This might be good news or bad news, depending on how you read it.

From the a recent study:

"Men who ejaculated more than five times each week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer."

Unfortunately,

"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.' "

So, sex with the one you love, guys.
