A 'guy thing' health issue.

[King Herald]

I work offshore, and recently came across an article in a health magazine that said it is healthy for a single guy to 'knock one out' at least once a week, as it help clear the prostate gland and can prevent prostate problems.

So, a few of us are shooting the breeze about this, discussing whether we might get extra health benefit points (some company scheme where we get prizes for doing healthy stuff) if we do it more often blah blah, the usual offshore-for-a-long-time crap, and this crusty old Aussie guy who works with us says: "I've knocked the top off it every day since I was 14, done me no harm"



We unanimously decided he was just talking crap, but he is now 55 and swears blind he has had one off the wrist at least once a day for 40 years, married or otherwise.

So, seriously, is it going to do him any harm? Can it cause any damage? Nerve damage. Wear it out?

We still think the old git is talking rubbish, but who knows.

There's a BBC link somewhere showing a link to prostate cancer.

Good 'Men's Health' article http://www.menshealth.com/cda/article.do?site=Mens...

ETA Link won't work but the gist is wk more than five times a week and you reduce chances of Prostate cancer by a third the technical reason given is "it cleans out the plumbing"


But they ruin it's credibility by claiming you don't actually go blind either, how ridiculous......

And still young!

I know one guy, 4 or 5 times a day for maybe a week, and then nothing for the next week. And twice everday when he's offshore, well as long as he manages to get to his bunk.

Crumbs, I think I might have a problem. 3-4 a day is normal for me! I guess I need a new hobby!

And you know this how?

Anyway, it sounds like I have nothing this Ozzie guy has nothing to worry about then?



Seriously, I'm not quite fifty yet, but if I can still knock it out daily when I'm his age I'll be happy.

Or a bird/we/girlfreind.

I am of the opinion to keep things moving. Cycle the stock and all that

Since I got the power shower fitted, it's been a bit more regular for me

Aim that baby at your scrot from underneath and if you don't get a boner then you're already dead

I think anyone playing with their pink Oboe 3-4 times a day is at the limit of normal and healthy. Anything more and they might have an addiction or problem.

[VinnyTheGolfMan]

A couple of times a day would be considered healthy.That's my excuse anyway.

[khevolution]

about 3 times a week is enough for me, altho im only 21 but i sometimes get a enormous pain in my left wrist which worrys me sometimes
