A 23-year-old Australian law student, Sarah Button, made headlines after passing through airport security in the United Arab Emirates with a unique accessory. She was wearing a butt plug that contained her deceased boyfriend’s ashes, a gift from him before he passed away. The incident caused the alarms to go off, and she and her friend were pulled aside by airport security. Button documented the experience on her TikTok page, which went viral and gained millions of views.
Button explained that the sex toy was a joke between her and her boyfriend, who had spent a lot of time in that particular “favorite place.” She wanted to travel to the places they had dreamed of visiting together to honor his memory. Despite explaining the situation to the security officials, they initially suspected that she was carrying a weapon. Button mentioned that the female security officer working in earshot of their conversation didn’t appreciate the vulgarity she used to explain the situation, leading to some back and forth.
Eventually, a senior official arrived, and after signing a foreign document, Button was allowed to leave. It’s unclear if she was permitted to keep the sex toy. Button’s story serves as a reminder to be cautious when traveling with unusual items, especially if they might cause confusion or suspicion.
New research suggests regularly masturbating could help men reduce their risk of prostate cancer. A recent study found that men who ejaculate at least 21 times per month may lower their chances of prostate cancer by up to a third.
The study, published in European Urology, followed 31,925 men over 18 months and linked frequent masturbation with decreased prostate cancer risk, similar to the benefits of exercise and healthy eating. Researchers believe regularly clearing out toxins from the body through ejaculation offers protective effects.
This adds to a growing consensus around the health benefits of masturbation for men. Despite viral movements like No Nut November that promote abstinence, urologists argue there is no evidence that refraining from masturbation improves physical or mental wellbeing.
Dr. Rena Malik previously told Insider that research shows masturbation reduces stress and prostate cancer risk. She cited a 2016 study finding men under 50 who ejaculated over 21 times monthly had lower prostate cancer diagnoses.
While some claim masturbation hurts athletic performance, Malik dismissed this as unfounded. Instead, the newest research makes it clear that enjoying masturbation frequently could be an important part of self-care for men, with tangible impacts on health.
So while periodic abstinence challenges may seem fun, the science shows masturbating regularly well into one’s 40s could truly save lives by decreasing prostate cancer risk. For optimal health, striving for 21+ monthly masturbation sessions appears the way to go.
A baby boy in Pakistan was born with an incredibly rare medical condition known as diphallia, which means he has two working penises but no anus. According to a team of researchers who published their findings in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, the chances of being born with this condition are one in six million. Diphallia can present as complete or incomplete and is often associated with complex urological, gastrointestinal, or anorectal malformations.
The abstract of the study revealed that the boy’s penises were both normal-shaped, with one being slightly larger than the other at 2.5 cm and 1.5 cm in length, respectively. The boy had two separate urethral orifices, and both phalluses had normal-shaped glans with urethral openings located in the typical position. He had a single scrotum with two midline raphe and well-formed rouge. The boy was passing urine from both orifices, and an ultrasonography of his urological system showed two ureters and a single hemi bladder.
After being admitted to the hospital, the baby boy underwent surgery, and a sigmoid-divided colostomy was constructed. During the operation, the doctors also identified a congenital pouch colon. To enable the baby to pass stools, the doctors created an opening via a colonoscopy.
