For years, the feminists have been getting away with describing a place where healthy babies are killed as "women's health clinics". Now perhaps the local dirty books/video store can be labelled "men's health clinics".

And, by the time liberals are done with this, the Playboy Channel may be required for "basic cable".

Studies in dogs show that carcinogens such as 3-methylcholanthrene, found in cigarette smoke, are also concentrated in prostate fluid.

It took a "study" to find out that what you consume eventually gets out of your body? And that smoking cigarettes isn't good for the taste?

Great news !!! I remained celibate until marriage at 34 years of age thanks in part to the palm of my hand ...

This thread reminds me of a letter to Playboy's advice column from a guy saying that he enjoyed masturbating with heavy-grit sandpaper and asking if he had a problem...

The answer was, "Not for long."

Where's the Kournikova pic to counter the Hitlery one??!!

Guess it wasn't a line when guys would say ..they needed sex to avoid sperm backup.. (yeah right...)

Just do it until you need glasses!

Give these researchers a big hand!

A big hairy hand at that.

I guess I am a weirdo ...Waited until marriage to have sex ...Nobody in my own family really believe it ...Not bragging or anything ...Yes , I DID have " impure " thoughts while stroking the poker ...but I don't think God will make me burn in hell for it .

On the other, ahem, hand...

The prostate, together with the seminal vesicles, secretes the bulk of the fluid in semen, which is rich in substances such as potassium, zinc, fructose and citric acid.

Almost makes it sound like a vitamin tonic...

I wonder if I can convince the little lady...

No, no.... nevermind.... what WAS I thinking???

Sad but true, this is the excuse that I get from my Wife as to why she won't give me a B.J.

Too much information!

I bet Jocylyn Elders had a hand in this report... er, I mean, nevermind.

Yes but it will make you go blind.

That is a lie. Now excuse me while I find my glasses and shave my palms.

When I was 20 I could have kept a dozen men cancer free or at least go into remission..

[Old Phone Man]

Well I have prostate cancer and have been battling it for seven years now...I disagree with this article...Hell I was a champion of the five finger stroke method for years ..If any guy SHOULDN'T have prostate cancer it's me...P.S. I'm in my sixties now and I ain't blind either!

[quack]

huh?You "serviced" a dozen men when you were 20? ; )

Think I'd re-word that post.

[steve50]

Sorry to hear that. Hope you fight the beast off. I'm in the early 50 age bracket where the problems seem to start myself. Not sure the prostrate can overcome the hemroids to cause a problem tho :-)
