Oral sex & Throat Cancer Posted: 03-18-08 13:31pm


I was reading an article on the internet & it said: "People who have had more than five oral-sex partners in their lifetime are 250% more likely to have throat cancer than those who do not have oral sex. The researchers believe this is because oral sex may transmit human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus implicated in the majority of cervical cancers." I was suprised when i read that..... what do you guys think about that?

Thanks meblonde, I suppose I should have stopped being lazy and found it myself Does oral sex cause cancer? Nope Oral sex with a stranger/multiple strangers who have an infection commonly linked with cancer? Uh, yeah I can see that. If you're going to have any sexual contact with someone then you should make sure BOTH of you are checked for stds OR you use protection. Thats what I think.
