Far from making you go blind or your palms go hairy, self-abuse can protect against prostate cancer, scientists claim. In fact, the more you do it, the better it is for you. Men who pleasure themselves regularly between the ages of 20 and 50 have a far lower chance of developing the disease, a study found.

Men have felt this intrinsically for a while. But this study shows that benefits of choking the chicken are not for the casual salami slapper. 5 times a week is the threshold they cite.

I think though, men could slip it often enough. Make it a priority, I say!

    Umm...for the record...

    Murphy (aka me) is a female. The system works a bit different for those of us with an innie rather than an outie.

    Just showin' how funky strong is your finger--er, fighter!

    "Beat It" by Michael Jackson

    [1st Verse]
    They Told Him Don't You Ever Come Around Here
    Don't Wanna See Your Face, You Better Disappear
    The Fire's In Their Eyes And Their Words Are Really Clear
    So Beat It, Just Beat It

    [2nd Verse]
    You Better Run, You Better Do What You Can
    Don't Wanna See No Blood, Don't Be A Macho Man
    You Wanna Be Tough, Better Do What You Can
    So Beat It, But You Wanna Be Bad

    [Chorus]
    Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
    No One Wants To Be Defeated
    Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fighter
    It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right
    Just Beat It, Beat It
    Just Beat It, Beat It
    Just Beat It, Beat It
    Just Beat It, Beat It

    [3rd Verse]
    They're Out To Get You, Better Leave While You Can
    Don't Wanna Be A Boy, You Wanna Be A Man
    You Wanna Stay Alive, Better Do What You Can
    So Beat It, Just Beat It

    [4th Verse]
    You Have To Show Them That You're Really Not Scared
    You're Playin' With Your Life, This Ain't No Truth Or Dare
    They'll Kick You, Then They Beat You,
    Then They'll Tell You It's Fair
    So Beat It, But You Wanna Be Bad

    [Chorus]
    Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
    No One Wants To Be Defeated
    Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fighter
    It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right

    [Chorus]
    Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
    No One Wants To Be Defeated
    Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fighter
    It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right
    Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It

    [Chorus]
    Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
    No One Wants To Be Defeated
    Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fighter
    It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right

    [Chorus]
    Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
    No One Wants To Be Defeated
    Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fighter
    It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Who's Right

    [Chorus]
    Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
    No One Wants To Be Defeated
    Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fighter
    It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right

    [Chorus]
    Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
    No One Wants To Be Defeated
    Showin' How Funky Strong Is Your Fighter
    It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right
    Just Beat It, Beat It
    Beat It, Beat It, Beat It

    Guess it just goes to show that it doesn't always pay to be the master of your house.
