Sex Can Kill: The Dangers of HPV

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is one of the leading causes of cervical cancer and has infected an average of 50% of the population participating in sexual activity (WebMd.Com). There are no symptoms of HPV, with the exception of the strain that causes genital warts. Many women and men don’t even know they have contracted the virus.

You are at risk to contract HPV IF you:

o   Have sex at an early age

o   Have many sexual partners

o   Have a sex partner who has had multiple partners

According to the Center for Disease Control, many people assume that HPV only impacts young women or teenagers, but cases have been reported that HPV has impacted the older generations as well.

Remember ladies, HPV is not just a, “loose woman’s or nasty woman’s disease.” Even a virgin can contract the virus from literally bumping and grinding. No penetration has to be involved. Not only do you need to know who you are sleeping with, but who you’re bumping and grinding with as well.

Sex Can Kill

Ladies, did you know that having rough sex will eventually damage your body? Rough sex may feel good to you at the time, but a man can actually jam his penis into your vagina, hitting your cervix, which may cause post-cramping, bleeding, and overtime cervical erosion, which is the inflammation of cervical cells which causes vaginal discharge, bleeding during sexual intercourse and in between periods. Cervical erosion will also cause the wearing away or thinning of your cervix, which is needed for your body to carry a baby to full term (mDhill.com).

Just like men have different penis sizes, women have different vaginal canal sizes. “The average length of a woman’s vagina can range from 3 to 4 inches long…it can double in length when aroused” (Lissa Rankin, MD, gynecologist and author of What's Up Down There? Questions You'd Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend). When God created you, He designed your body just perfectly to fit the mate, whom He created you for.

Our bodies were not designed to have multiple sexual partners and when we choose to sleep with multiple men, we put ourselves at risk for contracting HPV, the Human Papillomavirus. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that develops in the skin or mucous membranes. HPV can be found in the vagina, cervix, mouth, anus, throat, or penis head. There are over 100 different strains of HPV such as, genital warts. And you are probably thinking, “Well I can have my man put on a condom and I’ll be fine,” but considering that there are over 100 different strains of HPV, condoms will not always protect you from contracting one of the strains (medicalnewstoday.com).

Betcha didn’t know that did ya? Stay tuned next week for part 2.

XOXO,
