Researchers at Johns Hopkins University, Maryland, who studied 100 men and women newly diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer and 200 healthy people have confirmed that oral sex can cause oropharyngeal cancer. Georgia Nursing Schools documented that Oral Sex Could Give more Throat Cancer than Smoking.
Current studies have confirmed oral sex as one of the major causative factors of mouth/throat cancers. The potency of oral sex to cause mouth cancer is much virulent than carcinogens in tobacco and alcohol. Oral sex has the high risk of transmitting HIV/AIDS. It has been confirmed that 'infection by human papilloma virus (HPV) related to the sexual practice is already the leading cause of oral cancer (mouth and throat tumors), apart from cancer caused by cigarette smoking. These findings are consistent with studies which argue that' those 'who have engaged in oral sex with more than six individuals are eight times more likely to develop this disease than the less promiscuous. According to the National Cancer Institute, there are 150 different types of HPV (cancers) and 40 of them can be transmitted sexually.
When it comes to rocking a rubber, you may pride yourself on being responsible. But what about oral sex? When compared with full-on intercourse, oral is usually considered a lower-risk sexual activity—but a recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that it's actually becoming a popular method for spreading sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Before you two taste each other's forbidden fruit, make sure you're clean.
What are some of the main culprits?Syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, according to the review.
The good news: All three of those are curable.
The bad news: HPV and herpes—both of which have only treatments, not cures—are also extremely common when it comes to oral STIs, says J. Dennis Fortenberry, M.D., professor at Indiana University's School of Medicine
The more practical move: Make sure the two of you get tested before any sexual activity. But there's a catch: You've got to request an oral exam. "Many clinics only test the genitals," says Fortenberry. "So if you're testing for, say gonorrhea or chlamydia, a test from the genitals will not say one thing about whether there's an infection in the throat."
What's more, many oral STIs come with little to no side effects, says Fortenberry. Since many people are unaware they need to be tested orally, the statistical evidence is lacking in terms of how many are actually walking around infected.
Your simple solution: Find out whether or not you're at risk by having your doc grab a quick saliva sample.
Also, other studies have documented that women who have taken more than one sexual partners in their life time have the risk of getting cervical cancer. Think of effects of oral sex! Virus can incubate at the private part of a woman for many years without any sign of cancer if she takes good care of the body through high intake of fruits/vegetables, physical activities, etc. This does not mean that the virus is dead or inactive to infect. The virus is now dormant due to strong immune system.
Finally, when a man licks a woman he has the high risk of licking Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), HIV, candidiasis, syphilis, left over of menstruation, faeces, hepatitis, and other cancer cells. When a woman as well licks male genitals, she also has the tendency of licking HIV, hepatitis and primary syphilis that can cause painless sores on the genitals.
