Ask a medical doctor or spend time searching. My perception is that trauma caused by oral intercourse is usually not significant beyond facilitating the transmission of STIs. Besides, the mouth has a very effective defense mechanism to prevent serious injury from occuring.


Anyway, the linked article doesn't explain the whole story about this STI: According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[1] on genital HPV infection (oral sex is not included, but it should be), there are more than 40 types (strains) of the virus, and HPV infects the skin and mucous membranes. The CDC claims that genital HPV is the most common STI, and that most people with it do not develop symptoms. There can be multiple infections of different viral strains[2] as well.

Envision a receptive woman having unprotected intercourse with many partners in three orifices (or a homosexual man in two). Consider that, over time, she could be accumulating different strains of high-risk HPV in her throat, on her cervix, and scattered throughout her rectal mucosa (among other locations along the way). My guess is that the risk of developing cancer increases substantially with the presence of many different HPV infections. A weakened immune system could also contribute to that. But there is some good news:

"In 90% of cases, the body’s immune system clears the HPV infection naturally within two years. This is true of both high-risk and low-risk types... A vaccine can now protect females from the four types of HPV that cause most cervical cancers and genital warts." [1]

Use common sense, be safe, have fun, and live your damn life.

Truuuuuuuuuth!

Not entirely on subject but not entirely off either... doesn't pretty much EVERYTHING we do in this world cause some sort of health risk or another? At that, why even bother to care? Do you really want to live to be 150? 200? To do that you have to sacrifice everything fun about life and live a boring uneventful life... Which in my opinion is NOT living. WHAT is the POINT? Just to die at an older age than most people? Woooo good for you, you're still going to die

Nice posting. I would like to point out that 30 percent of women that do not have the HPV virus will still get cervical cancer. If you are a women and have not had those shots, I hope that you will consider it. I believe it is three different shots.

No one will live to be 150 to 200. We are all going to die. No one wants to die of cancer. It is a horrible death. You can still have fun and be cautious. :thumbsup:

Well thats exactly what jose qian some guy in China who works for some german radio station said and now he's contracted HIV. Apparently he's been sleeping around and infected several other people. Its amazing what we get to know from the guy after he gets drunk and starts to boast.
