It may sound wierd but there are some benefits: Masturbation is the Best Prevention Published September 22nd, 2006 in informative, Van Buren Research indicates that masturbation may be the single best preventative medicine for prostate disorders, such as infection and prostatitis, which can lead to prostate cancer. Not only will masturbation NOT make you go blind, it serves as the best and cleanest way to cleanse the prostate of toxins. Frequent ejaculation is known to enhance prostate health, since the prostate empties itself of fluids (including toxins) upon ejaculation. But ejaculation through sexual intercourse exposes the prostate to bacteria. Studies show that in terms of bacteria, the mouth is the “dirtiest” of the three main cavities. The anus is the second cleanest and the vagina is the cleanest. But all of these contain bacteria that can enter the urethra and infect the prostate. Only masturbation provides bacteria free cleansing of the prostate—and an excellent “do it yourself” preventative treatment.
