Specialists agree that we only value sex when it fails , and this is the case for them. “It is as protective for the emotions as olive oil is for the cardiovascular system. When erotic health is diminished, it affects all aspects, and, on the contrary, if it is satisfactory, it acts as a vital lubricant. No It happens by chance, sex regulates the structure of the personality and is as important as the survival instinct or food “, explains Vicente Briet, general secretary of the Spanish Federation of Sexology Societies (FESS).
Perhaps that is why the greatest fear of men who have prostate surgery is the effect it will have on erections, since it is not always possible to safeguard them. Of course, before reaching that situation, we can preserve the health of the gland by applying preventively the universal remedy: sex. To confirm this, oncologists from the US National Cancer Institute studied 30,000 men for eight years. The result of their research, published in JAMA , was that large ejaculators – at least twenty-one times a month – had a three times lower risk of prostate cancer than those who enjoyed four to seven orgasms a month.
The studies have not resolved the question of why frequent ejaculation reduces the risk of suffering from this tumor, but one of the hypotheses being considered is that it drains the carcinogens that are deposited in it from this gland.
One or two teaspoons?
Since all specialists agree on its preventive and curative nature, it is worth wondering about the doses. For the prostate, it seems that a lot of sex is recommended , but it is not a general rule. According to Briet, “the determining factor is not quantity, but quality, that is, the satisfaction that each one of their relationships provide.”
Moreover, sometimes setting the goal of increasing the frequency, on your own initiative or due to pressure from your partner, can be counterproductive, because you run the risk of triggering stress.
