BBC NEWS | Health | Masturbation 'cuts cancer risk': "Men could reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer through regular masturbation, researchers suggest.

They say cancer-causing chemicals could build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly.

And they say sexual intercourse may not have the same protective effect because of the possibility of contracting a sexually transmitted infection, which could increase men's cancer risk."

Or being venially in trouble. But I'll avoid real disease by risking fake dilemma every day of the week. Well, every other day, maybe.

Hell, that was mentioned in a movie or a book - GODFATHER or GOODFELLAS - years ago. Words to live by.

As Senor Ortega said to Claudette Colbert in "Without Reservations" (1946), "Love and violence go hand in hand."

And I thought the hairy palms were because I was born in West Virginia:

Never seen The Godfather all the way through and been way too long since I've seen "Goodfellas", but Bill Murray's Bob in "What About Bob" (his best comedy* in my opinion) uses that approach. When it first appeared on network TV, due to complaints his faking Tourette's Syndrome became "Doody Disease".

*Although when they close one of the pools at the Wellness Center for an unscheduled cleaning, I inquire if they found a Zagnut floating in it.

Joe Lansdale (His Ownself) was all over this research when it was first announced. Took it as his mission to inform anyone within earshot of the pertinent details. You know, because he cares.
