Watch porn. Live longer. (possibly get divorced)

By "Milbarge" and "Fitz-Hume"

A while back on the same day I read two completely unrelated items. The first one was a news headline about a study linking regular masturbation to a reduced risk of prostate cancer in men. Perhaps BTQ should have an all request post for the public service advertisements. "Lend a hand to reducing cancer."

Separately over at the corner, I read this email post by Kathryn Jean Lopez (part of a longer thread).
Key phrase:

"After counseling scores of husbands and couples, I can say that porn is definitely one of the many factors that contributes to the deterioration of marriages in the military. In my redeployment briefs (the ones I give before the unit comes back home), I talk to them about how porn hurts their marriages. I tell them that when they look at porn, their wives lose confidence in themselves."

Aren't mixed messages fun? Basically you should masturbate to reduce your risk of cancer, but you better not use any visual material to do it.
