Men who, in order to satiate their sexual desire, have sex with animals are found to be at double risk to acquire penile cancer.

Revelation was made by Brazil researchers, who by profession are urologists. In order to reach the conclusion, they enrolled 492 men, aged between 18 and 80 years.

During their research, it was revealed that those men, who indulge in bestiality not only have chances to get diagnosed with penile cancer, but there are also great chances that they get diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases. Out of 492 males, 119 were suffering from Sexually Transmitted Disease, said lead author, Stjnio de Cassio Zequi.

Also, 45% of the males agreed that they had sex with animals and to avoid any medical complexity, they even visit doctors to get themselves screened. More than 59% men revealed that in the last five years, they have got only one opportunity to have sex with animals and 21% of the men were found to be regularly doing it.

Explaining the complications of having sex with animal, Zequi said that animal skin is hard and men penis membranes are quite delicate and repeated sex leads to micro-traumas in penis. He further affirmed, "The genital mucus membranes of animals could have different characteristics from human genitalia, and the animals' secretions are probably different from human fluids”.

Researchers were devastated to know some of the events that unfolded during the research, they found that 35% of the rural Brazilian men have sex with animals in routine and they do not mind doing that.

There is a lot of difference between human and animal genital organs, stressed Zequi, who further asserted that non-human secretions is quite harmful for humans.
