LOL, thread title of the year!

Re: Wouldn't it suck...
 

This is not cool. I need to take some extra precautions to not let my wife hear about this. Its hard enough to get one from her.

Clever title BTW!

You know I saw this story this morning but I held off on posting it. LOL

Re: Wouldn't it suck...
 

Wow. That's some tough news to swallow

Re: Wouldn't it suck...
 

Just what she needs: another excuse! :doh:

Well, as men, all we can really do is hope that the story blows over.

Re: Wouldn't it suck...
 

And the puns continue, how about this one:

Thanks for the heads up on this article!

Our government needs to stop blowing loads of cash on these kinds of studies.

Re: Wouldn't it suck...
 

Going in the other direction...

The results of this study seem fishy to me...

Re: Wouldn't it suck...
 

My friend Jimmy might have a problem with this study.

Give me a break. If this were true, half the women in the country would have throat cancer....

Re: Wouldn't it suck...
 

That's disappointing...only half?

Hess, you're turning a thread full of delightful puns into a statistical debate. For shame.

The study does not say "give head, get cancer." It says that oral sex with mutliple partners INCREASES THE RISK of getting throat cancer. That means you're MORE LIKELY to get cancer as a result of the HPV virus in your throat. But you could be one of the lucky ones who gives head to people who just don't happen to have HPV - then you won't get cancer. Or you could get HPV, and still not develop cancer.

The more partners you perform unprotected oral sex on, the more likely you are to get cancer. Of course it's true. But it doesn't mean you'll definitely get cancer.

Ugh. By your logic, smoking doesn't cause lung cancer.

Re: Wouldn't it suck...
 

Generally speaking, more partners = more risk.

Not exactly rocket science.
