Well, I certainly hope not, because this article involves the dangers of “French kissing.” Yeah, those lousy frogs are ruining all of our fun yet again.
NEW YORK - Oral sex and open-mouthed “French” kissing increase the risk of acquiring oral infections of human papillomavirus, or HPV, a study shows.
“Performing oral sex is not without risks,” Dr. Maura L. Gillison told Reuters Health.
Must . . . resist . . . wiseass . . . comment!
It is associated with gonorrheal pharyngitis - a sexually transmitted infection of the tonsils and back of the throat that immediately causes symptoms, she noted, and now is associated with mouth HPV infections that are silent “yet may lead to oral cancer 10 to 20 years later.”
Gillison from The Ohio State University, Columbus, and colleagues explored whether sexual behaviors were associated with the odds of oral HPV infection in 332 adults and in 210 college-aged men. They found that 4.8 percent of the adults and 2.9 percent of college-aged men had oral HPV infection. (H/T - )
