Serious and Not So Serious

Frequent masturbation may help men cut their risk of contracting prostate cancer, Australian researchers
have found. It is believed that carcinogens may build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly, BBC
News reported recently. The researchers surveyed more than 1,000 men who had developed prostate cancer, and 1,250 men who had not. They found that men who had ejaculated the most between the ages of 20 and 50 were the least likely to get cancer. Men who ejaculated more than five times each week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer.

Sexual intercourse may not have the same effect because of the higher risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, which could in turn raise the risk of cancer. “Had we been able to remove ejaculations associated with sexual intercourse, there should have been an even stronger protective effect of ejaculations,” Graham Giles of the Cancer Council Victoria, who led the researchers, said in the article.

The prostate produces a fluid that is incorporated into ejaculation, which activates sperm and prevents them from sticking together. Studies on animals have shown that carcinogens like 3-methylchloranthrene can be harbored in the prostate. Frequent ejaculation encourages the cancer-inducing fluids to “flush out.” Not So Serious…Exercise
It is well documented that for every minute you exercise, you add a minute to your life. (This enables you, at 85 years of age, to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month!) My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. Now she’s 97 years old and we don’t know where the hell she is! I joined a health club last year and spent about 80,000 baht. Haven’t lost a pound.

Apparently you have to show up. I like long walks… especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them. The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier. The only reason I would take up exercising is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

And last, but not least, I don’t exercise because it makes the ice jump right out of my glass!
