A Rise In “Deep Throat” Cancer

Written by Vivianne

We mentioned it before: since 1994 it has become way more “normal” to engage in oral sex (and I’m the first to encourage it), but boys and girls, careful with your naughty road head habits! You could catch deep throat cancer!

Doctors say that changing sexual behaviors – earlier sex, more partners and especially oral sex – are contributing to a new epidemic of orpharyngeal squamous cell cancers, those of the throat, tonsils and base of the tongue.

Furthermore, the research implies that more and more men are giving blowjobs! Random?

For years now, doctors have urged young women to be vaccinated against the human papilloma virus (HPV), which is believed to cause cervical cancer.

But now, growing research in Europe and the United States is implicating HPV in a rising number of cases of head and neck cancers in men, and many doctors are recommending that all boys be vaccinated as well.

These cancers can be deadly, and are striking men at a younger age and in increasing numbers.
