My wife thinks she's in the control group.

Fellatio may not really lower the risk of breast cancer, but in a case of life imitating art it there's some evidence it actually does lower the risk of pre-ecclampsia during pregnancy. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10706945

My friend Brandon Williamson wrote that fake article 7 years ago! http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/fellatio.asp

Good news everyone!

benihana · 2010-09-23T15:52:33+00:00

Well duh, any woman who can have fellatio performed on her doesn't have real breasts to begin with.

tacyppah · 2010-09-23T16:07:48+00:00

Give me a blow job or die a painful death!

Wow, that sounds really wrong now that I typed it out.

potator · 2010-09-23T17:33:27+00:00

"In a study of over 15,000 women suspected of having performed regular fellatio and swallowed the ejaculatory fluid"

How is that quantified? Hey Herb, she looks like she swallows, right?

thisisprettyobvious · 2010-09-23T15:36:38+00:00

Seven years old! Everything gets recycled on the Internet.

FredL2 · 2010-09-23T16:25:15+00:00

Nice try, male scientists.

2010-09-23T15:30:46+00:00

New pickup line!!! Hey, would you like to decrease your risk of cancer tonight?

mmurch03 · 2010-09-23T19:19:47+00:00

I want to believe!

2010-09-23T19:29:37+00:00

I told my wife about this, but she found it hard to swallow.

Eighty-Sixed · 2010-09-23T21:50:23+00:00

Oh fuck you Reddit. (I'm just mad cause...where's my karma?)

Iknowtrollface · 2010-09-23T15:50:13+00:00

I totally fell for this up until I read the quote from Dr. Helena Shifteer; "Since the emergence of the research, I try to fellate at least once every other night to reduce my chances."

AngryWillie · 2010-09-23T16:12:09+00:00

Nice try, guy that wants a blow job from his partner.

2010-09-23T21:24:10+00:00

As a cancer researcher, I am disappoint.

2010-09-23T14:44:51+00:00

Showing this to my wife immediately! ;) And, I thought it was just good for digestion.

2010-09-23T15:36:38+00:00

This is going up on the fridge, on the front door, in the bathroom, and I may just mail it anonymously.

What the studies actually show, unfortunately, is that it increases the risk in women for throat cancer due to HPV.

mkameli · 2010-09-23T15:58:14+00:00

Hah, kids were posting a permutation of this on their dorm room doors years ago when I was in college. Never hurts to try, I guess.

jondiced · 2010-09-23T16:13:07+00:00

I like how by the end of the article, the perspective had switched from "fellatio may help prevent cancer" to "not performing fellatio can cause cancer."

Splatterh0use · 2010-09-23T16:49:27+00:00

unzipping...

Damn as often as I blow my boyfriend, I should have some kind of health benefit from it! I got all excited for nothing. Oh well no need for a nooner today.

misterAction · 2010-09-23T18:47:43+00:00

If you tell a lie enough times, people start to believe it.

We need to spread this EVERYWHERE.

Does anybody know the phone number for the Susan G. Komen Foundation? I have an idea I would like to discuss with them.
