Sex With More That One Person in Your Lifetime? More Likely to Get Cancer. God's Consequences

Freedom encourages people to think for themselves, and that is anathema to the Catholic Church.

I think that's an historical stereotype, Zyz.... I'm not saying that the Catholic Church is the most progressive religious organization out there - it's usually about a century behind current trends in society - but it's anything but a monolithic entity that discourages debate and differences of opinion or that never changes. Witness Vatican II, for instance. I can't speak for anyone else, but with the way the world changes so fast, it's sometimes hard to keep your head above water in the rapids we have to negotiate... sometimes it's good to have something solid to hold onto - it can keep you from being swept over the falls.

I'm a firm believer in the proposition that if you don't stand for anything, you're liable to fall for everything. I've found Catholicism to be a firm rock to steady oneself.. but you can't just cling to a rock forever. Sometimes you have to use it to push off from and give you momentum on your swim.

Cancer risk '''rises with number of sexual partners'''

Having 10 or more sexual partners throughout your life may raise the risk of cancer, research suggests.

Scientists from Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge asked more than 5,000 adults how many people they had “been intimate” with.

The participants then rated their health, noting any long-standing conditions.

Results revealed the women who had 10 or more lifetime sexual partners were 91% more likely to be diagnosed with any form of cancer than those who were virgins or had slept with just one person.

Men with 10 or more sexual partners were 69% more likely to be told they had the disease.

The men who reported having between two and four were 57% more likely to be diagnosed with the disease than those with zero or one.

I have spoken repeatedly that AIDS was God's vengeance for sex outside a hetero marriage, particularly gay sex. Now we have another example of God's punishment of those who have more than one sex partner in their lifetimes. I tell people all the time, illicit sex causes 90% of the world's problems. The consequences may not be obvious, and they may not be sudden, but they ALWAYS appear eventually.

Why not just follow the rules, people? Failure to do so results in misery in not only this life, but the one afterward.

So God thinks sex is bad and that is why he made it so pleasurable? You have a very sick opinion of God. No wonder fewer and fewer people on earth believe in him.

Many, one could honestly say most things that are pleasurable should not be done excessively.

Because most things [including pleasurable things] done excessively are dangerous and destructive. Surely you realize that.

I would rather enjoy myself now and a have fewer years in the rest home for the elderly. Why is sex destructive? It has always been a pleasure and a boon in my life.

It is easy to say that now (and intellectually dishonest) but when you're at the end of your life desperately trying to hang on to a few more days or months it would probably be quite different.

I am 68 years old and as honest as the day is long.

How do I know my youth is all spent
My get up and go has got up and went
But when I am low and feeling quite mean
I think of the places my get-up has been-Pete Seeger

It works fine for me. It all depends on what your pleasures are.

Pleasure is a part of my happiness. I have no complaints. You know nothing about me.

Talking about sex with multiple sex partners. Read the OP.

I guess we're saying do what you want, but be prepared for the consequences of breaking God's law. When will people ever learn?

Since God is just a fairytale, everything will be fine.

What about people like you that are "black"? What percentage do you have to be to be at risk? What percentage are you?

No the children are being punished because cancer is painful.

If you don't know why do you open your big fat mouth?

All you're doing by saying cancer is punishment from God is you are saying God is a sadistic asshole. If you ever wondered why people are atheist that's probably the number one reason.

Everyone dies it's not punishment it's inevitable

When Mashmont dies what will god be punishing him for? Lying?

The Catholic Church’s sex scandal is crushing one of the world’s most powerful institutions. The numbers are brutal and speak to rapid, spreading decline: In the U.S., 6,721 priests were reported to U.S. bishops between 1950 and 2016, and 18,565 victims have come forward, according to Bishop Accountability, an advocacy group.

The bigger picture: Pope Francis arrives today in Ireland, a country whose once-unquestioned Catholic identity is now fading — a long-term trend in much of the West, which abuse scandals threaten to accelerate. The Church’s image among people under 30 has never been worse, meaning the next generation of priests — and parishioners — simply may not be there.

What do you suppose is God's punishment for someone who has sex with a porn star they met the same day while their spouse is at home taking care of their infant?
 
Does this mean having sex leads to cancer?
The answer is almost surely no.

That’s because this type of study cannot assess whether sex causes cancer. It can only determine whether there is a correlation between the two.

https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/more-sexual-partners-more-cancer-2020042819658




While having a sexually transmissible infection (STI) can increase the risk of certain types of cancer, using a person’s lifetime number of sexual partners as a marker of their likely sexual health history is one of several flaws in this research.

The evidence from this study isn’t strong enough to conclude that having had multiple sexual partners increases a person’s risk of cancer.

Misinterpreting these findings could lead to stigma around STIs and having multiple sexual partners.


Saying sex increases cancer risk is neither totally correct, nor in any way helpful
