If masturbation is dangerous then surely sex is dangerous?

LOL, the Sun one doesn't even say Masturbation causes health risks. Read the damn article, it says Increased levels of masturbation and an inability to beat off Prostate cancer are both caused by high testosterone levels. This in no way suggests that masturbation causes prostate cancer.

The sun used a football analogy to describe this.

If a Sun journalist has managed to pick holes in the research I wouldn't worry too much about it. It doesn't make sense at all anyway. How would your body know the difference between stimulation through sex and stimulation through masturbation?

I actually took that as the Sun journalist being quite witty in noticing the accidental connection. I also have to admit that this was the most intelligent article I have EVER read on the Sun website, Kudos to the journalist.

But masturbation is dangerous. The mountain of dead kitten bodies outside my bedroom door threatens to crush me every time I open it.

If it was dangerous, don't you think we would know by now? People must have been doing it for thousands of years.
