Terri Murray says that Jean-Paul Sartre was simply wrong about gay people and self-deception.

Is homosexuality 'Bad Faith'.

Some can accept gay as being "the way they were born"
and thats fine if they see it as a variation in genes or hormones or whatever ,
but do you think the world is ready for bi sexual ,??
that can't be written of as the way they were born , it's a conscious decision ,
as a bi person myself I can say quite openly , I chose to expand my sexual experiences ,
so how do you think the world will handle bi ,
we already have men with more than one wife , in many countries ,
so the wives would be lesbians and anything goes ,
do you think the world is ready for that ,,???

In terms of design, the anal sphincter system was not intended for objects entering. The wiring is all backwards. Thus, one can expect damage to occur, sometimes immediate, others as more of a repetitive damage pattern.

Anatomically, there are two doorways. The internal circular door is controlled by the involuntary nervous system - it runs on automatic. When a bowel movement enters the rectum pressure is exerted against this 'door'. The door gradually opens while sending a message to you - 'time to find a bathroom'. The outer door is under conscious control - you release it at the appropriate time and place. When I do a digital rectal exam on a man I explain all of this to them. I also point out that doing a 'quick exam'
causes a tremendous amount of pain as it violates the rule of function.
Gerald Bock, MD

“I expose to men the origin of their first, and perhaps second, reason for existing.” Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) wrote these words above his drawing “The Copulation” .

Magnetic resonance imaging of male and female genitals during coitus and female sexual arousal showed that during “missionary position” intercourse the position of the human genitals during coitus gives a convincing impression of the enormous size of the average penis in erection and of the volume of vaginal and pelvic space required by the pendulous part of the penis. It has shown that magnetic resonance images of the female sexual response and the male and female genitals during coitus are feasible and beautiful.

Perfect match.

You think your ass changes. LOL.

I am not going to challenge the primary functions of the human body.

toward the end he seems to be agreeing there is no essential sexual state, yet these states are not choices...? It seems to undermine a lot in what he is saying, or defending.

I am using the human body to show that the anus/rectum is not classified or was made as a sexual 'organ'. Which essentially is designed for reproduction.

I don't think it's of much help to assume homosexuality automatically implies certain activities. By itself it's a rather harmless term, not that far from 'mates'. So lets not get our imaginations tethered to unnecessary assumptions, which can lead to judgemental stances. Believe in the good of others and you are half way to God, someone said to me once.

Hi folks. Sorry about the censorship in this thread, but we had a complaint and so far as I can tell the complaint was that there was an unnecessary and distressing amount of physical detail. Ahem.

So following the general guideline that any threads which would make the casual philosophical visitor go "Eeuch - I'm not visiting that forum again!" are a bad thing, I've done some pruning. After all, if people want to find out about the dynamics of anal sex, there are certainly other sites on the internet where that is possible.
