I will never say or do anything that I cannot tell to my Mother...

It's Monday morning, not too much has happened, this article caught my attention. When I was in the Navy in the mid 50's, I processed discharges for the 11th Naval District in San Diego. One of my first "discharges" was a 1st Class Petty officer who had admitted, unfortunately in the presence of an ONI official, that he had performed "oral sex" on his wife. He was given an Undesirable Discharge, a UD, for "Reasons other than honorable." How things change. Everyone is "coming out" .......... for one reason or another. I recently "came out" as being an "Impulsive Spendthrift."

The idea of an A-lister (Michael Douglas)  bluntly attributing cancer to oral sex may sound surprising, but doctors do believe there is a link between oral sex with an infected person and throat cancer. Douglas' apparent frankness should dramatically increase awareness of the threat.

Douglas discussed the source of his cancer when the paper asked the "Behind the Candelabra" actor if he regretted years of smoking and drinking -- suggesting that they may have been the cause.

"No," the paper reported him saying. "Because without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV [human papillomavirus], which actually comes about from cunnilingus."
