New Study says Too Much Bottoming can cause Prostate Cancer

This is why I'm still a 'lady'.

I read on Queerty that too much bottoming could lead to prostate cancer, but there's a catch:

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.

Epidemiologist Marie-Élise Parent and her researchers surveyed more than 3,200 guys in the Montréal area who answered a comprehensive questionnaire that covered many aspects of their lives, including their bedroom activities. About half of respondents had been diagnosed with prostate cancer between 2005 and 2009.

According to the study’s findings, straight male sluts 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.

I think we need more research on this.

Check Your Prostate, Guys

Kevin C. Heslin is an assistant professor at Charles Drew University and researcher. Recently he discovered that gay and bisexual black men are less likely to be tested for prostate cancer than any other men of any racial and ethnic groups...and that's regardless of their sexual orientation.

19,410 men participated by phone in the California Health Interview Survey. The research revealed that gay and bisexual black men who received the PSA test was 12% to 14% lower than heterosexual blacks and 15% to 28% lower than gay and bisexual whites.

"Gay and bisexual black men had the lowest use of the PSA test, compared with every other group of men in the study," Heslin said. "For blacks, being a member of both racial and sexual minority groups represents a kind of double jeopardy when it comes to getting PSA testing."

The findings are significant because black men are more likely to be diagnosed late with prostate cancer and, as a result, are more likely to die from the disease than any other racial or ethnic group.

This isn't good. We need to get on this, brothers (all races). We need to stick around a lot longer than expected.
