"...Men who had slept with more than 20 women lowered their risk of developing cancer by almost one third,
and were 19 per cent less likely to develop the most aggressive form.
Researchers at the University of Montreal believe that intercourse protects men,
and men who are more promiscuous have more sex than those in monogamous relationships." :thumb:

I doubt there is anything magical to your physiology in having intercourse with multiple partners, especially if a condom is worn. I bet you that lots of sex with your wife, or merely lots of masturbating holds the same benefit regarding cancer (if this can be verified to exist).
I think what they're saying is that men who are promiscuous tend to have more sex, the implication being that monogamous men have less, which in most instances is likely correct.
Try selling that to the wife. ["I'm doing this for us, dear. You want me to stay healthy, don't you?"] The only way it might work is if you were worth more to her alive than dead.

You could be right. I thought I read somewhere in the past that if you don't use it, you'd lose it (including exacerbating problems with your prostate).
I think the point is that if you have had 20+ unique sexual partners, you are likely much more sexually active in general than if you only had 1 or 2 unique partners.
"It is possible that having many female sexual partners results in a higher frequency of ejaculations, whose protective effect against prostate cancer has been previously observed in cohort studies," said lead researcher Dr Marie-Elise Parent.
"Previous studies have found that sexual intercourse may have a protective effect against prostate cancer because it reduces the concentration of carcinogenic crystal-like substances in the fluid of the prostate."
