Did you know? Any sexual activity — not just intercourse — can spread STDs, including one that can cause cancer.
Oral and anal sex, as well as mutual masturbation can expose people to a number of STDs besides herpes, including chlamydia, syphilis and human papillomavirus (HPV).
Even sexual acts as simple as scroto – labial contact are linked to HPV transmission, which is why condoms may not be 100% effective in preventing HPV infection and Cervical Cancer. And it’s HPV that’s usually linked to cancer.
We recommend you read more about SRH so you can fully understand your body.
