SOUNDING BOARD is an outlet for opinions on good and crazy things going on at home (wherever I may be). All are welcome. You are not expected to bring anything except your common sense & sense of humor.

Another reason to jerk off
A team of scientists based in Melbourne studied the sexual habits of more than 2,000 men, half with cancer and half healthy. They found out that those who ejaculated more than 5 times a week were less likely to develop serious prostate cancer. In the words of scientist Graham Giles, 'The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them (Life and Style, This is London 17 July 2003).'
I am not going through the threats to external and internal validity and all those serious stuffs (that may take away the fun heheee). But if this is confirmed, just in case (c'mon stay with me heheee), then it's like 'once a day keeps prostate cancer at bay'. Preventing cancer and promoting peace? Not bad... not bad at all.
