Oral sex can cause throat cancer

[AB Asks]

Scientists have warned that oral sex can raise your risk of getting throat cancer. The study found the act can pass on human papillomavirus (HPV), which can trigger the specific cancer in men and women. They claim it is an even bigger killer than smoking or drinking. What do you think? Would this put you off the act?

Oh come on AB we had this question yesterday. Keep up

[grumpii]

I would rather get cancer from oral sex than smoking.

I dont know if I actually believe it though! Can you get it thru normal sex?

Umm I dunno if it wud put me off. Maybe if there was hardcore evidence!!!

[4getmenot]

course you can kayl cervical cancer

[Skreecheeboy]

HPV is only transmitable if one of the people involved in the act has it already, much like any other STD, however this is one that can be passed on orally, the same as HSV1 and 2, the risks have always been there, this is just telling us that you can get throat cancer from this particular disease.

AB Ed, if anyone is carrying out further research trials, can I volunteer myself?

[Rubyrose]

Didn't we have this yesterday! Shows how much AB reads the threads!

Thing is.. the link said they only tested 300 who already had throat cancer and asked them about their sex lives! Now in my personal opinion.. if you smoke, and drink heavily.. you have slightly less respect for your body so are more likely to perform unprotected oral sex!

That's my theory anyway!

[Kaylz1988]

No I dont agree Ruby Rose. If you've been for someone for a long time. Come on who enjoys giving head with a condomn on!!!!

[4getmenot]

so what are you saying ruby, People that do this have no respect from themselves??? I think many people would disagree

[Kaylz1988]

Plus if you've been with someone for a while. I've been with my bloke three years and we dont use condomns! Thats our decision. Its not something we did straight away. After a year or so of being 2geva! If you were a kind of person to jump into bed and give head to everyone u just meet, then yeah I would agree.

big it up for kaylz :-)

[Octavius]

Why do AB Asks, never give any stars in their Qs? I feel used. And not in altogether nice way.

[grumpii]

I will do my best ;)

[Kaylz1988]

:-) lol

[raysparx1]

Well then ED, stop doing it !!!!!

[Rubyrose]

Ok.. it seems people completely misunderstood what I was trying to say!

I don't mean people who give unprotected oral in relationships.. I mean someone who gives it constantly on one night stands and things like that!

[Rubyrose]

I gave unprotected in my old relationship all the time.. thats not the issue!
