'Baby boomers' hit by sex cancers

Sexual "liberation" may have fuelled cancer rates

The arrival of the "swinging sixties" may have heralded a rise in sexually-transmitted cancers, say researchers.

Rates of anal, vulval and vaginal cancers rose for "baby boomers" born in the decades after the Second World War.

The culprit, said the King's College London study, is the human papillomavirus (HPV), acquired during sex.

Changes in sexual habits may be responsible, the British Journal of Cancer reported.

These results have revealed a snapshot of just how much rates of these cancers have increased in the post war generations Dr David Robinson King's College London

HPV has been implicated in a number of cancers, including cervical, anal, vulval, vaginal and penile.

Some estimates suggest that up to three out of four people will be infected with it at some point in their lives, although the immune system is normally able to destroy it.

“Want Longer Lasting Sex?- Nasal Delivery Technology”

or

“Want Shorter Lasting Pregnancy?- NARAL Delivery Technology”

And what ABOUT abortion- I’m sure that abortions lead to a greater-risk of women’s cancers.

"rapidly increasing number of women are getting anal cancer"

This is one of the main reasons why it will be increasingly difficult to make a public case against homosexuality in general or homosexual marriage in particular.

Traditionally the only acceptable form of sex was vaginal intercourse. The only way for this to occur was between one man and one woman.

As soon as oral and anal sex became acceptable among heterosexuals it became impossible to make a non-hypocritical case against it among homosexuals.

Our high divorce rate is an ongoing indictment of heterosexual disrespect of marriage. The high divorce rate is paradoxically one of the main arguments that gays use to ask for the extension of marriage to themselves: heterosexuals may claim that marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman, but our actions show otherwise.

We are well on our way down the slippery slope ... which has been made even more slippery with KY jelly.

I have 34 years of experience in cancer detection. The incidence of HPV is epidemic, particularly in college age girls. The incidence of gay men contracting anal HPV is skyrocketing. Yet no one in Big Media tells the story. The ‘Free Love’ attitude of the 60’s is coming home to roost. The HPV vaccine protects against SOME strains of HPV but viruses are notorious for mutating. IMO young people need to be taught self control. But the new Administration is stuck on the ‘Free Love’ aspect and ‘get an abortion if you need it’. I think the reason the Dems had so many young voters last election is that Dems don't expect a person to take any responsibility for their actions. Sadly many of these young people will be forced to take responsibility for their diseases. I think it contributes to the breakdown of our society and culture. But that's what the Dems want, isn't it?

Wow.
I am simultaneously impressed with your play on words AND revolted at the same time.

Sperm readily penetrates the anal wall (which is only one cell thick) and gains direct access to the blood stream. This causes massive immunological damage to the body's T- and B-cell defensive systems. Manlight, G. et. al.

*Please* tell me that that was not the author's real name!

This line does not belong anywhere near your tagline...

Cheers!

This is the reason that the Gardasil vaccine is being pushed in this country. Mamas don’t want their daughters to grow up and possibly contract HPV, so they think that getting this shot will forestall that. The vaccine doesn’t protect for all forms of HPV, but NOT having multiple sex partners will make it much less likely for the girls to get the virus. It’s a shame their Mamas aren’t telling girls THAT tidbit of info.

Human Papilloma Virus has also been implicated in Head and Neck cancers. I know of several non-smokers in their 30’s who have developed Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the tongue or tonsil that tested positive for the virus.

It sounds like today’s plague of STD’s and AIDS is similar or the same as what was spoken of before.

(Rom 1:27) “And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.”

As will be the judgment upon it.

(Jude 1:7) “Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”

The problem of defending a moral position is that you either:

1) Refuse to discuss the immoral position ... even to the point of refusing to actually voice or write down what the immoral position or actions are. In this case your argument is clean and wholesome, but is ineffective as your opponent can always claim that you are not clearly defining what it is you oppose, or

2) Clearly defining the immoral position and risk scandalizing your supporters and getting people in general used to the idea of using such terminology, i.e. winning a battle or two, but losing the war.

We used to not even talk about humans who wished to have conjugal relations with other humans of the same sex: it was literally unimaginable for most people.

Then a few of those individuals decided to speak up. At first they were met with stony silence. Then they were met with highly choreographed speech raising opposition to their opininons without fully describing what it was that was opposed. Then the rhetoric on both sides got more and more explicit as the battle was fully joined.

The initial method of silence and modesty didn't work. The later method of explicit confrontation didn't work.

I wish I knew what works, but all I see right now is an inevitable slide toward moderated debauchery. Everyone still needs to work for a living and needs to have some level of dignity amongst their friends and family. So there won't be any mass public orgies any time soon. However, there will be the slow acceptance of more and more sexual variations that will undermine the traditional structures of Judeo-Christian society.
