Sex Causes Cancer

Well, you knew you'd see this headline sooner or later. Here's the skinny.

Don't let this stop you. After all, in a long enough time frame the mortality rate is 100% anyway. It's just that some of us will die smiling.

I think the important part isn't that sex causes cancer - but that multiple partners in a lifetime increases the risk by eightfold.

The Renaissance Italians, I imagine, invented 'virginity' to avoid just this risk. Unfortunately, the wealthy and decadent bastards didn't worry enough about keeping their own 'men's needs' under wraps as well. Thus we have the Sexual Revolution, the Playboy Philosophy, and junior high classes for unwed mothers too full to accommodate the sixth grade mothers-to-be, here in Oklahoma.

I bet the Amish communities skew the statistics. By the size of their families and age of marriage, sex isn't killing them off.
