTE] Actually, a double benefit: It increases your heart rate and respiration, and that’s always healthy – kind of like aerobics, only your legs don’t get so tired. Plus, if you take video of youself and post it on the web, us guys can use the video to improve \*our \* prostate health. Yup, everybody’s a winner! ---

Seriously though, the line about intercourse is not as safe because of the risk of STDs is bullshit. Men in stable, monogamous relationships should be just fine. ---

[QUOTE=KneadToKnow] What about those of us in kinky, monogamous relationships? [/QUOTE] I don´t think stable excludes kinky. An in the stable relationship may be kinky depending on the amount of riding tack and whips involved. A relationship with the stable hand may exclude monogamous, and with a stable hand is unlikly to result in ejaculation, so these are best avoided.
