There’s good news for the Casanovas of the world – sleeping with numerous women could help to protect men from prostate cancer, according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of Montreal and INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier found that men who had slept with more than 20 women during their lifetime were 28 per cent less likely to develop the disease.
They were also 19 per cent less likely to develop an aggressive type of cancer, compared to those who had had only one female sexual partner.
Meanwhile, men who were virgins were almost twice as likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer as those who were sexually experienced.
Well I'm in the clear. In fact I might be okay even if I were triplets.
I knew being a man-whore would pay off someday.
I can just see husband's caught flagrante delicto by their wives using this to their advantage.
"Honey I am not betraying our vows, I am simply fighting cancer."
I wish all cancer fighting was this easy. Sure beats the hell out of avoiding red meat and exercising.
Are there even 20 women in Alaska?
ReplyDeleteI dunno about that "study"...I would have to see more studies to support this. Why? Frank Zappa comes to mind. Other rock stars. Actors etc.
DeleteIf I was a guy I would not feel so safe...

DeleteGirl Silently Walks Around NYC For 10 Hours To Show You This
ReplyDeletehttp://aplus.com/a/street-harassment-in-new-york-video
From a woman's perspective, yes, it's annoying, but she's getting feedback that she is pretty and noticeable. If she were not pretty, she would be envious of the girl walking who did get all the attention. Believe me, part of her was proud of the attention (albeit secretly). And the guys were just being appreciative.
Delete7:33 Blow it out your ass. She even had one follower who DEMANDED to know why she was ignoring him. That's a potentially threatening situation for the woman. Some of us have better things to think about than how many annonymous perverts think we're sexy.
DeleteCat-call me and see how "annoyed" I get. I dare you.

woops, I must have been double mad!
DeleteMildred
You don't have to be conventionally pretty to get this kind of attention.
DeleteDespite your suggestion that women are envious of those prettier than ourselves and live to gain attention and appreciation from random men on the streets, the majority of women would love to go about their lives without catcalls or propositions or being told to "smile!".
And I'll believe this woman about whether she was flattered (secretly or otherwise) rather than someone who believes she would be jealous and sad if she didn't get male attention.
New York and other large cities are unique beasts. With the high population density people tend to feel anonymous and feel that they can behave differently in very crowded situations than they would when individuality plays more of a role, such as in suburban or smaller urban settings. Many studies have been done about how the crowding in cities removes certain inhibitions and causes people to behave more boldly.
DeleteNot that a woman should have to alter her appearance so as not to get attention but the walker had applied makeup and had styled her hair and was wearing clothing that made the shape of her female form extremely apparent, thus causing the reaction from the aggressive males. I'd like to see her re-film this experience wearing form-concealing sweat pants and sweatshirt and sans make up and styled hair, perhaps wearing a hat. I bet that the reaction would be much different. I'd also like to see an attractive, muscular male recreate the same video, while wearing form fitting jeans and a tight t-shirt. I'm certain he would garner the same amount of attention but most likely not as aggressive as females tend to be more subtle, unless of course they are in a group. All humans are hardwired to react to beauty and what we see as reproductive fitness when presented with a healthy and attractive member of the sex that we are attracted to. I think #1 being in a crowded city reduced the males' inhibitions and #2 Men tend to be more aggressive.
Are you telling us anything we don't already know, 9:28?
DeleteAnimal instincts, lowered inhibitions, male aggression.
How academic of you to boil it down like that. Now how about you acknowledge that none of this is ok and that women shouldn't have to put up with it (your half-assed "a woman shouldn't have to change her appearance" doesn't cut it).
I watched only a couple minutes of the video. As a woman and the mother of two young daughters, I felt sick to my stomach.
Did you watch the video, 7:33? Do you really think she should feel flattered and appreciated instead of creeped-out and uncomfortable?
DeleteYet the woman, in most cases, gets blamed for how they dressed, The woman in this clip is modestly dressed in long sleeve, casual street clothes. I think of men like this as roosters - all showing off for the benefit of the other men. One would think that doing the same thing and getting the same results would teach the guy that something isn't working. There's something about the chase that turns both sexes on, but this is just juvenile bullshit and a HUGE turn off.
DeleteTodd wants to know if sex with 20 men reduces cancer risk.
ReplyDeleteIf you read the article you will find that it does not.
DeleteIn fact it increases the risk.
What I get from reading the entire article is that if men-to-men participants would use condoms, that would definitely bring down their risk. The factor seems to be in the ejaculate fluid.
DeleteBrisket and Wallow want IM to know they are doing all they can to lower the cancer risk for men.
DeleteWaiting for the study that says women who have more than 20 partners have a reduced chance of cervical cancer.... ;-)

HooHah!
DeleteNo comment on this story.
ReplyDeleteMy mom and dad, married 48 years, before my dad died from prostate cancer, and who was faithful to one woman all his years,
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think these studies overlook other lifestyle influences that clear the guys who play the one-night stand field. They have no qualms about self-respect, respect for women, and just barge through life, saying, 'what's in it for me and me only?'
Kind of reminds us of that 'family' we comment about. And they always seem to be in the peak of health.
Stick with doing 'right' and it will be easier on the conscience and the soul. Run roughshod over people for a season of hedonistic pleasure, and make enemies for a lifetime, and hurt the ones we love.
One night stands are just fine for women, why would a woman not be able to tell a man it's "just an itch that needs scratching"\THe problem is you think your hymen has value and it doesn't.
DeleteI think this has more to do with the amount of ejaculate one produces and dispenses in one's life. I've known for years that regular ejaculations can be essential in fighting impotence - in essence, use it or lose it! Fortunately, one doesn't need to have a partner to be healthy. I wonder if there is a correlation between prostate cancer and sexually repressed individuals who were taught that masturbation was wicked. For those who are interested, I have no hair on my palms, I'm certainly not blind, and I'm far from insane. :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Masturbation is a worthy (and in many cases), more "handy" and worry free-surrogate for multiple lovers. ;-)
DeleteThat's a lesson I learned while in the Air Force. I had a barracks roommate who was so repressed about the use of masturbation that he ended up with problems I won't mention here. He went to the infirmary where the doctor instructed him that he needed to do the deed, and on a regular basis, to avoid the problem again.
DeleteFortunately for me I was never repressed, and happily the doctor's advice to him just validated it for me. Even so I did end up with prostate cancer, but it was caught early so now it's gone. I've always considered it to be genetic until reading this article.
The male body will rid itself of semen on a regular basis whether you prompt it to or not. Better to be in control of the situation that bust a nut in a business meeting ;-)
DeleteDr. Gryphen, a friend of mine wants to know if it counts if you were with one woman 20 times or does it have to be 20 different women?
ReplyDeletesigned,
19 and worried
(that's NINETEEN YEARS OLD, PREVERTS!!)
No, different women.
DeleteAnd I don't think identical twins counts as two either, which means I wasted that entire weekend.
Well maybe wasted is too strong of a word.
My best girlfriend and I kept score in college. She hit 82 but I only managed 63. We were "little sisters" for a fraternity at our school so the pickings were easy and abundant and basically, it was just a release from tension for us and we didn't even bother to get most of their names. The best part was the guys were always so wasted that even though we might see them on campus or at other parties we hosted a lot of them didn't remember what happened to them, but some had a shimmer of remembrance when they saw us. Probably better for them that they didn't fully remember because we were really into getting guys to explore their full sexuality and try all sorts of different things. I bet more than a few of them woke up the next morning wondering what the hell happened to them the night before! Good time, absolutely good times and fond memories!
DeleteThere have been studies on the internet in the past for years that have said that male masturbation reduces prostate cancer risk in comparison to having sex with a female. So, it seems the religious right may have funded or fundied your study, Gryphen, in order to get a better outcome!
ReplyDeleteYes, and they'd be more likely to give a woman cancer of the cervix.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that.
Nope, 20 different peni are just fine as long as they are not diseased.
DeleteThere's only one problem with using this as an excuse.
ReplyDelete"Sure beats the hell out of avoiding red meat and exercising" What's the work around for that? Aerobic intercourse is one of the best exercises, and it's difficult to NOT have red meat when one is boinking anything with two legs every chance they get.
Reminds me of someone I used to date way back in high school, "That ain't circumcised, it's wear and tear". How does the body discern those who just cheat and masturbate?
And where do people sign up for these trials?
good to know, ..i hit the 20 mark long before i turned 18,
ReplyDeletethen i joined the service, I've been lucky enough to visit 27 country's, not that i ever counted them girls, and a 28yr run as a long haul driver ..best guess...200+ and never caught anything or paid for it,
