I just read this today...sorry I couldn't find the link online to post it for you!
Q: I read recently that you can get mouth cancer from going down on a woman. Is this true, or one of those urban myths?
A: Unfortunately, it's no myth: Researchers have found that the human papillomavirus strain HPV16-which is know to cause cervical cancer-can lead to oral cancer. Guys aren't the only ones at risk either: Woman can get cancer from performing fellatio on an infected man. Other studies have shown that one-third of 25-year-old women are infeced with the human papillomavirus, most without even realizing it. But there is some good news: A vaccine is under development and could be available in the next few years. More important, for a variety of complicated reasons, the risk of contracting oral cancer this way is exceedingly low - about one in 50,000. If that's still too much of a rick for you and your partner, you may each want to get the simple HPV test. I'm sure you can find some other activities to keep yourselves occipied while you wait for the results.
I guess the good news is this gives you a green light to go after women younger than 25!
