London - An orgasm a day could reduce a man’s chances of developing prostate cancer by almost a quarter, according to a study.
Other health benefits include a boost in immunity, better sleep and protection against heart disease doctors say.
The study, carried out at the Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, found that participants who ejaculated more than 21 times a month were at a 22 percent lower risk of getting prostate cancer.
Jennifer Rider, of Harvard, stressed the results were observational and should be taken cautiously. “At the same time, given the lack of modifiable risk factors for prostate cancer, the results are encouraging,” she added.
Prostate cancer kills almost 11 000 men in Britain a year.
