Study: Fellatio may significantly decrease the risk of breast cancer in women


(AP) -- Women who perform the act of fellatio and swallow semen 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 and swallowed the ejaculatory fluid, 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 occurrence 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. A.J. Kramer 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 occurrence 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 occurrence will your chances be reduced, so I encourage all women out there to make fellatio an important part of their daily routine," said Dr. Helena Shifteer, 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. Also key seems to be the protein and enzyme count in the semen, but researchers are again waiting for more test data.

The reasearch consisted of two groups, 6,246 women ages 25 to 45 who had performed fellatio and swallowed on a regular basis over the past five to ten years, and 9,728 women who had not or did not swallow. The group of women who had performed and swallowed 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."

Study Hard


Claim: According to a university study, fellatio (oral sex) may significantly
decrease the risk of breast cancer in women.

Status: False.

Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2003]

(AP) - 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 recent study found.

Doctors had never suspected a link between the act of fellatio and breast
cancer, but new research being performed 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.

[Rest of article here.]

Origins: No, this wasn't a real CNN page (or Associated Press article), nor
did North Carolina State University perform a study on the connection between
fellatio and breast cancer. (If nothing else, the names of the doctors cited in
the article — "Dr. B.J. Sooner," "Dr. Inserta Shafteer," "Dr. Len Lictepeen" —
should have given it away as a
hoax.)

This article was a spoof by Brandon Williamson, a junior at North Carolina State
University (NCSU), who mocked it up to look like a genuine CNN.com article and
made it available on the web through his NCSU account in September 2003.

After the article was popularized on the web in October 2003, reaching the
inboxes of many people who failed to realize it was a spoof (and fooling some
foreign newspapers, who apparently ran the article as a genuine news story), CNN
and the Associated Press (AP) claimed it constituted an infringment of their
intellectual property rights. Accordingly, Mr. Williamson eventually removed the
graphical and textual references to CNN, AP, and NCSU from his article and
posted an editorial explaining the reasons behind the changes. (The original
version of the article can still be found on various web sites.)

According to Michele DeCamp, who interviewed the spoof's author, "for anyone
that might be confused about the validity of the article, Williamson maintains
his own naivete. 'I have no proof whatsoever that the two [fellatio and breast
cancer] have anything to do with each other.'"
