The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsOh Cr*p!
My throat's a little hoarse.
It seems we may have something to worry about now that oral sex may lead to throat cancer.
Human papillomavirus (HPV), which can be transmitted during oral sex, is the main cause of oropharyngeal (throat) cancer, researchers found. The study is the first to prove the link.Uh... I'm off to the doctor.Researchers compared 100 men and women who were recently diagnosed with oral cancer with 200 similar people without the disease.
They found that participants who reported having oral sex -- fellatio or cunnilingus -- with six or more partners were at the highest risk (8.6 times more) of develping throat cancer.
Lol.
Kidding, of course. I'm innocent, I tells ya.
But, for all those sitting on the edge of their seats right now, don't fret. It seems there is little likelihood of actually getting it and there is help to protect against the HPV strains.
*phew*
Screw on, folks, screw on.

Six or more partners? Hell, if they're doing that much oral sex they should worry more about getting bad knees, and calluses on their lips/tongues...
