Default Oral Sex Causes Throat Cancer

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6639461.stm
A virus contracted through oral sex is the cause of some throat cancers, say US scientists. HPV infection was found to be a much stronger risk factor than tobacco or alcohol use, the Johns Hopkins University study of 300 people found.
The New England Journal of Medicine study said the risk was almost nine times higher for people who reported oral sex with more than six partners. But experts said a larger study was needed to confirm the findings.

I expect a large number of willing test subjects for this one... at least on one side of the equasion....
