	Obesity and Cancer: Questions and Answers , Cancer Facts 3.70
		For some cancers, such as colon and breast, it is not clear whether the increased cancer risk in obese people is due to the extra weight; a high-fat, high-calorie diet; a lack of physical activity; or a combination of these factors.
		However, possible mechanisms include alterations in sex hormones (e.g., estrogen, progesterone, and androgens), and insulin and IGF—1 in obese people that may account for their increased risk for cancers of the breast, endometrium, and colon.
		Colon cancer: In 2002, a major review of observational trials found that physical activity reduced colon cancer risk by 50 percent.

	Encyclopedia: Human sexual behavior
		Sexual behavior, like other kinds of social activity, is generally governed by rules of etiquette which are culturally specific and vary widely (see sexual morality, sexual norms).
		Despite stereotypes and common misconceptions, there are no forms of sexual activity exclusive to same-gender sexual behavior that can not also be found in opposite-gender sexual behavior, save those involving contact of the same sex genitalia and tribadism.
		People who engage exclusively in same-sex sexual practices do not necessarily identify themselves as "gay" or lesbian, and different definitions of homosexual may include or exclude people with varying levels of activity, frequency, or interest.

		Prior intercourse activity with a casual partner (an indicator of spillover), on the other hand, was not significantly related to casual sex on spring break (Maticka-Tyndale et al., 1998).
		Situational conditions in the form of activities or experiences of spring breakers and peer group role modeling of casual sex during spring break were strong predictors of casual sex activity.
		They suggested the more specific concept of situational disinhibition to explain the actions of the 24% in their sample who reported sexual intercourse and the 33% who reported other forms of sexual activity (Eiser & Ford, 1995).
