The key is near-daily ejaculation, so if they're willing to help out, that's fine.

On the other hand (heh), the study also mentions the involvement of Roman Catholic priests.

Yeah, I was waiting to see how the Catholic Church and powers-that-be dealt with this piece of unpleasant (for them) information, but since the media buried it under the mattress like a stack of nudie magazines, I guess it's not a problem. God forbid anyone should advocate something that's free, safe, and enjoyable, doesn't make you fat and doesn't involve you having to buy any specialized equipment or gear (in most cases, at least)...
