Penis cancer is thankfully rare, but cases are rising. Some experts predict a 77% increase in penis cancer by 2050.

Papillomaviruses spread through skin contact and are probably humankind’s most commonly transmitted sexual infection. Over 70% of sexually active adults will contract papillomavirus infections, usually in adolescence.

The lesson here is if you got a mouth, butt, or crotch, get the HPV vaccine. Got kids? They can get the vaccine at 11 or 12. Vaccinate them as young as you can.
Got a doctor that won’t let you vaccinate your kids at that age - refer them to the CDC, and if they still refuse, get a different doctor.

When I got mine about 10 years ago, the process was that you get three shots spaced a month apart.
