Uncircumsized bf and sexual health
| Sat, 10-09-2004 - 7:45pm |
So hi all...
I'm a bit confused. Now my bf is totally disease free and all so I am not concerned. But I've heard that sometimes men who are uncircumsized can pass on things like cervical cancer (I know this sounds kooky - but apparently sometimes if uncut guys don't keep it clean enough then a carcinogen can develop and be passed onto the woman). I just wondered though if this was actually a possibility? LIke I said, he's disease free and we've been considering not using condoms (oh yea I'm on the pill don't worry ha ha).
Are there additional concerns that a girl with an uncut guy should have to consider?

Here are links to two articles that address sex with uncircumcised men. If they don’t practice good hygiene there could be an increased risk.

I think the important part is: “as long as uncircumcised men are careful about keeping their genitals clean, the risk of cervical cancer in their partners should not be any greater than that for circumcised men.” A sexually active woman should have an annual pap smear that should detect any problem before it becomes serious.

So strange.
Thank you again...
Hi climbinggirl:
If your man DOES NOT keep himself clean, yeast infection can be spread to you.
