Oral Sex: A risk to mouth cancer
Risks associated with oral sex: Oral sex refers to sexual activities involving the stimulation of the genitalia by the use of the mouth, tongue, teeth or throat. ‘Cunnilingus’ refers to oral sex performed on females. ‘Cunnilingus’ comes from a Latin word for vulva (a woman's exterior sex organs), cunnus, and from the Latin word for licking, lingere. ‘Fellatio’ refer to oral sex performed on males. Fellatio comes from the Latin word fellare, meaning to suck. ‘Analingus’ refers to oral stimulation of a person's anus. Oral stimulation of other parts of the body (as in kissing and licking) is usually not considered oral sex. What are the Risks of Oral Sex? There is a commonly held belief among many lay people that oral sex carries little or no risk. In fact, some consider oral sex a safer sex alternative. But the truth is, like any other sexual activity, oral sex carries a risk of transmitting – •Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) •Chlamydia •Gonorrhea •Herpes •Hepatitis •HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) If the receiving partner has wounds or open sores on their genitals, or if the giving partner has wounds or open sores on or in their mouth, or bleeding gums, this poses an increased risk of STDs transmission. Brushing the teeth, flossing, undergoing dental work, or eating crunchy foods, such as chips relatively soon before or after giving oral sex, can also increase the risk of transmission, because all of these activities can cause small scratches in the lining of the mouth. These wounds, even when they are microscopic, increase the chances of contracting STDs that can be transmitted orally under these conditions. Such contact can also lead to more mundane infections from common bacteria and viruses found in, around, and secreted from the genital regions. The risk is even greater in serodiscordant couples (one partner is HIV positive while the other is negative), people who are not monogamous, or in people who inject drugs and/or share needles and syringes.

Daily sex will boost sperm quality
Daily sex will boost your sperm quality and fertility, according to Sydney University team. This research finding busted the common myth that “frequent sex will enhance fertility”. Men generally abstain from sex before conceiving to increase their sperm count. Actually sperm quality rises with frequent sex especially for those with damaged sperm. Quantity may be increased due to abstinence but quality will be reduced. Normal couple may abstain from sex for 2-3 days to enhance sperm count but men with damaged sperm should have frequent sex to enhance fertility. Australian researchers studied 42 men with damaged sperm to arrive at final conclusion. Daily sexual activity for one week enhanced their sperm quality (by reducing DNA damage) by more than 10% which can prevent miscarriages. Frequent ejaculation will reduce sperm damage by decreasing the time spent in reproductive tract. Frequent masturbation will reduce prostate cancer risk by preventing the buildup of cancer causing chemicals in the prostate. Sperm stored in the Epidydimis will be destroyed by free radicals and reduce its quality. Frequent ejaculation will replace these damaged sperm and enhance fertility. Frequent sex will not only help to raise the quality of sperm but also the quality of life by reducing stress. Have more sex and enjoy life. Please share your opinion. … [Read more...]
