Comments on Rub Out Cancer

The protective effect was greatest while the men were in their 20s.

Phew! Me and my hairy palms are safe.

Excuse me for a while...

Masturbation is fucking boring.

More bad news for the Mormons.

So, if there are carcinogens in semen, am I increasing my risk of cancer by swallowing it?

"And they say sexual intercourse may not have the same protective effect because of the possibility of contracting a sexually transmitted infection, which could increase men’s cancer risk."

that's fucking retarded bullshit. you aren't going to contract an infection from your mutually monogamous partner.

Yeah, but sometimes it's fun to let it build up.

I'm curing cancer! I'm curing cancer!

Aislinn @ 5 made me cure a little cancer.

Also, cancer-causing chemicals could build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly, that's my story and I'm, er, sticking to it...

Like I needed a reason.

I'm covering all the bases on this. If this is correct on both counts, married men shouldn't need to get tested for prostate cancer. Add a sentence about the benefits of beating off to Internet porn, and this Nobel prize material.

Hah! I'm gonna live forever.

#3, are you even watching porn at the same time? Or getting someone to lick your balls?

#6, I thought that was crap too. Even though it's not quite the same, it reminded me a lot of the argument that circumcision reduces risk of contracting an STD, which only makes sense if you're having unprotected sex in the first place.

I'll say it again kids, Karma is good.

@13

I was referring to solo masturbation. And no, I don't watch porn. Gay porn is fucking gross.

that's stupid. there's no difference between jacking off and having sex, as long as you use protection.

And by that, I mean there is nothing sexy about watching a guy pucker up his butthole while the other buries his face in it.

no difference? i'm not sure i'd go that far...

there is nothing sexy about watching a guy pucker up his butthole while the other buries his face in it

There isn't?

#5, no! Not at all!

Or, if that doesn't convince you...

Everything causes cancer!

As if we boys needed any more reason to jack off. But hey, wtf, works for me. Onanism, YES!

Also, Mr. Poe @3 clearly has an atrophied imagination.

jizz is jizz. who cares how it comes about? no difference.

This information should be shown to every fucking senator and representative. Can we bring back Joycelyn Elders, who got fired for just saying that masturbation is healthy.

"We know that more than 70 to 80% of women masturbate, and 90% of men masturbate, and the rest lie."

Mike in Mo @9: I'm nothing if not a humanitarian.

w7ngman @20: Don't worry, I'm convinced. There are worse ways to go.

#15, straight porn can be pretty tasteful. Maybe some straight anal porn would do? If the girl is covering up her naughty bits, and isn't manicured, you could just pretend it's a dude cupping his balls.

Just trying to help!

Different folks, different strokes. I have no problem with a dude wanting to eat my ass, but the whole "what's good for you is good for me" thing doesn't exist in my world. If you think I'm going to return the favor, or kiss you again for the remainder of the night...think again.

Instead of porn you could try masturbating to the irrational rantings of a strident and doctrinaire feminist-environmentalist. Especially if you can locate any pictures of her giving the finger while staring you down with her cruel, wrathful eyes, yet smiling just a little because she is enjoying making you suffer.

I mean, I don't know myself but there's this freak dude that I barely know who tells me this is worth a try. Only a suggestion.

@8 NapoleonXIV:

You're killing kittens! You're killing kittens!

That was a private conversation, elenchos. I didn't give you permission to share it with the group.

@29

I'm positive we never discussed it. But I can understand if you're confused considering how many guys have told me they have the exact same fantasy. Who can blame them? It's hot when she gets like that.

I mean I've heard some people think it's hot when she gets like that.

Ladies and gentlemen, elenchos and his raging clue for ECB.

See how it is?

Mr. Savage was trying to have a frank discussion about some important health information that all men need to know. I was offering mature and constructive input on that serious topic. And what do we see from 'typical slogger'?

Immature attempts to razz each other by deliberately misinterpreting what you say. It's immature man. I said nothing of the kind. I was just sharing something that I thought could help if you were like my weird friend. You're immature. God.

Being mature on Slog is immature.

Who knew I was being so healthy 5-6 nights a week?

A "hand-y-Dan-dy" health tip . . .

@33 wait, is that one of those you are being intolerant if you are not tolerant of intolerance things? cause if i'm mature on slog, that means i'm being immature, which is mature, which is immature. maybe it's more like the i always tell the truth but i just told a lie one.

I wanted to add something hopelessly juvenile (for a change), but #5 made me all flustered and I forgot what I was going to say.

@ 34: why so infrequently?

When I think about you, I touch myself.

Basically, when you read the underlying papers, it comes down to: use it or lose it.

Sex works just as well as masturbation, but can have other risk factors ....

So why doesn't my insurance reimburse me for my randyblue.com membership dues?

TOTAL. CORPORATE. BULLSHIT.

This is nothing to worry about.

I could definitely see this study being founded by some National Porn Association of America, haha.

@41, sexulus.com, fight the power.

Help! where is my sexual Rosetta stone to decipher:

Sex works just as well as masturbation, but can have other risk factors ....

Ya' mean like embryonic formation? Or chlamydia?

@45 - yes. Mostly the latter.

Seriously, which creepy old researcher or lonely grad student thought this one up?

...Sitting in the lab one day, kicking around some new research topics...
