Will a man who 'cleans the pipes' regularly have fewer prostate and/or urinary problems?

Factual Questions
1

I’ve read Cecil’s column which mentions a consequence of not cleaning them,

But, have there been longterm studies affirming that either regular sex or self-gratification is healthier for a man, accounting for all other conditions (i.e. no heart problems that preclude excitement or sex)?

I’ve been a test study for this all my life… and I will continue the testing as long as my right hand works.

Good news! Frequency of … you know … is correlated with lower risk of prostate cancer:

So get busy! Er, so to speak.

Just a few weeks ago I had a major prostate enlargement crisis . . . an experience I NEVER EVER want to repeat. No matter how full my bladder, the only way I could produce more than a few drops of urine was to “clean my pipes” first. My partner was out of town, so I had to take matters into my own hands. So glad I can still do this at my age (66).

Here’s what the author of the aforementioned study has to say in a later paper on factors contributing to or lowering risks for prostate cancer:

My neighbour had a friend (in his late 60’s) who had a theory if you had a tug a few times a day you would never have a problem.

I don’t think he ever was really worried about his prostate. I think he liked the medicine.

So what is the percentage for people who ejaculate 60 or more times a month? I mean, I’ve heard of people doing that…from a friend.

Then you’ll switch to your left, right?

Of course. :slight_smile:

Aw, shoot. But it feels better when you wait longer between each… er, session!
