Abstinence Education, Anyone?

According to a story in Reuters,, the number of HPV-induced head and neck cancers spread by oral sex is rising sharply, particularly in what is supposed to be the enlightened West. And it is particularly prominent among the young and employed.

The cancer is called oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and it is as ugly as it sounds.

President Bill Clinton, in his sordid affair with Monica Lewinsky, convinced an entire generation that oral sex wasn't really sex.

Only 20% of college students consider oral sex "sex," according to a new study to appear in the journal Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health. The authors of the study attribute the "reconceptualization" of oral sex to the president's conduct with the young intern, and even call it the "Clinton-Lewinsky effect."

 Now the bill has come due, as the human papillomavirus (HPV) is wreaking havoc on the sexual health of a staggering total of 640,000 new human beings every year.

HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer, which is the second most common cancer among women and in turn is the leading cause of infertility in the fairer sex. Through sexual license, we are slowly destroying our ability to reproduce and killing off our young.

More than 500,000 cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed every year, according to the British Medical Journal, and it kills around 200,000 people a year. Head and neck cancer is now the sixth most common cancer among and women, and the culprit appears to be HPV, which is transmitted primarily through orogenital intercourse.

The rate at which HPV is detected in biopsies to diagnose oropharyngeal carcinoma is up 70% in Sweden since the sexual revolution of the 60s and early 70s, and HPV-related cancer is now being reported in 60-80 percent of recent biopsy samples in the U.S., up from 40 percent just a decade ago.

What makes this epidemic even worse is that HPV is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact, not through the exchange of bodily fluids, so there is virtually no way to protect against it. That is, other than being sexually abstinent before marriage and faithful after.

This recent study concludes that increased risk of cancers of the head and neck is linked to a history of six or more lifetime sexual partners, four or more lifetime oral sex partners, and earlier ages of first sexual intercourse.

Of course, the Reuters article makes no mention of sexually responsible behavior as a possible solution. Nope, they're pushing drugs, saying we need to give younger and younger kids of both sexes inoculations of Gardasil before they become sexually active so they can be as randy and promiscuous as they want. This despite a paucity of information about possible side effects and long-term risks of the drug.

Once again the age-old wisdom of the Judeo-Christian tradition is vindicated: sex is for marriage, period.

Abstinence education, anyone?

I had my first round of skin cancer basal cell carcinoma on my head last year.  Squamous cell carcinomas are actually fairly benign as far as I understand skin cancers.  Melanomas are the ones that really kill people quickly.

Sex is for marriage, but sex education should include information about how to prevent STDs if someone does have sex, and include talks of the risk of sex, such as unwanted pregnancy, HPV, etc. It should also explain that various types of sex other than vaginal are still sex.

Rubystars is correct but in all truth I think that most of the target audience for her message is already too far gone. When G-d was taken out of kids' lives, this sort of degeneracy became inevitable. Nobody cares about their own lives or those of others anymore.

It's true that it's godlessness that leads to degenerate behavior. However I think that if there is going to be sex education it needs to be comprehensive. Some of the stuff I've heard of going on in sex ed isn't necessarily appropriate but I can't see it how it's wrong to teach people about condoms and basic safety.

The article states that skin contact is the method of transition of the HPV. Does that mean it can pass by handshakes, occasional bare skin contacts etc ?

Why SEX education?  Maybe abstinance education is what is being called for.  That is really the only safe sex.  Kids need to know that.  Thier parents should be talking to them about that.
When did sex education become part of the school curriculum?  What happened to human growth/development and  a basic hygiene class. 
Lefty loosie loons educating children about sexual relations.   That is part of the reason basic morality has gone down the tubes.
Parents better take the reins back on the carriage, since the horse is already out of the barn.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) affects both females and males. HPV transmission can happen with any kind of genital contact with someone who has HPV—intercourse isn’t necessary.
That is from the Gardasil site.

This is why I prefer the Japanese bow over the handshake:

You show respect, while keeping yourselves to yourselves.

Hugging and kissing is for relatives and friends.
I think a handshake should be used for friends only or other people you trust; not people you've never seen before. Everything is alchemy.

You are right. I am a handshake abolitionist !

I guess it means HPV infects through mucous membranes but not normal skin.

When sex education is taught devoid of any moral or religious context, it's a recipe for promiscuity.  Unfortunately, any talk of religion is banned from public discourse.  So if you were to teach sex education in the public schools, what religion, or what kind of moral values would be the framework?  

Then you have those crazy libs who will say that encouraging abstinence is racist, or that kids will have sex no matter what.  So you may as well just give them condoms and teach them how to use them.

As a progressive person I have to support introducing Japanese bowing into western civilization.

Remember though:

Evolution and Degeneracy are two different things.

Change for the sake of "change" is utter lunacy fit for the degenerates of todays society.

Part of the problem as you stated bullcat is that the people teaching these classes are left wing idiots. I do think that there is a lot of ignorance out there though which is leading to things like kids thinking you can't get pregnant if you haven't started your period yet, etc. (a girl can be on her first cycle and not know it until it's too late). Another problem is that they are taught that if they do get pregnant then abortion is an option (it should never be an option unless the pregnancy is ectopic or will otherwise kill the mother).
