How can it be a chare is she didn't do the deed?
Good time to ask all males out there to have themselves tested for HPV. HPV
infections caused throat and mouth cancers are spreading as teens equate a
blow job as not being sex. Goes for females too. Michael Douglas's tongue
cancer was caused by HPV. It's putting a strain on his marriage. The
implication is that he got it from some woman in the past. Hard to imagine
with Kirk as his father that Michael would have had to give casting
directors blow jobs to get parts.
Let's be safe out there.
