Bro, MD.
The "Google it you weirdo" killed me....🤣🤣

......uhhhb yes....I have my PhD in Googology...and my intense 15 minute search of the interwebs leads me to believe.......

15 whole minutes?! Bro, you're going above and beyond there, dude!

Lately, I’ve been exposed to it about 5 times a week

this dude just wants a scientific excuse to not eat pussy

5 times a week bro yeah bro i got a prescription bro.

Didn't Michael Douglas claim this happened to him?

He said he caught HPV, an STI that can cause cancer.
The pH of a vagina is approximately the same as a mouth and is not anywhere acidic enough to cause any cellular damage, much less enough sustained damage to cause cancer.

The pH of vagina is around 4 and mouth is around 6,5 so vaginas are around 300 times more acidic than mouths. Not to say that this pH contributes to cancer in any way. HPV can cause oral or throat cancer, but vaginal pH has nothing to do with it.

I'm sorry to have to ask you this, but a quick search showed that the vagina has a pH of approximately 3,8 to 4,4 while a mouth has typically between 6,5 and 7,4 so this would make a huge difference? Perhaps i got the numbers wrong, if anyone knows something different i would be happy to hear that!

The pH scale is logarithmic. So a difference of 1 pH unit is a 10x difference in acidity. Based on the numbers you found, a vagina is ~1000x more acidic than a mouth, but the acid concentration is still super low. Stomach acid on the other hand has a pH of 1-2 I think.

My bad I should have double checked that and not just taken the quick comparison from a med student friend.
Even with a pH of ~4, though, I don't think that it can cause enough cellular damage to be considered carcinogenic, or we would be considering orange juice carcinogenic as well.

My job involves handling lots of concentrated nitric, hydrochloric, and hydrofluoric acid, which have pH < -1. None of them is labeled as being carcinogenic/mutagenic. To my knowledge, acids aren't inherently carcinogenic so pH can't be broadly linked to carcinogenicity. Specific acids may be carcinogenic, and in those cases pH will tell you something about the acid concentration.
On the other hand, I'm not a biologist or toxicologist or anything like that so I could be totally wrong. I'm just a person who works with a lot of acid.

I think he's confusing HPV and H. pylori.
H pylori can cause stomach ulcers and potentially cancer.

I was never under the impression that this was physiologically possible.

The extremely common STI HPV can cause a number of cancers, including cervical, and can be spread by oral. Oral sex isn't inherently capable of causing cancer. The HPV vaccine prevents a large number of HPV strains and is highly recommended.

I meant I was never under the impression that the pH of a vagina can cause cancer. I really did think Michael Douglas claimed he got cancer as a direct result of oral sex.

People with constant lifelong nausea probably vomits more than 2 times per year ...

Liquor can contribute to oral cancers. I hope he doesn't drink.
2
So if he's so afaraid of acidic things going down his throat I assume he doesn't eat any fruit either, or drink alcoholic beverages or consume anything else, right?
2
Yeah I don’t think he thought this through.

Blue: Exposure to the pH of a coochie contributes to cancer.
Purple: What is the pH of a vagina?
Blue: Ew! Weirdo! Why would anyone know that!?!
