webfact Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Michael Douglas' oral sex story goes viralAnn Oldenburg, USA TODAYWhat exactly did he say?Michael Douglas says in an interview with The Guardian newspaper that throat cancer, as he battled in 2010, can be caused by performing oral sex on women who have a sexually-transmitted disease.And the story has spread quickly, but incorrectly, says the actor's rep.It is being widely reported that Douglas said his cancer had been caused by having contracted the human papillomavirus (HPV) through oral sex.But now (UPDATE, 10 a.m.ET), Douglas' longtime rep, Allen Burry, tells USA TODAY's Lorena Blas that although the headline on the Guardian story is "Michael Douglas: Oral Sex caused my cancer," that's not what the actor said.

sbk Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 viral is An unfortunate choice of words in the OP I suspect.

OzMick Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Another reason to have boys immunised against HPV, even if they haven't got a cervix. Must admit, not something I had thought about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
