My fiance likes to give me oral love play to help me orgasm. But a friend told me it could give me throat cancer. Is that possible?
No, it is the person who is giving the oral sex who is at a slightly increased risk of getting throat cancer. This is because the human papilloma virus (HPV), which sometimes causes cancer, can be transmitted through this and other types of sexual contact. However, the risk is thought to be very low.
