So, in news of the "Oh, Crap!" variety...a study on
Prostate Cancer recently came out.The reporting of the study focused on one little tid-bit, namely that men who **sturbate more frequently in their 20s and 30s are more susceptible to Prostate Cancer later in life.
What the headlines fail to mention, however, is that it's really increased hormone levels (common in men with higher sex drives) that correlate to increased cancer rates.
Does news like this make you want to change your "habits"? Is this going to become a useful "scare tactic" for certain adults that are freaked out about young men **sturbating?

the misspelling is a meme, much like "teh" or "lulz" etc.
@JadedJanissary@xanga - Probably due to the majority of 4chan's poor grammar. I miss the good ol' days...
I call bullshit. If masturbation causes prostate cancer, then wouldn't normal intercourse cause cancer as well?
What's up with the retarded use of you're instead of your. Props for studies causing panic based on correlation instead of causation. I hate studies because I kid you not 95% of studies result in people drawing incorrect conclusions. I know, because I did a study on it that lead me to that conclusion (not really). Studies and statistics don't sway me, I know how to differentiate. Sadly, most people do not...
And as for the rest... is masturbating something adults worry about kids over nowadays? You'd think they'd be too busy watching their kids webcam sex videos...
@TheJoyfulCynic@xanga - Lol, yes, but if you had sex that much you'd probably have enough kids that one of them or the stress would kill you before prostrate cancer got to you... But good point. Haha.
Not only is "masturbation" misspelled, but the person used "you're" instead of "your." Also, there wasn't a need to capitalize "mother."
Some of these would be funny if these people could spell and stuff.
wow, so jangling the jimmy causes prostate cancer? in that case, I think i will give that up and just buy hookers instead.
I thought masturbation was healthy.
Masterbation is a plot made up by mothers to keep young men from thinking bad thoughts. See, there is no you in masterbation.
And yeah, the fact that I thought up a pun that bad makes me want to shoot myself in the head. =/
Ooooh 4chan...
@TheJoyfulCynic@xanga - My thoughts exactly!
Then I'm doomed! It sure wont' stop me now!
This is obviously bullshit.
I do honestly think this may have been constructed by the Catholic Church to scare men away from masturbation and other "excessive" (according to the church) sexual behavior.
@MusingsOfAnAlmostSocio@xanga - we didn't make the pictures, we just used it thinking it would be funny.
@Delphiki@xanga - a lot of the times, things have to be misspelled for advertising purposes. Google is adamant about specific sex words or pr0n words popping up
I don't care about the study, but that poster bothers me. Its poor spelling and usage make it much less funny than it could be. It also seems to capitalize randomly.
everything about masturbayshun that my parentz told me turnd out to be a lie i thynk this report iz justta gasp of the old puritanizm raizing itz hoary hed to put the feer of gawd into innocent peoplez myndz otherwize eny sexual aktivity wud leed to prostate cancer watta crok o shit
The study was probably funded by the Catholic Church.
I don't know what to say to this other than masturbation is healthy for you and the spelling errors are disgusting.
@pansybradshaw@xanga -
LOL!
@suggestivetongue@xanga - the misspelling is done on purpose for ad purposes. Can't have certain words for obvious reasons
@kash@healthkicker - Oh... tragic.
I don't want cancer.
Hahah
Everything good in life causes cancer! lol.

It seems like a scare tactic. If there is concrete evidence from multiple sources to back up this claim, it would change a lot of lives. Most research is always taken back and reviewed with other findings; and that research is most likely no different.
