Study: Fellatio may significantly decrease the risk of breast cancer in
women Thursday, October 2, 2003 Posted: 9:19 AM EDT (1319 GMT)

(BW) -- Women who perform the act of fellatio on a regular basis, one to two
times a week, may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40 percent, a
North Carolina State University study found.

Doctors had never suspected a link between the act of fellatio and breast
cancer, but new research being performed at North Carolina State University
is starting to suggest that there could be an important link between the
two.

In a study of over 15,000 women suspected of having performed regular
fellatio over the past ten years, the researchers found that those actually
having performed the act regularly, one to two times a week, had a lower
occurance of breast cancer than those who had not. There was no increased
risk, however, for those who did not regularly perform.

"I think it removes the last shade of doubt that fellatio is actually a
healthy act," said Dr. B.J. Sooner of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, who
was not involved in the research. "I am surprised by these findings, but am
also excited that the researchers may have discovered a relatively easy way
to lower the occurance of breast cancer in women."

The University researchers stressed that, though breast cancer is relatively
uncommon, any steps taken to reduce the risk would be a wise decision.

"Only with regular performance will your chances be reduced, so I encourage
all women out there to make fellatio an important part of their daily
routine," said Dr. Inserta Shafteer, one of the researchers at the
University. "Since the emergence of the research, I try to fellate at least
once every other night to reduce my chances."

The study is reported in Friday's Journal of Medical Research.

In 1991, 43,582 women died of breast cancer, as reported by the National
Cancer Institute.

Dr. Len Lictepeen, deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer
Society, said women should not overlook or "play down" these findings.

"This will hopefully change women's practice and patterns, resulting in a
severe drop in the future number of cases," Lictepeen said.

Sooner said the research shows no increase in the risk of breast cancer in
those who are, for whatever reason, not able to fellate regularly.

"There's definitely fertile ground for more research. Many have stepped
forward to volunteer for related research now in the planning stages," he
said.

Almost every woman is, at some point, going to perform the act of fellatio,
but it is the frequency at which this event occurs that makes the
difference, say researchers.

The reasearch consisted of two groups, 6,246 women ages 25 to 45 who had
performed fellatio on a regular basis over the past five to ten years, and
9,728 women who had not. The group of women who had performed fellatio had a
breast cancer rate of 1.9 percent and the group who had not had a breast
cancer rate of 10.4 percent.

"The findings do suggest that there are other causes for breast cancer
besides the absence of regular fellatio," Shafteer said. "It's a cause, not
THE cause."

What the study did not show is when you teach women the
art and get them addickted (pun intended) to it at a very young
age they end up totally immune to breast cancer. The younger
they start the more immune they becum (pun intended).

S.Simon - has saved many a young woman from having to
worry about breast cancer.
