Yes it is. Google "hpv penile cancer".

  When I said, "isn't really" I meant "is hardly." Penile cancer is incredibly rare, I don't think HPV would be an explanation for colorectal cancer rising in the entire population, which is mostly what I was referring to. It seems to be gay men in which HPV eventually becomes colorectal cancer. Not to mention we now have a vaccine. So there has to be something else.

    Point taken. I was reacting to your post as stated because it's often said that HPV is not a cancer risk for men. You're correct that it wouldn't explain a general rise in colorectal cancer across the board.

  That has nothing to do with rectal cancer, except in gay men. Think about why HPV and the penis might be related for a second.
