Backing up the results of a previous study<\/a>, a new US study confirms that frequent ejaculation is corellated with reduced prostate cancer rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The US study, which followed nearly 30,000 men over eight years, showed that those that ejaculated most frequently were significantly less likely to get prostate cancer. […] In the US study, the group with the highest lifetime average of ejaculation – 21 times per month – were a third less likely to develop the cancer than the reference group, who ejaculated four to seven times a month.
\n[…] Men of different ages varied in how often they ejaculated, so the team used a lifetime average for comparisons. Compared to the reference group who ejaculated four to seven times a month, “each increase of three ejaculations per week was associated with a 15 per cent decrease in the risk of prostate cancer”, says Leitzmann.
\n“More than 12 ejaculations per month would start conferring the benefit – on average every second day or so,” he says.<\/p>\n
