Adults who have never been married are at a significantly higher risk of developing cancer than those who are married or have been in the past, new research suggests.
A team from the University of Miami found that incidence rates of cancer were 68 percent higher in never-married men and 85 percent higher in never-married women.
Interesting especially when you get into the details:
Some of the biggest differences were seen in anal cancer for men (around five times the rate in never-married men, compared to men who were married or who had been previously), and cervical cancer in women (nearly three times the rate in never-married women, compared to women who were married or who had been previously).
Why do single men get anal cancer. Because some single men get something that carries HPV in close proximity to their anus, just like women who are single and get that same high-risk HPV carrier in intimate areas.
I know it is unpopular to say this, but STDs spread with the square of the increase in sexual partners per period of time. Double the number of different partners per month and you quadruple the STD spread rate. Quadruple the number of partners and it spreads at 16x the rate.
I would not make a means-end argument for the constitionality of traditional laws against sodomy and extramarital sex. But the left keeps making the means-end argument for gun control laws. I rather doubt that they would find this argument persuasive.
