Might be kind of hard to convince the missus that i need to get laid for medical reasons... !

sheesh

Ah jesus I'm fecked so!

Good to know. Not so good if you're homosexual though.

The One Doctor

It's the ejaculations that reduce the risk, not the sex. A **** a day keeps the doctor away - from your arse.

The Backwards Man

Balls.


How does your willy know the difference between shagging twenty people once and one person twenty times?

That's is only speculation. There isn't any proof of that.

* Not an excuse to cheat on your partners

*** Does it have the same affect on homosexual men?

smurfjed

It is the first study to suggest the number of female partners is what matters, rather than the amount of sex, or even masturbation.

The study would disagree with you, it says number of female partners rather than ejaculations.

Maybe it's a psychological effect which effects your physiology. Maybe the frustration of sex with only a few women has harmful effects on the body. Maybe some other correlating factor is the causative agent.

Who's ever shagged the same women 20 times?

I'd assume these are just coincidental statistics that the Daily Mail tried to relate for a story.


The number of deaths by drowning rises during the summer.

So does the number of Ice Cream sales.

Therefore Ice Cream causes people to drown.

Cut the risk of cancer by exposing yourself to the risk of STD/Is...well I'll be f**ked, literally.

That's what I was thinking. It's certainly a great feeling seducing a woman. Doing this to many different women is certainly good for the ego and may have positive effects on the body.

GLaDOS

Would like to see the actual study. Headline says partners, but the hypotheses proposed by the researches relate more to ejaculation as opposed to specifically sex with different women. Could be the daily mail sensationalising things.

Let us know if you ever find out.:)

Here's the link to what seems to be the original article:

Highlights
•
Association between sexual activity and prostate cancer risk was examined.
•
Having had >20 female sexual partners associated with decreased prostate cancer risk.
•
Having had >20 male sexual partners were suggestive of greater prostate cancer risk.
•
Self-identification as a homosexual was suggestive of greater prostate cancer risk.
•
No association found between sexually transmitted infections and prostate cancer.

There could be a small grain of truth in this - some studies have shown that people who are arseholes live longer than others - it boils down to the inner confidence, no desire to please others, don't worry about others - this can essentially help them to live longer as they don't feel stress about anything - they believe they are amazing, nothing can go wrong (no self-doubt, enormous self-belief)

Falling into this category could be the cliched "Player" - the guy who likes to use and dispose of multiple partners (the "Hump 'Em and Dump 'Em approach if you will) - so yeah, could be some truth in it.

slashed their risk by 28%

Just made a list.... I qualify for the 28% risk reduction

Ficheall

Face-to-face interviews in the interviewees' homes asking interviewees about sexual history and STIs?

I think this one can safely be taken with a pinch of salt.

It does admit the sensitivity to horse**** responses:
"Sensitivity analyses evaluated the potential impact on risk estimates of having a third person (usually the spouse) present during the interview, having a proxy respondent, and gender of the interviewer. For the analyses, these variables were included separately in the logistic regression models presented in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4."
- but (and it could be just me missing it - neither stats nor medical journals are my thing) I can't see where Tables 2,3, and 4 make any reference to the bias?


edit: Seems they do mention it later
"Social desirability bias and concerns about confidentiality may lead some interview respondents to censor their responses to questions pertaining to sexual issues [45]. Further, interviewer gender may potentially influence subjects’ responses [46]. However, the distributions of responses regarding sexual activity in our study did not vary when adjusted for interviewer gender, by whether the subject was interviewed alone or not, or by whether a proxy or the subject responded to the questionnaire. For example, the protective effect of having had more than 20 female sexual partners on the risk of PCa remained and the point-estimates were essentially the same when models were adjusted for the aforementioned variables (OR 0.73 (95% CI 0.56–0.94); OR 0.81 (95% CI 0.62–1.06); OR 0.72 (95% CI 0.56–0.94), respectively). In addition, interviewers believed the majority (96%) of respondents provided ‘truthful’ or ‘probably truthful’ answers to the questions pertaining to sexual behavior."

That said, if I were conducting an interview and hoping to "prove" something statistically from it, I wouldn't be very inclined to admit that I thought my interviewees were lying through their teeth.

Nice.

Now I can add another reason to my list when I ask that fine thing to bed me.

Women sleep around and they get cervical cancer. Men sleep around and they become immune to prostate cancer.

I love the "of course" bit, as if variations in vaginal mucus viscosity is something that everyone would be familiar with. :pac:

It's the Daily Mail, surely it was only a matter of time before they wrote about something that claims to reduce a person's risk of developing certain cancers, seeing as they've already written that everything else seems to increase a person's risk of developing cancer.

Pretty much all their headlines are a random selection of:
