Public Service Announcement. Oral sex can pass along a virus called Human Papilloma virus (HPV). It is probably the most common STD. And is one of the most common causes of cervical cancer in women.
Since more men are going down on women, more men are getting this in their throats, which is causing throat cancer (Michael Douglas had it too).
I know a lot of people think oral cancer is low risk for STDs, and it is lower risk, but it's still there.
Point of this post is to tell you to get the HPV vaccine. It cuts the risk of not only getting throat cancer yourself, but getting genital warts (also caused by HPV). Additionally, you don't want to get HPV and give it to someone else. For those that cheat, if your wife had a pap smear that tested for HPV, and they were negative, and they had another a few years later and it's now positive, they're going to wonder how they got it (assuming they aren't cheating themselves).
