Two Ways of Life; Two Ways of Love
Romance holds out for sustained self-idealization. Those who romance themselves demand sustainably romantic partners. Love is only possible when you've gotten over that self-idealization, when you've lived with your flaws long enough that you're inured to them, unflinching when their exposed.

Skin tumor vaccine shows promise in wild mice, rising hope for transplant patients
Papillomaviruses (linked to cervical cancer when they infect the mucosal tissue in the female reproductive tract) can also infect normal skin, where they cause warts and possibly non-melanoma skin cancer, mostly in immune-suppressed organ transplant patients. A new article suggests that vaccination might prevent virus-associated benign and malignant skin tumors. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

20% rise in penile cancer: are STIs to blame?
Conclusion
This study found that the incidence of penile cancer increased by 20% from 1979 to 2009; however, it fluctuated during the period. For example, the incidence in 2008 was the same as in 1980, although the overall trend is that of an increase. The study does not prove the causes of this increase, but the most important factors known to increase the risk include:
smoking
human papilloma virus (which causes warts)
However, it is also possible that the increased incidence of penile cancer is due simply to more people being diagnosed.
The apparent good news is that the proportion of men surviving for at least a yea...
