What do u think are the rationalizations behind the famous myth that masturbation causes a person to lose weight?

…or is it really a fallacy?

[heymikey]

I don't exactly know how much calories are burned when you spank your monkey, although I don't think that is enough to lose any noticeable weight. Besides, since most men only take less than 2 minutes to reach orgasm, this activity is barely considered a strenous workout.

Now, if you have sex for at least 2 hours everyday and maintain a healthy diet, then that would somewhat cause you to lose weight. Just make sure you don't let your girlfriend/wife do all the work.

Sabi nila nakakapagod daw kasi. Pero wala pang 3 minutes yun kadalasan so hindi ko alam kung talagang may 'exercise' na naganap.

Minsan kasi at play din ang psychological factors diyan. Hindi lang yung masturbation per se. Sa kakaisip ng kalib*gan, hindi na kumakain. hehehe.

im sorry.. i cant resist not posting... this is so funny... i mean, sure you do use some of your muscles during masturbation, but lose weight? i dont think so... siguro you would pero hindi noticeable... not unless you do it more than 5 times a day, everyday...

anyhoo, if it really does, wow! what a good way to lose weight, eh? there's no need for treadmills and weights!

It's a myth.

LONDON (Reuters) - Frequent masturbation, particularly in the 20s, helps prevent prostate cancer (news - web sites) later in life, according to new research.



Australian scientists have shown that the more men masturbate between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to develop the disease that kills more than half a million men each year.


They suspect that frequent ejaculation has a protective effect against the cancer because it prevents dangerous carcinogens from building up in the gland.


"The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them," Graham Giles, of the Cancer Council Victoria in Melbourne, told New Scientist magazine on Wednesday.


In a survey of 1,079 prostate cancer patients and 1,259 healthy men, Giles and his team discovered that men who ejaculated more than five times a week in their 20s were a third less likely to develop an aggressive form of the disease.


The findings contradict previous studies which suggested that having a variety of partners or frequent sexual activity could increase the risk of prostate cancer by 40 percent.


But Giles said the earlier research concentrated on intercourse, whereas his study focused on masturbation. Infections caused by sexual activity could account for the different findings.


"Men have many ways of using their prostate which don't involve women or other men," he added.

The article posted here is selective. There are a lot of loopholes in this studies, especially since the method of research done here is thru questionnaire only, which is pretty prone to exaggerations and half-truths. Other scientists who have studied this group's findings call it "totally speculative".

arg so many hirits, so little time.

here's one: "really? my roommate can probably cure cancer at the rate he's going." *tagapagdagdagngdyis*

[ruger97]

studies thru the years still fail to fully explain this issue... the "sex or oral stimulation factor" still doesn't hold solidly for the prevention or cause of prostate cancer...

[Battousai1]

is it true that if you dont masturbate there is a chance that you will be infertile? and that you were able control your ejaculation and prevent it from coming out when you experience nocturnal emissions?

what I mean is you tried to stopped masturbating cause you dont like it anymore... is it dangerous? and that even on nocturnal emission you are able to control the ejaculation and prevent it from coming out?

thnx!

[Ira]

No to all.

[Battousai1]

thanks!

[dudelish]

that was quick.

[moonshine]

what about the studies on endometriosis... does masturbation really help prevent this somehow?
