The other guy's sperm is about a major health risk that is rarely discussed today. The author, a Mayo trained board certified urologists and former clinical instructor at the University of Utah College of Medicine, argues that sperm has a role in a variety of autoimmune diseases including diabetes, thyroiditis, lupus erythematosus, and arthritis.The author concludes that there is evidence that, in certain situations, non self sperm can cause cancer and other diseases, especially as related to male homosexual behavior and certain other kinds of sexual behavior. It is well known that the sperm which enters the circulation system produces an immune reaction. He also claims that evidence exists that other men's sperm may be the essential cause of gonorrhea, nonspecific urethritis, and syphilis. He then provides evidence that bacteria and Treponema are complicating factors only, and that the absence or eradication of the bacteria and Treponema is a false assurance of lack of disease. Research on longevity has consistently found that those who engage in homosexual behavior live to be less that half as old as the married heterosexual population. Part of the reason is due to aids, but most persons actively involved in the homosexual lifestyle commonly suffer from a wide variety of diseases, especially various types of infections and cancers. For this reason, the average age of death for one involved in the homosexual lifestyle is around 44, and those that have aids live about 10 percent less. This work could help to explain why. Is the author correct? This is not an easy question to answer, but this book has certainly raised some questions that must sooner or later be answered. It is must reading for all of those involved in gay health concerns. It is also a neglected area of research that needs to be addressed. The reviewer has spent many years in cancer research, both as a student at a medical school, and as a research associate in a medical school, yet has learned much from his reading of this book. I have many questions about Dr. Tyler's thesis but this is what a good book should do.
