Gentlemen, be sure and share this important information with the women you love... If they think you're lying, well, you can't really blame them now can you... But you can always bookmark the link and show it to them on a nightly basis...

Fantastic.

This is why I love science.

Nice. You know the guy funding this research had some kind of a bet with his wife...

Hmm, it's not on CNN's website. The URL shows this is at tatom.com.

Gee, how about that.

Do you honestly think that any medical researcher would look into the health benefits of swallowing another person's fluids? That would be like doing research into whether or not licking blood off someone's wounded hand was potentially good for you.

Snopes posted this "false" back in 2003 when it was an e-mail gag.

those actually having performed the act regularly, one to two times a week, had a lower occurrence of breast cancer than those who had not. There was no increased risk, however, for those who did not regularly perform.

that statement defies any logic

The University researchers stressed that, though breast cancer is relatively uncommon, any steps taken to reduce the risk would be a wise decision.

yeah right...

but play along anyway

Of course it wasn't a real medical researcher, the article says the research was done at NCState University. It was presumably done by pre-med frat boys. What would you research if you were a pre-med frat boy? For me - it'd be fellatio.

And yes, I'm trying my damndest to pretend this is real.

That sucks. I'm sorry to hear it.

Apparently my woman is way more interested in preventing hand cancer.

On a happy note - Ando's mom should live forever.

I surprised it took this long for someone to bring Mrs. Anderson into this thread.
