A regular sex romp will help you avoid prostate cancer, at least according to a study of 30,000 men by Boston researchers.
The study found that men who had sex at least 21 times a month were 33 per cent less likely to develop prostate cancer.
Generally, men who had sex between 13 and 21 times a month, and had frequent ejaculations, were found to be on the safer side.
It could be that chemicals that cause cancer may be flushed out during sex as the prostate secretes most of the fluid in semen.
It is also possible that heightened sexual activity reduces the accumulation of calcium salts, which have been linked to cancer.
The researchers have not yet established the reason, and survey leader, Dr Michael Leitzmann of the National Cancer Institute, said it would be too soon for men to change their sexual habits.
A report on the study, that interviewed health professionals aged between 46 and 81, was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on Monday.
The men were interviewed in 1992 and observed for a period of eight years.
A 2014 study in Montreal found that men who had more than 20 female sexual partners were 28 per cent less likely to develop the disease.
Study leader Professor Marie-Elise Parent, from the University of Montreal, however said the findings were preliminary and should not be used as a green light for promiscuity.
The professor’s findings were echoed by Graham Giles, a doctor who headed a research that proposed masturbation may also help prevent prostate cancer.
"Seminal fluid contain substances that are carcinogenic (cancer-causing). Regular ejaculation may help flush them out," he said.
Giles' study, carried out in Australia, had more than 2,300 respondents.
Those who masturbated five or more times a week were 34 per cent less likely to develop prostate cancer by age 70.
The converse was however found to be true for gays; men who had more than 20 partners and engaged in same-sex relationships doubled their risk of developing cancer.
