Why men who have sex with multiple women are less likely to have prostate
cancer
Multiple sex partners could be a good thing for men. According to a study
conducted by scientists at the University of Montreal, men who had sex with
20 or more women had a considerably lower rate of prostate cancer than men
who only had one sex partner.
The study was based on a research project where 3,208 men revealed facts
about their sexual history. Out of the group, 1,590 men were diagnosed with
prostate cancer. The study suggested that the number of sexual partners
affected the development of the cancer.
They found that men who only had one or never had sex was twice as likely
to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. In turn, men who had 20 or more
sexual partners found a 28 percent reduction in the risk of prostate
cancer. Scientists theorize that regular intercourse may flush cancer
causing chemicals and reduce calcifications in the prostate.
But while men who had sex with females were at lower risks for prostate
cancer, it didn't hold true for men who engaged in sex with men. Men who
slept with more than 20 men were twice as likely to be diagnosed with
prostate cancer.
Scientists theorized that men who had sex with men were at a greater risk
to be exposed to STDs, and anal sex can produce trauma to the prostate.
Although the study revealed interesting results, scientists are not ready
to promote male promiscuity as a means to combat prostate cancer.
Safe sex and monogamy are still key factors in preventing the spread of
STDs.
