http://www.mediaite.com/online/bernie-sanders-once-blamed-cervical-cancer-on-a-lack-of-orgasms/Bernie Sanders Once Blamed Cervical Cancer on a Lack of Orgasms
The New York Times ran a frontpage investigative report on Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders early political history on July 4th. But buried in the piece is the bizarre fact that Sanders once questioned whether or not cancer and cervical cancer in particular was caused by a lack of orgasms.
<...>
This should go without saying, but there is no evidence that orgasms have anything to do with cancer or cervical cancer.

(3,343 posts)Of how Hillary voted for the Iraq war because she believed bombing women and children was a cure for dictatorship.
Obviously it's not.
Live and learn I guess.

(3,649 posts)That article is about something he wrote over 40 years ago citing scientific literature just as old, if not older. Look, we all know you support Hillary, but this thread is just nonsense.
Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)just a little update, this was over 50 years ago. Hillary was not even old enough to vote. Sanders was of age, maybe misinformed but he was of age.

(12,689 posts)Sanders didn't get endorsed in 2012 for Senate by Planned Parenthood, so it's probably more about what sort of connection he has to PP overall.

(135,425 posts)This is the tip of the iceberg. He never had much in the way of jobs before he started collecting government paychecks. His best friend called him a "shitty carpenter."
He was paid five cents a word, or whatever, and he wrote a lot of this junk, and he put his NAME on it.
There's lots out there, and there's more where that came from.
44 years ago, he wasn't a child. He was a full grown adult WITH a child. It wouldn't surprise me at all if some of those writings did influence PP.

(90,645 posts)...her cancer of the lady-parts. It was just amazing the kind of stuff that got offloaded on women in the 20th century in the name of Science. Science that was conducted almost exclusively by men, I might add.
We now know better. I would say that between her cigarette smoking and possibly a case of HPV from her one sexual partner, there's a damn good chance her cancer was not caused by all the genuine anger she kept behind a "pleasant facade."
I'd like to give Bernie a chance to say he's learned better by now, 2016.

(26,549 posts)Planned Parenthood endorsed Sanders because of guns, not enough black people in his pictures, stories from 40 years ago, only caring about economics, and just how terrible Sanders supporters are.

An orgasm a day could keep prostate cancer at bay
Now, men and prostate cancer is not the same thing as women and cervical cancer, however, "hoo hoo ha ha it's bathshittery to suggest orgasms can have anything to do with preventing cancer" = not true.
Of course I realize that the Vatican or assorted members of the Jr. Anti-Sex League may not like it, for whatever reason...
but hey, science has a tendency to piss dogmatists off, doesn't it.

(14,255 posts)Or vindictive. I don't care about the endorsement - if Liz Warren endorsed Hillary, I would still be voting for Bernie - but the way the endorsement was framed was ridiculous, implying that anyone who stood with PP should also stand with HRC. Didn't work, and now the spin is approaching category 5. But, like a hurricane that dies out at sea, no damage done, no Bernie supporters lost.

(55,981 posts)works by the organization will suffer. To snub two candidates that are completely supportive of PP and it's mission will not only hurt the mission of PP but also work to continue the divide in our Party. We need a change from a culture where big money thinks they can buy the White House.
TexasBushwhacker
(20,174 posts)But they didn't discover a relationship between cervical cancer and HPV until 1976. There was a LOT of speculation about causes and they were considering everything. One thing that was observed was that nuns almost never got cervical cancer, nor did Orthodox Jewish women. What could 2 such disparate groups have in common? Scientists were scratching their heads.
Of course, most nuns are virgins. Orthodox Jewish women are usually virgins when they marry and their husbands are all circumcized. The intact penis is more likely to harbour bacteria and viruses, including HPV and HIV, than the circumcized penis. We know that NOW, but we didn't know it then.
