Sex with Animals leads to Higher Cancer Rates according to Brazil Med Journal

What a bizarre study! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: I wonder if they needed to import some Kiwis and Welsh for the experiment! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: And 20 academics/doctors were needed for the study? :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Glad I’m not a taxpayer in Brazil!!!

If you’re searching for a reason not to have sex with animals, add this to the list: It could give you penis cancer, according to a new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

The authors found that men who have had sex with animals were twice as likely to develop penile cancer as those who stick with their own kind.

Lead author Stenio de Cassio Zequi, a urologist in Sao Paulo, gave Live Science his theory explaining the increased risk.

“We think that the intense and long-term SWA [sex with animals] practice could produce micro-traumas in the human penile tissue,” Zequi said. “The genital mucus membranes of animals could have different characteristics from human genitalia, and the animals’ secretions are probably different from human fluids. Perhaps animal tissues are less soft than ours, and non-human secretions would be toxic for us.” [/quote]

They should do one of these studies in Afghanistan. :scooby: :howyoudoin:

I’m just curious about the sample selection. I mean, how did they get their subjects? An ad in the newspaper? Perhaps in Brazil it’s just considered a “lifestyle choice” and nothing to be ashamed of.

Maybe they listen to the Goat from Ipanema in bossa nova :laughing:

Ok so before I was struggling to understand the point of science ethics committees based on the fact that I thought things like the Tuskegee experiment were long gone. Now I REALLY fail to see why they have ethics committees if they allow studies into animals and men farking to go ahead.

I’m going to make a bid for a feral child like Victor and revive the forbidden experiment. Why the hell not!

Well, sure. Could be. BUT it might well be associated with other risky behaviour and poor hygenic practice, and perhaps with high frequency (they use the word “intense” in the above quote, IIRC. I assume they don’t mean emotionally).

IF they just used the general population as a control group (and I’m not interested enough to check) it doesn’t tell us anything very specific about the cause.

Anyhoo, if I wanted to screw a coo I would do, and I doubt this’d stop me.
