Guest denstl Report post Posted May 12, 2007 Oral sex has been linked to throat cancer in a new study by the New England Journal of Medicine. 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. 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. "It's the human papillomavirus that drives the cancer," Dr. Maura Gillison, the lead author of the study, told The Globe and Mail. Gillison, an assistant professor of oncology and epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md., said the more oral-sex partners an individual has, the greater the risk is of getting oral cancer. Researchers found that those with HPV infection were 32 times more likely to develop oropharyngeal cancer -- regardless of the previously established risk factors of tobacco and alcohol use. While there is no screening test for the cancer, Gillison said the risk is relatively low. "People should be reassured that oropharyngeal cancer is relatively uncommon, and the overwhelming majority of people with an oral HPV infection probably will not get throat cancer," said Gillison. There is also a new vaccine -- Gardasil -- that protects against several strains of HPV, including the one linked to oral cancer. However, it has not been specifically tested in relation to oral cancer. The Tories have set aside $300-million for an HPV vaccination program for girls aged nine to 11 but debate remains about the long-term effectiveness and morality of the plan. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, 3,200 Canadians will get oral cancer in 2007 and 1,100 will die from the disease. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070510/oralsex_cancer_070510/20070510?hub=Health - 31k - 11 May 2007 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Marcus Report post Posted May 29, 2007 I recently came back from Australia where escorting/sps is totally legal and found there system is much better for protecting clients. Everything is regulated and women provided service through brothels. These places are very clean and they provide drinks for the clients plus affordable The rooms are luxurious with special theme rooms and there are showers in all the rooms with towels, the ladies dry you down. They really take care of you. All the rooms have large bath tubs for relaxing and tvs. All the women are tested regularly , including throat swabs. It has now been reported there that it is safer to have sex in brothels then meeting someone randomly in a club. We should bring these laws here. Makes things much safer for everyone. check out the link for one of the top brothels in sydney http://www.stiletto.net.au/ lets face the facts sex is a part of our life. Its healthy. Why are north americans hiding this. There is no need for everything to be hidden and under the table. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
