"Lesbians... are ...12 times more likely to have had an oral infection from penile contact"

I would think that penile contact is that last thing lesbians would want.

I think it might mean the "artificial" variety.

With the way a lot of lesbians look...it must be the ugly virus they pass, too

Lesbians are at Risk through Sex with MSM

• Many Lesbians also have had sex with men. The homosexual newspaper The Washington Blade, citing a 1998 study in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, reported that "the study’s data confirmed previous scientific observations that most women who have sex with women also have had sex with men."⁵¹ The study added that "sex with men in the prior year was common, as were sexual practices between female partners that possibly could transmit HPV."⁵²
• Lesbians have more male sex partners that their heterosexual counterparts. A study of sexually transmitted disease among lesbians reviewed in The Washington Blade notes: "Behavioral research also demonstrates that a woman’s sexual identity is not an accurate predictor of behavior, with a large proportion of ‘lesbian’ women reporting sex with (often high risk) men."⁵³ The study found that "the median number of lifetime male sexual partners was significantly greater for WSW (women who have sex with women) than controls (twelve partners versus six). WSW were significantly more likely to report more than fifty lifetime male sexual partners."⁵⁴
• A study in the American Journal of Public Health concurs that bisexual women are at increased risk for contracting sexually transmitted diseases: "Our findings corroborate the finding that WSMW (women who have sex with men and women) are more likely than WSMO (women who have sex with men only) to engage in various high-risk behaviors" and also "to engage in a greater number of risk-related behaviors."⁵⁵ The study suggested that the willingness to engage in risky sexual practices "could be tied to a pattern of sensation-seeking behavior."⁵⁶
• MSM spread HIV to women. A five-year study by the CDC of 3,492 homosexuals aged fifteen to twenty-two found that one in six also had sex with women. Of those having sex with women, one-quarter "said they recently had unprotected sex with both men and women." Nearly 7 percent of the men in the study were HIV positive."⁵⁷ "The study confirms that young bisexual men are a ‘bridge’ for HIV transmission to women," said the CDC.⁵⁸
