<LONDON (Reuters) - Although the risk is small and it is more likely to result from heavy drinking and smoking, scientists have uncovered evidence that oral sex can cause mouth cancer.

Researchers had suspected that a sexually transmitted infection that is linked to cervical cancer could also be associated with tumors in the mouth.


Now a study by researchers working for the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France seems to have confirmed it.


"Oral sex can lead to oral tumors," New Scientist magazine said Wednesday, referring to the latest research.>

I don't even listen to the "this and that cause cancer" crowd anymore. If I did I'd be worried to death every day.

4. From what it said

I think it would depend on whether or not your partner had an STD. I'm sure that if you've been with the same fellow for a number of years and you're both true to each other, this won't happen.
