a few questions i would like answered, mainly rumours im not too sure about, but not important. does ice on testicles increase fertility/ amount of sperm? does lube taste of anything? do flavoured condomns all taste the same? the most unrealistic - does sleeping cause cancer? do you get cancer if its sunny and you're indoors? does gay sex ALWAYS give aids? does gay porn give aids? - (i was like WTF aswell) no seriously, there most of the health related rumours at my school, i wondered if theres truth in any.
Tastes of lube, I suspect. I guess you can get different flavours. It's proven. 100% of people who have had cancer have slept at at least one point in their life :rolleyes: No. No. There are many gay people on EC who have had gay sex. They do not have AIDS. :/ As much as straight porn gives Genital warts. I'm not so sure about the first one. There might be some truth in it.
I would assume that it does not, if anything it would probably decrease fertility. This is based on the fact that sperm are very temperature sensitive. I don't really know, I've never heard anything like this before, but that's an educated guess.
i do kno that flavored condoms all taste like latex ballons. (at least all the ones ive tasted are)...gay porn and gay sex have the same risk of aids as straight sex
Erm, I'm pretty sure that's wrong. It'll probably cut your chances of skin cancer, but if you're chain smoking with all the windows shut, and popping carsenogens in your coffee, you're probably not immune to all cancer just cus you're indoors.
The opposite actually. The testes produce sperm only in a very limited temperature range. Extreme cold, hot baths, tight underwear- all will decrease both sperm production and hormone levels. Depends on the lube. There are flavored lubes that usually have a fruity flavor. Some of the unflavored ones have a slightly sweet taste (due to the presence of sugar-alcohols in the formula). Silicone and oil-based lubes taste like vaseline- quite bland. Nope. They come in fruit and mint flavors. The opposite- sleep deprivation increases cancer risk by increasing cortisol levels. Cancer is a family of diseases. The cancer most associated with being outdoors is skin cancer. Being indoors would reduce your risk of skin cancer but it would never completely eliminate the risk. Globally, the fastest growing population of HIV infected groups are women of color. They are getting HIV from heterosexual sex. What transmits HIV? High risk contact with an HIV infected person. It doesn't matter whether it is "gay sex" or straight sex. The opposite. If you jack off to gay porn, you're less likely to go out and do something stupid just because you were horny.
I thought that the colder your testicles were, the better bigger sperm count you had! That is why the testicles are outside of the body, and why when donating sperm, it is kept in EXTREME cold temperatures. So technically, it doesnt increase fertility, but increases the amount of sperm??
...but when it gets to cold they retract closer to the body, the sperm has to be kept slightly below body temperature but not too much. They keep anything/everything that needs to be kept alive in extremely cold temperatures to preserve it and slow the rate of degradation... This does not increase how many sperm there are, it just keeps them alive outside the body. Increasing fertility and amount of sperm are basically the same thing, you need sperm to be fertile, more sperm, more chances of one getting through, unless at a lower count you have more healthy sperm and if it increases the sperm get more and more defective...
>>>does ice on testicles increase fertility/ amount of sperm? It probably decreases it, since sperm has an optimal temperature range. >>>does lube taste of anything? Vaguely a chemical taste. Not a truly pleasant taste, but not a horrible one, either. >>>do flavoured condomns all taste the same? Only had one. It tasted like really cheap gum. >>>the most unrealistic - does sleeping cause cancer? Every person who has ever gotten cancer has proven to be a sleeper. I don't think you can drawn a cause-and-effect there, though. >>>do you get cancer if its sunny and you're indoors? From the sun? No. You CAN get skin cancer from too much UV exposure, but UV rays can't penetrate through windows. If the window is open, maybe. >>>does gay sex ALWAYS give aids? AIDS is a disease that is transmitted. One sex partner has to have it in order for it to be transmitted. If two guys (or girls) who are uninfected have sex, it's impossible for either to contract it. That said, it's considered smart play to use condoms, since it's almost never apparent whether someone is infected or not. >>>does gay porn give aids? - (i was like WTF aswell) One might make the argument that if you see two guys barebacking (having sex without condoms) in gay porn, you'll try it yourself, and possibly expose yourself that way. But watching porn can't give you AIDS anymore than watching a guy with a cold on TV can give you the flu. Lex
