Fair enough. Can't argue with Frazzled's logic.

Who cares how nature intended it? We're typing messages into small boxes which use coded electrons to send messages to other little boxes to show everyone else our little messages. It's not natural.

But we do it because we enjoy, and society allows it because it does greater society no harm. The same holds for gay marriage, and well, everything.

Only if it is unprotected and with multiple partners with unknown sexual histories. Which is a bad idea no matter who is involved.

No, false. Ask a a doctor if repeated penetration of that "area" has any negative impact on one's health.

Hell, don't even do that. Take a gander at Belladonna's chassis.

Nina Hartley might be a better example. Penetration with a finger, penis, or similarly sized sex toy isn't going to do anything if you use appropriate amounts of lube, don't use lube that has numbing agents/poppers/etc, and make sure you have a healthy diet high in fiber (the latter of which you should have anyhow!). The latter will give you a healthy anus to begin with, the middle will help you listen to your body's messages like "ow, back off", and the former isn't going to do anything that eating red meat everyday won't. That's if you're into the whole "anal penetration" thing. You don't have to penetrate, and even for people who're into penetration it's more like a weekly treat than a daily meat and two veg.

I mean you might as well use that mope in California that killed people as being representative of people in porno, or Chris Benoit's brain as being representative of those of people in sports, as using Belladonna's kiester as being representative of the long term health effects of anal sex.

Prejudices are what fools use for reason. - Voltaire
(A very applicable quote in this thread.)

Using negligible health risks as a reason to marginalize groups of consenting adults and prevent them from having equal rights in the state is wrong.
Two guys without a life threatening STI will not give a life threatening STI to each other.
Also, this may be heresy to say in a straight crowd but..... You can be gay and not into butsecks.
Which also removes the notion that your protecting someone's health by preventing them from having state given financial and legal rights.
The health line of reason is further diminished when measured against the legal health risks taken by the status quo.

It's worthwhile to add that anal sex isn't for everyone, much like not all forms of sex are for everyone (everyone here parsed as adults, thank you very much). Much like sex with people of the same gender isn't for everyone, and sex with people of another gender isn't for everyone.

Part of the problem with normative arguments relating to sex is that while the population is largely homogenous in regard to what they have to work with (in other ways, diverse enough to make things really complicated), how they can work with them is highly specific to the individual.

Calm down, Clarence.

Someone asked what was also illegal that was less unhealthy than sodomy. I said smoking pot. That doesn't make me Jerry Fallwell.

Having things in your Ass beyond a certain threshold is unhealthy, period. No amount of knee jerking or shouting about equality is going to change that.

in regards to Monster Rain's response to my post:
   All I'm saying is that even having -health risk- as a foot note is a lame deflection against valid points.
   As is tossing "knee jerking or shouting about equality", out there.

...and why Clarence ?

It wasn't a deflection against anything.

It was an answer to a question. You're skirting my absolutely factual point that excessive Ass play can ruin one's nether regions. I also don't recall indicating that 99 percent of homosexuals put pineapples in their anuses(anusexen? anii?) every 6 hours.

I never said it had anything to do with it's legalization. If health risks were cause for things to be illegal I don't think we'd have the tobacco industry that we do in this country.

And why not Clarence?

Though if I had to choose between legalizing pot and legalizing gay marriage, I'd go with the former. And hopefully the slippery slope argument holds true after Prop 8 is completely overturned and I can then marry my 6-foot bong.

My ass is fine, and it's been penetrated repeatedly.

I'll be the judge of who has a fine ass, thank you very much.

I really don't see the relevance of this to marriage.

Women often suffer greatly from sex and childbirth. It was probably one of the major causes of premature death until the early 20th century and it still is in the third world.

No-one thinks women should be prevented from marrying.

I live overlooking the Sydney Town Hall... there was a bit of a gay rally there today or something. 'Lifting the ban on gay marriage'...

Gay marriage isn't banned in Australia, it's just not technically possible. I wish they'd pay attention to what they're lobbying for.

You guys are taking the piss now, right?

I never indicated that running the risk of having a Belladonna Ass is grounds for keeping gay marriage illegal.

Must not post picture of kermit goatse puppet...

No, you certainly must not.

All done here?
