A new study out of the University of Montréal has found that men who have sex with 20 or more partners during their lifetimes are less likely to develop prostate cancer. But there’s a catch: It only applies to straight guys. Gay men who bump uglies with 20 or more partners during their lifetimes are more likely to develop prostate cancer.
According to the study’s findings, straight male are 28 percent less likely of one day being diagnosed with prostate cancer than their more chaste counterparts, and those that do develop prostate cancer are 19 percent less likely to develop an aggressive form of the disease.
Why is this?
“A new partner over time keeps one active over the years,” Parent explains. “So the presumption is that men with several partners were exposed to more ***********s.”
Gay men, however, aren’t so lucky. Or at least not bottoms.
Parent’s team found that guys who have sex with more than 20 male partners doubled their risk of prostate cancer. And their risk of getting a non-aggressive cancer was five times more likely.
But Parent could not explain why that does not apply to gay encounters. Perhaps because men who sleep with men engage in more risky sexual behaviour, or that anal intercourse may result in trauma to the prostate, but that’s only speculation, Parent said. More studies are needed.
Gay men who bump uglies with 20 or more partners during their lifetimes are more likely to develop prostate cancer. 
I almost chocked on my food.
