Be Safe, Not Sorry
I read an article over the weekend, that was originally written in July 2008, by Dr. Edward C. Geehr, M.D. about oral sex causing throat cancer
In an era of HIV and chastity rings, teenagers and young adults – roughly 75% of them – have turned to oral sex as a “less risky” option. But it’s not safe sex. And while it won’t get you pregnant, it can still get you into big trouble. For the first time ever, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have established a link between oral sex, the human papillomavirus (the same virus that causes cervical cancer) and throat cancer. That adds to a roster of risks already tied to oral sex: herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV…
This is scary news for the rising numbers of young people choosing oral sex over intercourse.
One Johns Hopkins professor notes that since 1990, the percentage of male patients at his clinic alone who have had oral sex has risen from 50% to about 75%; for women and girls, from 25% to about 75%.
That’s a huge number exposing themselves to this cancer … And the article went on~
As I was reading... the obvious kept slapping me in the face. All of this is pretty much a result of promiscuity, kids having unbridled sex, irresponsibility and bad living. And the only way we are going to get this under control is to get our lives and standards under control. It is pretty sad to think that we are living in an era that by the time our kids graduate from college and life is really supposed to begin their health and sex lives are already damaged for good.
