Foods to Ward Off Prostate Cancer

 

The worst --- the absolute worst --- thing that men may have to deal with when it comes to the prostate is cancer. According to many in the medical community, if you live long enough you will get prostate cancer. Some forms progress very slowly, deserving of "wait and watch." Some forms are quite aggressive and require surgery.


The prostate isn't necessary to attain (or maintain) an erection, but the bundle of nerves in the area are essential in the ability to get hard. If you develop prostate cancer and require surgical treatment, it's important to get a highly skilled surgeon.





I think the worst thing that happens to men as we age is the loss of boners. It somehow makes us feel less...masculine? It's why boner pills are so prolific.



While a skilled surgeon can save your boners, what they can't save is the volume of cum. According to  the article Accessory Glands - SEER Training 

"Secretions from the seminal vesicles make up about 60 percent of the volume of the semen, with most of the remainder coming from the prostate gland. The sperm and secretions from the bulbourethral gland contribute only a small volume. The volume of semen in a single ejaculation may vary from 1.5 to 6.0 ml."

That means orgasm and ejaculation will be possible, but the volume of semen will be lowered.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation's article, "Foods to Fight Prostate Cancer" lists 5 foods to help reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer. Cruciferous veggies like cabbage and bok choy; berries like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries; cold water fish like salmon, sardines, and trout; cooked tomatoes (there's that Mediterranean diet from yesterday); coffee and tea (but stay away from the high sugar & cream lattes).



As always, take care of your body and your body will take care of you.

Talking to my doc, that's what she told me: that the prostate will keep growing as we age and that many men could get prostate cancer. She did not mention the diet, though.

There is no ejaculate after a prostatectomy. The prostate is the force behind the ejaculation. The removal also takes the seminal vessicle, the sperm tubes from your testicles, and your pee sphincter.
You train your pelvic floor muscle to be your "new" pee sphincter. Rarely, your pelvic floor muscle starts to quiver before the orgasm and you may squirt a little pee.

Good advice. Your quote at the end is what I always say about taking care of your car, too.

I have read: "A new step back after the revocation of the right to abortion. In the United States, the Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, supported the idea of banning sodomy there. It would be a question of unearthing an old law which prohibited this practice, decriminalized by the Supreme Court in 2003 with the judgment “Lawrence vs Texas”. On the NewsNation cable channel, Ken Paxton assured during an interview that he would be "willing and able" to defend such a measure, the consequences of which would however be dramatic for the LGBTQ community."

And what more then?

@ MFP - The Texans have vowed to reinstate the sodomy laws. If they are successful, the SCOTUS ruling regarding marriage equality becomes moot. Sen Cornyn (R) Texas, has called for the reversing of Plessy v Ferguson, which made "separate but equal" unconstitutional, and he has also called for a reversal of Brown v The Board of Education which ended school segregation. Texas and Florida have called for the word "slavery" to be coined as "involuntary relocation" as if that would erase the history of it. Today, in Florida, the "Don't Say Gay" law went into effect, which forces teachers to remove any and all traces of LGBTQ from their classrooms and curricula.
With each new law and SCOTUS ruling, the U.S. is swiftly moving to an autocratic theocracy. I hear rumblings from many about moving to places in Europe and Canada.

We can always use a reminder to eat healthier. Keeping everything in working order is a good reason. Thanks as always for the great information and the nice visuals!

Have a great holiday weekend!

I think we need a crew of 'private investigators' to trail all of these !#$%&@^$%&* politicians to find out what kind of things they do that they want to ban again-- like the politician who hung out in the airport rest room, tapping his foot! Once the world finds out that they're really hypocrites...

It's also interesting that Justice Thomas is in favor of revisiting contraceptives, gay marriage, and other old Supreme Court decisions-- except the one allowing miscegenation! The moment they revoke -that- decision, he gets arrested for having a white wife!

tl;dr: More fruits and vegetables, less junk food and sugar. Get plenty of exercise, and don't smoke.

A good alternative to surgery for defined prostate cancers is "cyberknife" radiation therapy which I experienced last year. 5 treatments of a focused beam that is guided by real time scans of gold markers that have been placed near the tumor. A few dozen 15-20 second shots of radiation over the course of 20 minutes per treatment. The worst part of the treatment was Lupron shot to kill testosterone for 8 months and the filling your bladder and emptying your colon and rectum before each treatment so that the internal geometry of organs is the same each time. Hardons came back when the Lupron wore off and there's some ejaculate - although I've practiced "cum deferral" for some years and only shoot once a month to conserve the erotic charge in my body.
