Bestiality Linked to Penile Cancer.

A new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine shows a possible connection between men who have sex with animals and an increased risk of penile cancer.

Researchers compared hundreds of penile cancer patients with hundreds of healthy men. Of both samples, a whopping 34.8% of the men admitted to having sex with animals but more men from the cancer group admitted to bestiality. From the penile cancer group, 44.9% admitted to bestiality whereas 31% from the healthy group admitted to it.

Researchers can only hypothesize why men who have sex with animals have increased risk of penile cancer. One possibility is that men engaging in bestiality are more likely to be have other types of high-risk/unprotected sex with strangers and/or prostitutes. These high-risk behaviors mean more STDs and therefore more penile trauma and illnesses in their lifetime.

Is anyone else disturbed that 34.8% of the 400 randomly selected research subjects admitted to having sex with animals? It’s hard to deny that penile cancer isn’t just some wicked karma for these guys.
