Emission Control and Mental, Spiritual, and Physical Health Part 7
An Ejaculation a Day Keeps the Oncologist Away
This now famous research project led by Michael Leitzmann, a cancer researcher at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, was an epidemiological study of 30,000 American men. The study involved men who participated in a health professionals follow-up study during the years 1992 to 2000. The subjects were predominantly white and 46 years of age or older, and were surveyed about their ejaculation frequency at the time that they were 20-to-29 years of age, 40-to-49 years, and during the year of the study. Ejaculations included sexual intercourse, nocturnal emissions, and masturbation. The volunteers provided comprehensive health and lifestyle data every two years until the study concluded in 2000.
Leitzmann’s findings were that in comparison to the study’s baseline ejaculatory frequency of between 4 and 7 times a month for most of their adult life:
–Men who ejaculate between 13 and 20 times a month had a 14% lower risk of prostate cancer
–Men who ejaculated upwards of 21 times a month had a 33% lower lifetime risk of prostate cancer than the baseline group.
The results seemed to survive rigorous statistical evaluation even after other lifestyle factors were taken into account. Is this a case of more is better? © 2009 Keith Hall & inner-tranquility.com. All rights reserved.
