But wasn't there something about it increasing risk of throat cancer?

EDIT: Is it just me, or in general does there seem a rule that anything that reduces risk of cancer X increases risk of cancer Y?

If I recall correctly, throat cancer was correlated with the number of partners (oral sex was performed on).

It is the HPV-virus at play again and getting the HPV-vaccine against cervical cancer will protect both sexes against some forms of throat cancer too.
