Err… How can I put this politely? Beating off, wanking, masturbation, all that stuff; we’ve all done it. Well, not me, obviously, but allegedly the other 99.5% of the male population does it all the time. This is despite knowing that, according to various religions, every sperm is sacred, we’ll grow hairs on our palms and/or we’ll all go blind.
Apparently, it gets worse. Researchers have discovered (how many dodgy news stories have you read that started with those three words?) that increased levels of throat cancer have been associated with oral sex. (Giving: I can’t think how receiving oral sex would be a problem.)
Last year, however, Gillison’s team published a major study that found stark differences between the risky behaviours of throat cancer patients with HPV and those without. The HPV-positive cancer patients tended to have had higher numbers of sex partners than the others and were far more likely to have had multiple oral-sex partners.

Did you notice how she’s sucking on a thermometer? There’s the problem.
Readers – add this to your notebooks – it’s generally not a good idea to chew or suck on a tube filled with mercury.
I’m surprised she doesn’t glow in the dark!

My usual 12.5km course around the streets near my joint.
