According to a report on BBC News online:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3072021.stm

it appears that masturbation may help to reduce the risks of prostate cancer in men.

I wonder how the US religious right, who hounded out Clinton's first surgeon general for suggesting that masturbation was a good thing, will react to this?

See, and now I'm imagining somebody who gets prostate cancer feeling guilty because -- wait, maybe he didn't wank *quite enough* ...

Ah, they'll just dismiss it as something from those effete and immoral British (the French having lost "effete" when they moved even lower in the estimation of the Murrican Right).

Crazy(just a silly thought, but that study caught my eye, too...seems the same reasoning might hold for breast cancer and lactation)Soph

You are the third person on my friends list to mention this. I'm beginning to suspect a conspiracy of wankers...

I'm sure there must be a better collective noun for us them than that.

Which reminds me of the Judge's summing up in a complex financial court action, which allegedly began "This case - and I must be careful not to fall into Spooner's trap here - concerns a group of warring bankers..."
