Wait, What? Michael Douglas Says Oral Sex Gave Him Throat Cancer

When Michael Douglas was diagnosed with throat cancer, everyone assumed it was because of smoking. Despite what Michael Douglas said, his throat cancer probably did have something to do with smoking. He told The Guardian that he contracted throat cancer from HPV that he got from performing oral sex on a woman. What The Guardian discovered is that type of HPV generally goes away after a few years unless you are a smoker in which case it can stay around for a long time. Do you think he got it from Catherine Zeta Jones? The Guardian also discovered that men who perform oral sex on women were three times more likely to get HPV than women who perform oral sex on men.

    Well I was glad he mentioned it. Most very serious conditions trace to bacteria and viruses. Our popular perception of disease 'causes' I think is really detrimental to early detection and treatment. HPV is a stealthy little blighter which causes HUGE problems. Getting tested is a great idea for all.

    If I ever have cancer, may God let it come from licking some lady-looking-as-CZJ's private parts and not from breathing car smoke, or working too much.

    A horndog like MD---World-class level of fucking in the 70's & 80's---certainly had exposure to HPV years ago, before CZJ.

    LOTS of people have at least one strain of HPV. and herpes too.


    As an aside----
    A 'friend' on FB, who is not a doctor, posted this story with her theory that one can't get throat cancer from anything other than demon smokes & liquor, and has declared this story a fraud. I'd love to slap the taste out her mouth, if she weren't all the way in Miami.

    Well this is just great. It's hard enough to get some guys to do oral sex without giving them this excuse. Mr. B had an oral cancer a few years ago, never smoked or chewed tobacco, rarely drinks, and after he heard this he's all in a twitter thinking that's how he got the cancer. Thanks a lot Michael Douglas.

    Not that he was having too much oral sex- but it is linked to men to smoke a lot and have a lot of sexual partners who he performs oral sex on. and whats more interesting .. is that both boys and girls can get the HPV vaccine and prevent throat cancer in men and cervical cancer in women.

  14. Robert6:46 AM

    It'll be interesting to see how CZJ reacts to this if at all. She might not be too thrilled about having her husband publicly blurt out intimate details of their sex life. Makes me wonder just what Douglas's motives were for doing so. Was he just trying to be controversially humorous? Is his mind going? Was he trying to piss CZJ off in the hope that she'll end the marriage without trying to take him to the cleaners financially? I have a feeling that this story's only beginning to play out.

    TMI??!! I think not. Kudos to MD for discussing such an 'icky' topic. *Not* talking about it doesn't make it miraculously go away.

    And you don't have to an epic horndog like MD to contract a virus. It only takes one exposure, one time to contract HPV (& other viruses) & let it go undetected. Getcher head out of your asses (or in this case, other people's asses) & get your kids vaccinated, talk about the less obvious STD's and tell them to have fun in life but BE SAFE for fucks sake!!

    Jesus, a few simple conversations would prevent so much heartache! Again, kudos to MD, he just earned a whole lot more respect from me.

    ITA, mygeorgie. I hope you didn't think I was saying his HPV was CAUSED by him being an epic horndog for decades---I was just saying it's highly unlikely that he wasn't exposed to HPV before CZJ. That's just silly since so many have it, and MD probably had 100 unprotected sex partners before her. Especially before the HIV era, body fluid sharing was no thang at all.

    People think this is so TMI, but it IS important for men to know their risk too. A straight man admits he has enjoyed cunnilingus?! Pearls=Clutched!

    I'd be interested in finding out how he knows that his throat cancer was caused by HPV. Since most HPV testing for men (of the non-wart variety of the virus) is for research purposes only (ie not for the general public), I'm not really sure how he could definitively state this.

    Having said that, perhaps Michael Douglas is not considered "general public". Still, even testing positive for HPV wouldn't necessarily mean that that's the cancer culprit.

    Sounds, to my cynical ears, like he's spinning this into some advocacy/awareness campaign. Not all bad...but also not that helpful considering men who have asymptomatic HPV generally never know they have it. (And can't get tested for it either.)

  32. Liv8:06 AM

    @just curious: Educate yourself. I think you may be confusing symptomatic HPV with asymptomatic HPV. Men DO NOT KNOW they have the asymptomatic variety, and thus it is very easily (and innocently) spread.

    Women can test positive but 6 months later have a negative PAP. There is NO "flare up" with the cancer-causing HPV.

    Read a little. Stop calling people "fucks" when they quite honestly, in most cases, have NO IDEA they have HPV.

    If it's the wart variety, it's a very different case, and that would cause flare-ups. However, the wart variety is not linked to long-term health effects like cancer.

    Michael Douglas apparently had pecialized testing done and his throat cancer was indeed associated with a cancer-causing strain of HPV.

    Facts
    1) HPV can lie dormant for years, even decades.
    2) HPV has been associated with head, neck, and anal cancers in men.
    3) Men cannot be tested for HPV, but they can be vaccinated against it now when they are boys.
    4) Approx 90% of women have been exposed to HPV. Most of our bodies clear it within 2 years. It is generally found as a result of an abnormal pap smear.
    5) It is passed via skin-to-skin contact, much like herpes.
    6) The use of dental dams during oral sex can considerably reduce the transmission of HPV.
    7) You don't have to be a sex addict to contract HPV. Your risk does increase with your number of partners.

    Get the facts. Spread truth, not misinformation.

    My 14 year old son has finished the 3 round HPV vaccine. I am very happy that he will be somewhat protected and find it irresonsible when we KNOW that HPV causes cancer to NOT vaccinate them. I also told him exactly what the vaccine is for (just as I have every other vaccine he's received) and we both feel it is every bit as important as MMR or any other vaccine. He is happy to know that when the time comes he is reducing the risk of everyone he will come in contact with.

    I am glad there is a vaccine for HPV. How quickly people forget we used to die of measles. This anti-vaccination stand that so many are taking is scary. We have had a number of babies die in Australia due to preventable diseases flaring up where there are pockets of unvaccinated children. I would have gladly had the HPV vaccine if it was around when I was younger.
    Just watched a very informative TED lecture yesterday on a chemical that gets into the food supply that converts testosterone to estrogen and is causing havoc with all animals, including humans (can't think of the name). It has been shown to change a frog in utero from male to female, to cause deformities in the frogs i.e. testes & ovaries & more of them than there should be, 3 testes instead of two etc. It is also shown to affect the fertility of human males by affecting the testes and preventing sperm production. It also causes cancer. Today we 40-50,000 more chemicals in our bodies than our grandparents did. Food for thought since we are discussing cancer.

    The worst/best thing about this story is that it pretty much confirms hpv's danger to men and in a way that will get more exposure. I, myself have known for years that it can cause prostate, rectal, testicular, and oral cancer in men but nearly every dude I know claim otherwise. They say it only effects women...ignorant people will be ignorant.
