Dr. Canfield is just kidding. You won't prove him wrong. Testicular cancer strikes at random (there's an old bad study linking it to athletics that I think just reflects that a man who had lost a testis might exaggerate his past sports achievement.) Cancer of the penis is caused by HPV virus. Love safely.

It does not: Forgive my frankness. Whoever told you this is either a fool or a liar. If this is a "spiritual advisor", you'd do well simply to ignore this person and everything else they tell you. Being a young man is difficult enough without this cruel, evil counsel. Enjoy being a man, think about something nice rather than internet trash, and be discerning. Best wishes.
