Reader Feedback on "Speaking in Tongues"
Listen, it's not that I care about whom the author chooses to orally service. I really don't. After all, I found the article interesting enough to read all the way to the end, when I hit the "Enter Feedback" button, despite the fact that the first sentence laid out that the author (Paul) is a deep-throat specialist. So I'm not a raging homophobe. But given the picture in the headline, I feel a little swindled. I was led to believe that a woman either approaching or in the throes of orgasm would factor into the article SOMEWHERE.

very useful-but I would still be mighty careful about where I put my tongue. Why do we wash our hands after peeing, and yet expect it's OK to you-know-what? I suspect vaccine is the answer.

To MN... Guardasil was approved for girls FIRST and FOREMOST to address the high risk of cervical cancer resulting from HPV infection. So WTF do you want? HPV vaccine for males will not be available UNTIL the clinical trials are completed and prove the vaccine efficacious in that population. As it was, Guardasil was rushed to market, which caused concern in some quarters. The motive was mostly profit-driven, and little to do with gender. Also for your consideration, males, who were infected with HPV by females, are typically asymptomatic, then pass it to other females, and so on. Vaccinating males will further reduce incidence of cervical cancer in females, as well as other cancers linked to HPV.

As a nurse giving Gardisil to females, I want to make one correction....as there are several different strains of HPV that can cause cancers it will not be useless to get the vaccine if you have already been sexually active. You may not have been exposed to all the strains and may still get coverage to those. I agree that males need coverage too and hope a vaccine is available soon.

Dan Savage wrote about this recently and made an excellent point. Now that straight, pussy-eating men are at risk, you can bet that a male version of the HPV vaccine will be approved right away and that all the right wing/Jesus freak arguments about how the vaccine undermines abstinence only education will dry up. I mean, before it was only a few thousand women dying of cervical cancer every year. Now it's serious.
