.. is that Seminophagia can reduce the risk of breast cancer by 40 percent.

The results of a research study by the North Carolina State University from 2003 show that women who perform fellatio (or “blowjob” in colloquial language) and swallow semen regularly, one to two times a week, may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40 percent.

The results were unexpected by the doctors, who had never suspected to find a link between performing fellatio and breast cancer. The study, which spanned 10 years, involved 15,000 women “suspected” of having performed regular fellatio and swallowed the ejaculatory fluid. Researchers discovered that those actually having performed fellatio regularly had a lower occurrence of breast cancer than those who had not.

However, there is no increased risk of breast cancer for those who had not regularly performed fellatio.

“I think it removes the last shade of doubt that fellatio is actually a healthy act,” said Dr. A.J. Kramer of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, who was not involved in the research. “I am surprised by these findings, but am also excited that the researchers may have discovered a relatively easy way to lower the occurrence of breast cancer in women.”


Anyway if these sources I found are reliable, then this is I dunno awesome news for us dudes?

So like.. sup hun? you wanna reduce the risk of cancer? it's time for our daily therapy, if you know what I mean...

Sources (I dunno if they are reliable):

As jubilant as I am that this appears to be the case, the fact that this study was in all likelihood at least partially government funded deeply troubles me.

One of the first things you learn in statistics is that correlation doesn't mean causation. This doesn't mean swallowing semen causes a decrease in breast cancer, it could be that those who swallow semen are likelier to have a certain diet or live in a certain manner which decreases breast cancer. Furthermore, you cannot just publish results like this and be like, 'Well, I guess that solves that!' For your results to be taken credible at all you would have to prove why these results occur and what about fellatio decreases breast cancer; that's of course if you wanted to make the direct statement that "X causes Y".

Not only that, but this study would have to be replicated and submitted to a peer-review journal before you could even begin to make claims. Sorry to rain on everyones parade lol. I'm bookmarking it regardless as a joke to show to others.

The vast, vast majority of medical studies seem to totally that correlation != causality.

the thing is that this is too absurd for them to actually believe you, even if it is indeed true.

edit: and by true i mean the statistic is true, not the correlation.

Fellatio approval is one of the only things where we cannot have a scientific argument on wether its true or not. ITS SCIENCE

No seriously, this is a big concern for me. If we spread the news, what becomes the nextstep? Milk farms of men to help combat breast cancer for everyone! We either have to make sure this never happens (by setting up a TL spy academy), or destory this information forever....

please pan out please pan out please pan out please pan out

edit: STUPID SNOPES!

I did hear that an actual study confirmed that ingesting semen may make it easier to get pregnant though because the body becomes accustomed to the dna in the sperm and doesn't try to instagib it anymore.

As interesting as this is, they need to check their data for confounding variables. Why do I say this? Because semen is essentially a protein shake and there are a lot of women who do not eat enough meat.

Yes, yes, I know, most of you will probably tell me to shut up for raining on the proverbial parade, but good science has nothing to do with popularity. Science isn't a democracy.


Edit: Just saw that Snopes WTF!pwned this notion.
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature

False + would be a correlation and not causation, Salv is right.

This whole protein being the miracle nutrient thing is so 1970. If you live in the US, you're getting enough protein. Seriously, the only people still suffering from protein deficiencies live in like Africa and Southeast Asia.

On another note, several studies even indicate that eating too much animal protein can actually lead to osteoporosis, since metabolizing proteins produces sulfuric acid which can lead to acidosis and the consequent inhibition of osteoblastic activity over time (specifically animal protein, since collagen and some other similar abundant animal proteins contain tons of cysteine residues (i.e. you get a lot more sulfur compared to vegetable protein).

I'm not trying to say eating meat is bad, just that you don't need (or want) a lot of it to get the protein you need.
