A weird question

[metalhead1]

would a person that have a cigeratte smoking fetish ) have an increased danger of cancer related to the penis or other organs involved in masturbation? I imagine that since there is more blood going to the penis that there is an increase of carcinogen chemicals in the penis or balls or whatever is related in masturbation? i also wounder if the smoke coming off the ciggerette would touch my penis and somehow cause damage that way, or if exhaling the smoke would damage penis by blowing smoke on it.

I have very little knowledge on how any of this works, but it just makes sense in my head that the carcinogen chemicals would be rushing to the penis due to the increased blood in it during masturbation?

or does this make no sense at all?

i know some cancers show no symptoms until it grows.


i appreciate all help, i am considering seeing a specialist of some kind to answer this question that im pretty sure no one has an answer for


i have ocd and this has been fucking with me for days. i have a doctor appointment this monday that was made before i started this obsession. I rather not have this embarassing conversation with my general doctor
as i dont think there has ever been a study on this or anything...

Well, considering cigarettes are carcinogens, they increase the risk of cancer in all parts of the body, and I don't think that it increases the chances of testicular cancer or cancer around that area anymore than it does within your entire body.

If your penis is errect for the entire day, which would be a problem in itself, then possibly so. You're much more likely to develop lung cancer than cancer around that area, dependent also on genetic factors (cancer in family, relatives)

As for blowing smoke on your penis, I have no idea if that would increase the risk around that area - but I presume so as the tip of your penis is exposed skin essentially. I could however be wrong.

Do you mean would someone who smokes while masturbating have an increased risk of cancer to the reproductive organs compared to someone who smokes the same amount but doesn't smoke while masturbating? I don't think there is any evidence on this, it would be extremely difficult to study, but my feeling is that it is pretty unlikely.

Masturbation on its own does not cause cancer or increase your chances of getting cancer (in fact there is some evidence it may even decrease your risk of cancer). Smoking tobacco is a risk factor in most cancers. But I have not read anything that would indicate that blowing smoke on the genitals or increasing blood flow to the area while smoking increases one's risk for cancer in that specific area, in comparison to smoking in general. Tobacco use does greatly increase the chances of developing oral cancer; smoking and other tobacco use are associated with about 75% of oral cancer cases. This is caused by irritation of the mucous membranes of the mouth from the smoke and heat combined with the carcinogens present in the smoke. Cancers affecting the reproductive organs and general area in men include penis cancer, testicular cancer, prostate cancer, anal cancer, and skin cancer. The head of the penis, the inside of the foreskin, the urethra and the anal canal are mucous membranes. Is is not unreasonable to speculate that very frequent application of tobacco smoke to these areas could possibly increase the risk of cancer to these areas in the same way that it does to the mouth.

Penis cancer is rare. You can read more about it and the risk factors here: Carcinoma of the penis

As for increasing blood flow to the area while smoking, I have no idea, but personally I would doubt that would increase your risk of cancer, if it had any effect I would be inclined to believe that increased blood flow to an area might even decrease your chances of developing cancer. Increased ejaculation and blood flow is theorized to help clear toxins and pathogens from the area. [Related reading]

My recommendations would be to not stress to much about it - worrying is bad for you, and to make sure you have excellent hygiene, clean the penis and surrounding areas well after your cigarette play, but avoid harsh soaps. Another option would be to switch to electronic cigarettes which don't contain carcinogens but you could still get the look and feel of the vapor. Smoking is going to increase your risk of cancer in general regardless of what you do while smoking and a doctor is going to just suggest you quit smoking completely.
