Oral Sex, Cancer and Science

[weaktwos]

This is interesting: Risk of a rare throat cancer is 9 times higher for people with more than 6 sex partners.

Now, consider it's a rare form of cancer. Hopefully it stays that way.
HPV16, the Human papilloma virus, is related to this. Hence the oral sex issues.
The study was only done involving 100 men and women diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer and 200 controls.
And finally, poor dental maintenance is also a factor in head and neck related cancers. Brush those toofies, folks.

The list keeps getting longer and longer on how you can fuck up your life by having unsafe sex with the wrong person.

You can fuck up your life having unsafe sex with the right person, too.

Any time sex is involved, you get fucked up.

And if it is a 9x risk, someone has it with only one sex partner. Maybe even the one they saved themselves for. Wouldn't that be a bitch, unless it comes after a lifetime of great oral sex with the same person.

No, having unsafe sex with someone who is not disease free is, by my definition, the wrong person. You may think that person is the right person, but they aren't. The right people to have unsafe sex with are those that have only love and affection to transmit.

Now the standards of "right" for safe sex are a bit more lax.
