Men who want to lower their risk of a common cancer should masturbate and have sex more, according to research.
A new review of existing studies dating back 30 years found the more often men ejaculate, the less likely they are to develop prostate cancer.
Researchers recommended climaxing 21 times per month because the literature suggested it lowered the risk of disease by one-third.
Though the exact mechanism isn’t well understood, the experts believe increased blood flow to the prostate could help flush carcinogens out of semen and other fluids.
The findings come as the US sees an uptick in prostate cancers, including the recent deaths of OJ Simpson and Dexter Scott King, son of Martin Luther King Jr.
‘The recommendation for routine ejaculation, particularly among specific age groups, presents an opportunity for proactive prostate health management,’ the team wrote.
