Men who ejaculate more regularly throughout their lives lower their risk of the disease.

The researchers, from Harvard Medical School, did not explain why orgasms could lower prostate cancer risk.

However it has previously been theorised that regular orgasms may flush out cancer-causing chemicals in the prostate.

Another theory is that if sperm is regularly cleaned out to allow new cells to develop, it helps stop the build-up of old cells that might be more likely to turn cancerous.
