Saw a study the other day that linked certain colon cancers with the prevalence of a particular strain of bacteria that is usually exclusively found in the mouth. Correlation != causation and all that, but that does kind of correspond with what seem to be generational shifts in certain sexual practices. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07182-w https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07182-w

'seeming generational shifts in certain sexual practices' to who? to you apparently, right?

  To me, yes. I thought I was clear about the speculative and personal nature of my observation.

    'to me' makes it much clearer.

        no, the addition of 'to me' makes it objectively clearer. unless you're intentionally being obtuse, right?

        Sorry I'm confused - clearer to you?
        nickburns 3y ago
        clearly.

        Thanks for clarifying - I usually assume that when someone makes a subjective claim about how something "seems" that the "to me" part is implied, obvious even, but I forgot where I was. By the way, do you have a peer reviewed study to back up your claims?
