Rob--
The article above says that one can get infected
by performing oral sex. And I read one a few months
ago which said that men could get anal cancers, etc.
The situation seems to be that cancers arise at the
site where the infection is introduced, and that a
penis is relatively resistant to infection-induced
cancer.
So it depends who is defining what kind of sex *MEN*
have. I'm sure there will be some who think that
"only women and perverts are at risk". This would
all make for an interesting debate in the Legislature--
keep us posted? : )
