According to this New Scientist article "People who have had more than five oral-sex partners in their lifetime are 250% more likely to have throat cancer than those who do not have oral sex, a new study suggests. The researchers believe this is because oral sex may transmit human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus implicated in the majority of cervical cancers. The new findings should encourage people to consistently use condoms during oral sex as this could protect against HPV, the team says. Other experts say that the results provide more reason for men to receive the new HPV vaccine."
In a study of one strain of the virus, those infected were seen to have an incidence of throat cancer 32 times higher than those never having been exposed. In another strain of the virus the incidence was 58 times greater. According to the researchers, "By comparison, either smoking or drinking increases the risk of such cancer by about threefold."
So this is just great.
Not only do you have to battle throat cancer you have to battle the new stigma that comes with it. "Hey cock-face how ya doin today?" When you get diagnosed do you get judging stares from the doctor?
Will oral sex questions be part of the diagnosis? "Do you live under powerlines? Do you smoke? Have you had five or more different cocks in your mouth in your lifetime?"
This is horrible.

A condom for oral sex? Why bother? Geesh, these studies take the fun out of living.
Repugnican nonsense is what it is!
Meh.
We're all gonna die anyway. Live a little.
Or suck a lot.
Amem.
I don;t think anyone who reads this falls into the category, but it sounds as though it's transferrable from vaginal/oral contact as well, esp. considering HPV is thought to cause cervical cancer. Then after the throat surgury and having difficult speaking pepole can use that famous lie from The Sound of Music when the mother abess is talking to Marie after returning to the abby, "What is it you cunt face?"
it does sound like a load of homo hating B.S.
and if 5 is 250% more likely, then i am in serious trouble.
Howard Stern show cleared this issue up and said it was str8 men or lesbian women who go down on other women ONLY.
