Frequent sexual intercourse and masturbation protects men against a common form of cancer, suggests the largest study of the issue to date yet.

So much for "Frequin" and "Freq" as harmless replacements for the F bomb [Wink]

The reference group was only 4 -7 times a month? [Cry] Believe it or not, even Dr. Laura in her "Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" says that isn't enough.

And here I thought most of the US was against pre-marital sex!

That's kind of interesting. Doesn't sexual activity increase a woman's chance of getting cervical cancer? And yet, I man being sexually active decreases his chances of getting cancer?

Does God like men better? Is this God's way of saying he's actually pro homosexuality? Is it a joke along the same lines of women and men reaching their sexual peaks decades apart?

Yeah, I realized that when I re-read it and saw the "shocked purple-faced guy" smilie. I guess it'll take me a while to get used to reading smilie-speak, since I don't use it myself.

Sex with multiple partners increases the risk of getting the cervical cancer pathogen. I've never heard that monogamous sex increases it unless the man was a carrier. [Roll Eyes]

Yes, I'm reading it and I agree that a woman refusing to have sex with her husband for four years is abusing him.

Edit for spelling.

A friend of mine started this train of thought, so let's see how it carries out...

quote:
In the US study, the group with the highest lifetime average of ejaculation - 21 times per month - were a third less likely to develop the cancer than the reference group, who ejaculated four to seven times a month.
I'm really curious about something. I keep seeing statistics in which the group who has the most sex has sex less than once a day. This was true in that study about different countries, too. But why wouldn't married people have sex a bare minimum of twice daily? See I'm thinking of it as a multiple choice question. You wake up and there's a naked woman in bed beside you. Do you a) get up, shower, dress, and make coffee? or b) explore various interesting possibilities inherent in that situation? Same thing at night. Do you a) roll over and go to sleep? or b) investigate more thoroughly what this whole naked-woman-in-bed-with-me thing is all about? See, I just really can't understand ever answering A to either of those. So I wonder how it can possibly be that married people on average have sex less than twice a day? I would think that was the absolute bare minimum. And I'd HOPE that there'd be some spontaneous unexpected times in between. Can married people answer this for me? Did you think this same thing before you were married, and if so what changed? What is the difference between what really happens and what it would seem obvious to anyone in advance would necessarily happen?

Yeah, Human, you're definitely not married. [Wink]

 

I believe that many men are really not capable of having sex that often. There's this thing called the refractory period wherein it's physically impossible to have another erection.

And really, how many people sleep naked?

Also, when you're not having sex, it's easy to think that you could have it a couple times a day. When you start having it, you realize that you don't want it as much as you thought you did. Most people's libido just isn't that high.

Sure, the man can try to 'explore' all he wants. See how many times the woman will put up with it. [Smile]

Not only that, but I hear kids often eat up a fair amount of time and can dampen the sex drive [Wink] .

Uh. I think 'abuse' is a pretty mild term after four years. Four weeks is abuse. Four years is grounds for divorce unless there are mitigating circumstances.

Keedokes, I don't know if you are male or female but assuming the women will necessarily want to have sex less often is a little sexist, isn't it?

Still, twice a day as a minimum is something I only saw on the Golden Girls.

Um, I thought it was pretty much proven that men typically want sex more than women do. Maybe I'm mistaken.

You don't even have to be married to know that twice a day for an extended period of time is very very hard to maintain.

On average? Who knows. But there are many, many women who want sex quite frequently.

Some of them are in my circle of friends, and can frequently be found complaining about how their boyfriends are always too busy to have sex with them. To make matters worse, they're hot.

...but at least I know women like that exist.
