  5. The good news: this study is legit, and is actually listed on PubMed.

    The bad news: a subsequent and much larger study of over 220,000 person-years (or wanker-years, if you will) of followup shows no relation between ejaculation frequency and the risk of prostate CA.

    But, as you say, why should we take chances? And while we're at it, this article points out some other hypotheses we might as well test while we're at it, such as: "ogling breasts makes men live longer" and "regular sex helps to avoid colds".
