#52Also for a bit of correlation circlejerk: On average, men who walk 5km a day are less likely to die in a road accident.
People who drink 1.7 glass of water in the shade on Tuesdays are 53% more likely to win travel-related sweepstakes in odd-numbered years (this expands to 66% for carbonated water)

#53I want to point out that it's long been HN filter policy to "kill" posts that use a word beginning with m for self stimulation they is very relevant to this discussion. If you turn on showdead you'll see a few dead posts by people that aren't otherwise shadowbanned, because they used that word. Seems like a good argument against censorship, especially as it relates to normal activity.
Pragmatically if it stops a spam burden, I don't much care. Beaver college sports and The UK town of Scunthorpe are well used to this kind of regex filter, and neither have ceased to exist online. I don't think this is a good argument against censorship at all.

#54So many opportunities for correlation not causation. One obvious correlation could be testosterone: higher testosterone leading to less prostate cancer. Of course higher testosterone has multiple causes. I knew a girlfriend of a guy taking roids, both in their twenties: she said he was insatiable in her opinion (I think she limited access to three times a day, because he just wanted more).
It is truly tiring to see all these "linked" articles. It might be interesting but without some more research it is useless and just messes up with 99.9% of population who will read it and wrongly assume sexual activity prevents cancer. I am currently on a big spree trying to fix my diet and sift true information from all those wrong inferences. Turns out, almost everything I have been told and red is a lie based on…
What are your current diet assumptions?
From what I heard, the best way to stay healthy is to follow mediterranean and DASH diets.

>So many opportunities for correlation not causation.
When people point this out (which they do on every single human-related study that makes the front page), it implies that the article is suggesting causation somewhere. I don't see this article suggesting that anywhere; what I find toward the end is this:
>The studies from the United States and Australia do little to answer these critical questions — but they do open a new avenue for research.
Did I miss where the article suggests causation?

#56I wonder what things correlate with more frequent ejaculation in early adulthood? Having a girlfriend, being a "player"? Having a living situation that's amenable to regular self pleasure (posts are automatically dead if you use the m-word). Having more free time?
I’d assume being in a long term relationship actually lowers your frequency ;)
You're wrong. This was some time ago but I recall seeing a study that a 60 year old married woman has more sex on average than a single man in his 20s.

#58Dont show this to the nofap community
When I'm in the mood of reading a bunch of smug nerds pontificating and preaching, I click on any popsci or diet-related article on HN. Never fails to entertain. Nofap like many things has been turned into a brand, and even politicised to the point some idiots attack it saying it's far right ideology. On the other hand there are teenagers with serious porn-related issues that think nofap will turn them into superhuma…

Made me look up the word cranky and found “crankshaft” - a shaft driven by a crank that turns reciprocating motion into rotating motion. Legit.

#59Is there any correlation to ejaculated frequency and other issues, such as enlarged prostate?

I doubt there are people/bots spamming about jerking off on HN.
It makes me wonder why this rule was implemented.
