I've not heard that. Though it makes a certain amount of sense that while you're still developing and perhaps experiencing more partners (or maybe more sex) you might be more at risk for cervical cancer - but even young virgin nuns get cervical cancer ...

However, one of the best known causes of cervical cancer is the human papilloma virus. There are many strains of the virus and only a few are known to cause cervical cancer. If you're concerned about this important risk factor for cancer, have your gyno screen you for the high-risk strains (and your soon-to-be hubby).

There is a slightly lower risk of ovarian cancer for women who use birth control pills for more than five years, and a tubal ligation can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer more than threefold.

Barrier methods are really the best way to protect yourself from both disease and pregancy. A screening for hpv is probably in order anyway as you are starting a new life together and possibly a family. The best thing you can do for yourself is find a good doctor and get your screenings done faithfully - cervical cancer is easily detected and treated these days.

Take care.

What do you call people who use the rhythm method for birth control? ... "Parents."

In my extensive reading on the subject (internet only, mind you) I've never seen anything about cancer being caused by semen. Just be sure you're both clean of STDs and everything should be okay (as far as disease goes).

I found a couple articles that explained that "if you already have this cancer" or you "are likely to get this cancer" (it's in your familial bloodline), than the male partner should wear a condom. The article stated that the hormone prostaglandin
(found in semen) aggravates the cancer and more tumors happen.

So, go to the doc...maybe look through your family...see your possibility of developing this cancer later on. Seems to me you should be fine though. They is not widely known...so, I will use a logical fallacy and assume it doesn't happen frequently.

The only time (that I know of) that cervical cancer can be caused by sex is if your partner has (and gives you) HPV. You can take a vaccine that protects against HPV. But if your partner is clean of STD's, then it's not really a concern.
