Oral sex is associated with reduced incidence of recurrent miscarriage^[$]

In a matched case control study, 97 women with at least three unexplained consecutive miscarriages prior to the 20th week of gestation with the same partner were included. Cases were younger than 36 years at time of the third miscarriage. The control group included 137 matched women with an uneventful pregnancy. The association between oral sex and recurrent miscarriage was assessed with conditional logistic regression, odds ratios (ORs) were estimated. Missing data were imputed using Imputation by Chained Equations.

In the matched analysis, 41 out of 72 women with recurrent miscarriage had have oral sex, whereas 70 out of 96 matched controls answered positive to this question (56.9% vs. 72.9%, OR 0.50 95%CI 0.25-0.97, p = 0.04). After imputation of missing exposure data (51.7%), the association became weaker (OR 0.67, 95%CI 0.36-1.24, p = 0.21).

[EDIT: The paper is referring to females giving oral sex to males. --fyngyrz]

  is that oral sex causes less impact trauma in the vicinity of the developing embryo, leading to less miscarriages?

  Doesn't seem like a big stretch (unlike pregnancy)

    Third link

    Having sex more often can reduce the risk of developing a serious medical condition called pre-eclampsia during pregnancy. Sperm contains a special protein that increases the chances for a successful pregnancy.

    Bastages could have mentioned this.

      Banging a pregnant chick is like putting gas in a car you already wrecked.
