Oral cancer is a cancer that affects any part of the mouth including the lips, tongue, gums, inner cheeks, roof or floor of the mouth, or back of the throat. While many of the risk factors for oral cancer are not related to sex, (e.g., tobacco use, heavy alcohol use, a weakened immune system, and excessive sun exposure to the lips,) the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) causes about 70% of oropharyngeal cancers (a specific type of oral cancer). HPV can be spread to the mouth and throat through oral sex.

Sexual dysfunction, mental health issues, and relationship dissatisfaction are often interrelated issues. Past studies have shown a relationship between relationship quality and sexual satisfaction that is bidirectional, meaning that it occurs in both directions. If a person is satisfied in their relationship, they are more likely to be satisfied with their sex life and vice versa. On the other hand, if a person is dissatisfied in their relationship, they are more likely to experience sexual dissatisfaction.
