We inhabit a dishonest society. Natural male desires are deemed undesirable. “NO, you cannot do that” is the answer beat into Western boys from youth through grandparent-hood. Whatever it is you want to do, whatever it is that feels good, whatever moves are desirable to you are culturally inappropriate.
Rock throwing, shooting, fisticuffs, wrestling, and other exercises of militant and/or physical prowess are very strictly limited in polite society. There are certain approved sport games for exercising your body, but other uses are not okay.
Reproductive-aged females are prime for reproduction once every 28 days. Males in their primes are capable, interested and excitable at least daily. HUH? Whyizzat?
The males are supposed to fight for the right to breed with the strongest, most vital reproducing females while the weak do not get to. The motivation to excel is linked to the sex drive. Victory means offspring. Strong genes are replicated. Winning males produce strong male and female offspring.
Nature has to get rid of the eunuchs somehow. With no medical data from any studies whatsoever to back me up, I nominate prostate cancer from those chronically unused prostrate glands.
The prostate has various functions. The most important is producing seminal fluid, which is a component of semen. It also plays a role in hormone production and helps regulate urine flow.
Zoo visitors are disgusted to see the monkeys masturbate. That is unacceptable in polite society, but the dang monkeys don’t understand that particular prohibition. However, the typical human male gets it. No good. Don’t do that. Don’t step outside of marital sexual relations either.
Proper male choices in western culture are to exercise your prostate when your wife is in the mood, or to stifle it. By not-so-amazing coincidence, prostate cancer is number two in this society. I now turn you over to the data that inspired this discussion.
