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.

Stupid games /prizes? It’s sex. It’s intimacy. And have never heard of a man or woman who does not participate in oral sex.
Hpv, on the other hand, can lead to oral cancer as well as cervical cancer, etc. This article is just bringing to attention that hpv can lead to oral cancer.
There is also a big push to vaccinate all pre- teens with the HPV vaccination. I’m not an anti- vaxxer, however I’ve read about disturbing risks and adverse long term effects from the hpv vaccine. That is the only one I said ‘no thank you’ to for my child. They were even offering them in school (with authorization from a parent). It just wasn’t worth the risk.
“Here’s a pic of his wife. I’ll let you decide.”
I’d....never mind.
But, surprisingly, oral sex by women to men has been shown to cure cancer. (or at least that’s the rumor I am starting.)

Freepers are usually above using that jive-ass racist language. We generally have high IQs, understand constitutional principles, are deeply patriotic, and don’t stoop to anti-black, anti-Jew, anti-Catholic, or even anti-Latino talk. We see ideas, and people, for who they are. I guess there are a few exceptions but the minute we’re as simple minded and racist as liberals, I’m out of here.
“It was tested on a cohort of women in France.”
Who hold their liquor...by the ears.
I hate to be a Holy Roller, but the Bible tells us sin has consequences, espacially unrepentant sin.
Women who get HPV get it in most cases because of random, promiscuous sex. Sin. Men who get from these women get it from random, promiscuous sex. Sin.
The modern attitude about sex, especially among millennials, is hit it and quit it. There is no emotions involved, no love, no nothing.
This world will laugh at those who will wait until marriage for sex, but it is those who wait who don’t have to worry about getting AIDS, STD’s or HPV.
Too many issues with gardasil. Only a small fraction of those who get hpv (and specific strains at that) will go on to get cancer. My child was vaccinated for everything, but this one had not been out long enough to prove itself. They push it hard too.
The risk of destroying a child’s life is about equal with the possibility of cancer. Cancer is treatable. I researched this vaccine pretty thoroughly and The negative effects on a child from the vaccine are just terrible.
You like slang? OK, here ya go. I taught my boys to refer to "The Family Jewels."
First being that nobody in the MSM reported it.
“And have never heard of a man or woman who does not participate in oral sex”
Where do you live, Penthouse Suites? It is not all that uncommon.
Yes. Very unusual these days...
“They can if either husband or wife was sexually active before marriage. How many women remain virgin until married anymore, let alone men? “
Sexually active after marriage? You jest.
In care of Merck, drug industry manfacturer and promoter of Gardasil.
Some guys like eating at the Y.
Sperm is, like, bare exposed haploid DNA. No protective membrane. In its most-exposed-to-mutagens state. The wife's genital tract is by far the right place where it can do the least harm and the most good.
None that I know so far, and I am at an age where I've already lost a number of friends.

Well, not engaging in oral sex would work too.
And you wouldn’t need to inject yet another foreign substance in your body that you really don’t need to if you are responsible.
Diseases that you pick up like tetanus and diphtheria, etc, are one thing.
Diseases caused by behavior can be stopped in their tracks by not engaging in the behavior.
Yes. Very unusual these days...
FR isn’t supposed to tolerate racist terms.
