Study: Men with more than 21 orgasms a month lowers their risk of prostate cancer [View all]

Men having one orgasm a day could significantly reduce a man's chance of developing prostate cancer, according to new research.

Researchers claim that while an orgasm provides pleasure during sex, there is a hidden benefit.

Once a day will reduce the risk of prostate caner by nearly a quarter.

It also provides a number of health benefits such as a boost in immunity, better sleep, and can even protect against heart disease.

Doctors say that sex itself is not required, just an orgasm.

What they found was that if a male ejaculates at least once a day, the likelihood of developing prostate cancer are very low.

The study data showed that the participants who ejaculated more than 21 times a month were at a 22 per cent lower risk of getting the disease. As for how men achieved ejaculation, it is not a requirement to have a sex partner. Whether it be sexual intercourse, nocturnal emission, or masturbation, all are beneficial.
