Adding Poignancy to the Time-Honored Phrase "I'd Rather Die Than Do That"

Oral sex causes cancer, at least according to a Swedish study.

The same virus that is behind uteral cancer is now thought to be linked to tonsillary cancer, and scientists at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet say changed sexual habits and more oral sex are part of the problem.

During the last 30 years the rate of tonsil cancer has increased dramatically in Sweden despite a significant decrease in smoking.  During that same period, apparently, oral sex has increased in popularity.

If there's good news in this study it's this:

1. HPV-caused tonsil cancer is easier to treat than other tonsil cancers
2. You're not at as much risk of getting the cancer if you're monogamous
3. No women I know read Swedish medical journals
