Yes, I am talking about the act of self-pleasure or masturbation.
What is often seen as a social taboo may actually be good for your overall health!

Men who masturbate on almost a daily basis are at a lower risk of developing prostate cancer!
To arrive at this conclusion, the experts at Harvard Medical School studied almost 32,000 men for an extended period of 18 years.

Results showed that men who ejaculated more frequently were less likely to have the disease!
This is because studies show that ejaculation lessens the chances of prostate cancer by effectively “flushing out” cancer-causing agents from the body.
