Five years ago, when actor Michael Douglas candidly revealed that his throat cancer was linked to having oral sex, two things happened.
He made headlines that mortified his family. And he helped publicize the fact that a pervasive, sexually transmitted virus called HPV was unleashing an epidemic of oral cancer among men.
Since then, scientists have made headway in figuring out why HPV, the human papillomavirus, has this glaring gender bias. Men are four times more likely than women to be diagnosed with oral cancer, a hard-to-detect, hard-to-treat disease that has overtaken cervical cancer as the most common HPV-related malignancy in the United States.
To be sure, changes in sexual norms over the last few generations have played a role in this alarming trend. But research increasingly shows the real problem is something men have practically no control over: their immune response.

Supposedly, the PSA test was not a good predictor of prostate cancer.
“Why do all the girls in the hpv commercials look like lesbos?”
“Hello, nice to see you. We’re casting for actors to be in a documentary about the hpv virus. I’d like you to please stand for me...”
My boys are
This virus is most definitely transmitted via chowing at the branch
From oral sex on the coochie
What it means I the most fun there is in life for a real man has its dangers
A lot of women have HPV. And don’t know it till they get preggers and get tested then
You can get exposed and you immune system beats it down
Or not
They can if one or the other had intimacy with others before marriage
I see the virtue signaler crowd got you
Wonder which one ratted u
This is a kook thread to a degree
Much as I detested the socially libtard hateful caustic nature of Clown Posse
They woulda loved pulping get this thread of freepers making fools of themselves
Well done
Little factoid...a big segment here don’t have sex....they simply critique those who do as imperfects
its like ambien....women will not be allowed to be prescribed 10mg very soon....TPTB came up with a study showing how women are affected by 10mg so now, only half a dose for you!
have they ever eliminated a test or a drug (like Viagra) for men?.....told them they didn't need prostate tests for example?..
well, there's the problem....all the women "you" have been with have also been with all the men...
Yes, as I said, both need to be virgins.
Best advice.
Well i hope it goes ok....you can never be completely sure..time can change things...but best wishes nevertheless..
Why would he ever kiss anything else?
Vaccinating kids for STD and expecting casual sex is like giving them a bike helmet and letting them play of the freeway.
“Michael Becker of Yardley has stepped up as the face of this immunological inequity. The 49-year-old former biotech executive is health-conscious, clean-living, happily married for 26 years – and battling terminal oropharyngeal cancer, the medical term for malignancies in parts of the mouth and throat.”
That is truly a nightmare. Godspeed.
Haha! Yeah. A great ad campaign. Some of the old ones are still the best.
“Yes, as I said, both need to be virgins.”
Except that wouldn’t help in this case.
Actually, I believe that Prostate exams, like pap smears, HAVE been rationed for men. Do you realize that, under the general guidelines, Pap smears are not available for women after age 65.....unless you have symptoms. The reason that paps have been so successful at cutting the cervical cancer rate is because abnormal cells usually exfoliate long before there are obvious symptoms. If you are over 65 and have symptoms, such as bleeding, you are likely going to die. When a post menopausal woman has symptoms, the cancer is USUALLY well advanced. Now, not all pump women with symptoms are going to die, but I tell all my friends to keep getting those paps....just tell the doc that you have pain or something.
*pump*=pmp..........means post-menopausal
Aren’t you the cunning linguist!
