Doc Claims Gay Sex Causes Swine Flu



A prominent doctor in Malaysia is claiming that gay sex and masturbation make the body more susceptible to the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu.

According to Bernama , Malaysia's state-run newspaper, Dr. V.M. Palaniappan, a practitioner of complementary therapy, lists avoiding masturbation and homosexual activities as preventative measures against H1N1.

Palaniappan claims that "when one masturbates, or indulges in homosexual activity, his (her) body develops friction heat, and that produces acid, making the body hyperacidosed, giving burning sensation while urinating and toileting, and making the person an easy target for H1N1 infection."

He claims that dry masturbation, which he says "most men, irrespective of their marital status and age," engage in, but that it is "extremely rare among females of all age groups," is dangerous for the same reason.

He emphasized that sex between members of the opposite sex was completely safe. Dr. Palaniappan also suggests coconut water as an herbal remedy for the prevention of H1N1.

In Malaysia homosexuality is considered a crime punishable by 20 years in jail, caning, and in some states, execution.

    Let me make sure I grasp this correctly: If an individual does not masturbate or engage in homosexual behavior, he doesn't need to be worried about the swine flu, right? So all the people who have died of swine flu were either masturbators or homosexual-behavior-engaging people? The doc is an ass. Does anyone in Malaysia actually believe this crap?

    The doctor may be extrapolating from personal experience. And what about the swine? Were they having gay sex or masturbating?

    When something is against the rules of nature it will always lead incurable deadly diseases ie the AIDS. How do you guys then explain where does this no-cure disease originate from ? Without any cause ? Start researching on the fate of Prophet Luth non-followers, how they're turned to stone.

    @ scott from Birmingham - Alabama has more than its fair share of nut jobs, as well as the U.S. at large for that matter. To those who mock Malaysia, our country isn't that much better.

    Not much different from the religious nuts we have here. These people have a longing for the return of the Dark Ages.
