A member asked:
Can you tell me if there's a foreskin, does it mean that a man recieving anal sex with a man whose penis has a foreskin could get bowel cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't know of: Association between male anal receptive sex by penis w foreskin ; the development of anal/ intestinal cancer. But, males who are circumcised have a v risk of developing hpv (genital warts). So, this might be the connection you were looking for with anal cancer.
