Quote: Pariah said: With the fact being that at any age it's physically abrasive, there can be no consentual age for that.
No matter how many times you say that, it doesn't make it true. When the medical community as a whole doesn't share your ideas, you might want to reconsider that perhaps your opinion is biased and incorrect...no matter how much you want it to be true.
You might try reading some documentation before you make such assumptions.
You would then find that it is your own assumptions that are wishful thinking, not Pariah's statements.
The Center for Disease Control ( CDC ) has described the increased risk-factors of anal sex.
According to a TIME magazine cover story in 1989-1990 that I read on AIDS, which frankly blew my mind with its surprisingly explicit description of anal sex, in what had been up to then a relatively conservative publication.
TIME described the act of penetration during anal sex, even the most gentle and well-lubricated penetration, always results in small tears in the anal cavity, that result in some degree of bleeding, and thus blood-to-blood contact, that makes transmission of AIDS far more likely during anal sex than any other sex.
As contrasted with the vagina, which is designed for sex (unlike the rectum). The vagina has natural immunity and defenses against foreign elements. The vagina has natural fluids to prevent tearing during sex.
As former talk-show host Morton Downey Jr. said:
"The anus is an exit, not an entrance !"
Statistics show gay men are prone to a far greater ratio of sexually transmitted diseases, because the rectum is not designed for sex, or protection from sexually transmitted disease.
In addition, I haven't seen one point raised in this topic that wasn't already covered in detail in the prior topic.
Much as gays and liberals here would like to pretend there isn't a factual and intelligent counterpoint to the issues raised here, and would like to blanket-label anyone who disagrees with them as "ignorant" or "uninformed" or "homophobic" or "religious fanatics" or whatever.
These are just emotionally charged liberal labels that bypass the polite and intelligent responses by conservatives here.
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
