The University of Montreal has conducted a study in which they have come to an interesting conclusion: Sleeping with more than 20 women protects men against prostate cancer.
Men who had slept with more than 20 women lowered their risk of developing cancer by almost one third, and were 19 per cent less likely to develop the most aggressive form.
In contrast, men who slept with 20 men doubled their risk of developing
prostate cancer compared with men who have never had sex with another man.
Researchers at the University of Montreal believe that intercourse protects
men, and men who are more promiscuous have more sex than those in monogamous
relationships.
However, for homosexual men the benefit is lost because of the increased risk
of picking up a sexually transmitted disease, and the damage to their bodies
from intercourse. However gay men with just one partner are at no greater
risk.
The study, published in the Journal Cancer Epidemiology is the first to find a link between the number of sexual partners and the risk of developing cancer.
