Hey friend, want to hear something strange? There’s a myth circulating saying that dildos can cause cervical cancer – I know, right?!
At the outset, I want to recommend that you don’t really take that seriously, it’s thankfully false – but it is still a widely believed myth, so it’s worth digging into why that is. Like, what’s behind a myth like that? It’s really interesting.
The truth is, dildos can’t cause cervical cancer. But why do so many people still believe this myth? The answer is likely rooted in religion and cultural norms. For example, in some regions, such as South and Central Asia, religious and cultural taboos have often shamed women for engaging in sexual practices that involve dildos. This can lead to a lack of information about sex and sexual health, leading to false information being spread about the risks of using dildos.
Because of this, many people unfortunately still believe that cervical cancer is caused by using dildos. This is completely false, and can even be damaging for women: if you don’t learn the real facts about sexual health, you can put yourself at risk for STDs, unwanted pregnancies, and other serious health issues.
So, if dildos don’t cause cervical cancer, what does? In short, there are several risk factors that can lead to cervical cancer, including the human papillomavirus (HPV), smoking, using birth control, and even having a weakened immune system. It’s also important to remember that having cervical cancer does not mean that you will die – there are many treatments available, and there is a lot of help and support out there for those who do have cervical cancer.
The other confusing thing about dildos and cervical cancer is that the HPV virus, which can lead to cervical cancer, can be transmitted through sexual contact. So if you do use a dildo for sexual pleasure, you should always use a condom to protect yourself from the risk of STDs and other potential health issues.

To sum up, dildos don’t cause cervical cancer. In fact, when used responsibly, dildos can be a healthy and enjoyable part of a sex life. It’s important to be informed about cervical cancer, its risks, and treatments, but at the same time, it’s great to be able to experiment and enjoy healthy sexual practices with the right safety measures in place.
