LOL the risk is for women. So that means you like to suck....

:p

BLAST! Thats what I get for rushing and trying to post from work, not reading articles<--- THATS whats confirmed... ;)!

What it doesn't apply to eatin p*ssy too? I find that hard to believe, I mean the problem is supposedly caused by HPV, right? I didn't bother to read the article... ;)

If it doesn't apply for both then I call some serious shens on this article.

No, they are just idiots who don't know what "cunnilingus" means.

To quote from article:
"The researchers think both cunnilingus and fellatio can infect people's mouths," the magazine added.

PHEW! SAVED! Thats what I thought, but kt, I owe you a :beer: !

People try to link anything to cancer now. The hopelessness of not having a cure for it means that all we can do is attempt to prevent it, which means studying correlations about causes. The problem with this research though, is that they usuall either interview people who have had cancer, asking them a range of questions, for instance, "Do you eat bread?" "You do, okay, how frequently?" "Very frequently? Thanks a bunch."

Then when, unsurprisingly, a bunch of other people show this "correlation", the news jumps on it because they know that they can get the line out a few hours before they go on their air.. "New shocking revalation that could prevent YOU from getting cancer... more at 5." Of course every gullible person watches hoping that they can seal the deal and prevent themselves from EVER having cancer watches...

Correlations in causes of cancer and certain actions or products are nothing more than frequent coincidences. Only once in every so often can an actual medical and/or scientific proof be given that actually gives a good reason behind alarming people.

Well, nice to know there's three other people in this world who aren't ignorant of basic statistics.

the title is bad. it's not the oral sex, it's a sexually transmitted disease that you can get from oral sex that can later cause cancer. just sticking something in your mouth isn't going to give you cancer.

(although if you do it too much, like OIKOS, then it might make your teeth bad). ;)
