Wild sex is oral sex is an exciting activity for some couples. Indeed, this kind of activity there is a call is as old as human history, namely as Cleopatra did the 100 Roman centurion. But with the emergence of a variety of viral activity, oral sex can cause deadly diseases.

Oral sex acts were allegedly performed more and more couples. This is because these activities are considered more erotic and intimate.

Director of Head and Neck Department, Princess Alexandra Hospital is also President Australia and New Zealand Head and Neck Cancer Society, Associate Professor Ben Panizza said that a surge in cases of the disease can occur a direct result of the sexual revolution of the sixties and seventies.

He said the increase in patients with oropharyngeal cancer or cancer of the tongue, tonsils and back of the mouth to increase. If ten years ago only about one patient every two weeks, now about two cases per week. Similarly, the Courier Mail quoted and cited Timesofindia on Thursday (08/11/2012).

He explained that oropharyngeal cancer is divided into two types. First, due to human papilloma virus infection and the second caused by alcohol and smoking.

"Previously most cases we often encounter is caused by two factors. Normally takes many years of alcohol and tobacco abuse causes this type of cancer, and patients are generally the elderly," said Prof Panizza.

According to Professor Panizza, exposure to the virus has a long phase. So that the distance between viral exposure and appearance of symptoms take years even decades. That is why he is suspicious of changes in sexual behavior in the 60's and 70's were a trigger.

"Now we see patients younger, middle age, who developed cancer due to human papilloma virus infection, where there are many people who associate with cervical cancer," added Prof Panizza.

Of these, about 10 percent of men aged 14-69 years had oral HPV infection in women is greater than that only about 3.6 percent. Apparently the result of oral sex oral cancer is more common in men than women.

Oral sex is safe if the couple to one another is not a sexually transmitted disease. Thus there is no harmful bacteria or viruses. For that oral hygiene and sex should be completely guarded. If there are sores or ulcers on the oral mucosa, oral sex should not be done. Dental dams can be used to keep the liquid from the genitals do not get into the oral cavity.
