The Age certainly won't wish to address it but homosexual and bisexual males have always figured significantly in this area and they do tend to be a promiscuous group with frequent partner changes:

HPV is a similar issue.

An excellent link - thank you.

Probably not of too much concern to the majority demographic on this forum but a link they would do well to pass on to their sons and grandsons.

I appreciate it's an uncomfortable for some but oral sex has been a reality since the dawn of time and men need to be aware of the HPV issue - there is very little publicity on the matter.
