No findings which would support her "suspicions" are presented. If anything, it appears likely the downturn in smoking may have made the mouths more susceptible to HPV taking hold. I'm fairly certain oral sex and kissing have been going steady all along.
I wonder, does anyone know if theirs been a lowering in the percentage of marriages since the study began? ....Becuase we all know that when a couple marries the oral sex ends. Perhaps that's the reason??
Did you even read the article, or understand it? The increase in the human papillomavirus (HPV) has been traced back to the 1970's, when sexual behavior loosened generally in Europe and the western world. Prior to that time, oral sex didn't put you at risk for cancer because you probably weren't carrying HPV in your mouth. So yes, oral sex and kissing have been around for a long time, but since the 1970's it's been tainted with an extra risk.
Oral sex has risen sharply over the past several years, and it's continues to steadily rise as an increasing number of adolescences are engaging in the act. http://www.impactlab.com/2006/09/04/huge-rise-in-teen-oral-sex/
So if I understand this thread . . . married woman don't give blowjobs, but adolescences are doing it more and more. I wonder why so many men are attracted to the "younger population" . . . I might have found the answer.
You are also missing the point of the article. The women who are now coming down with this type of cancer contracted it over twenty years ago. It takes at least that long for the cancer to show up. Girls may be engaging in oral sex more today than they used to, but that's irrelevant to the topic at hand.
Thanks for the correction. What makes you think young girls are doing it more and more?. . . time to open up your mind a little.
