I didn't read before linking to you today, just looked real quick to see if there was a picture.

My post isn't a commentary on your writing or subject matter or ...

Shouldn't that be "aided and bedded?"

Aw, crap! I previewed when I thought I posted and closed the window...grrr! It was a good comment, too - I even used the phrase "of Orwellian proportions".

Anyway, in a nutshell, as I understand the strictest legal sense of the word sodomy it's anything outside of straight genital to genital contact, and the only place your mouth can go is the other person's mouth. So by the legal definition, the only non-criminal sex would be between a man and woman in the missionary position with zero foreplay. Yawn.

It's lazy to use the word "sodomy" as only describing gay anal sex between men, but really, isn't that the one final taboo? People say things all the time like, "What gay men do behind closed doors doesn't concern me - I just don't want to know about it" when they not only don't have a "problem" with lesbians, but that's their preferred porn.

If we take the wickedest of all the wicked deeds and make it a household word then it'll be easier, in my opinion, to remove the stigma attached to, say, the transgendered or other aspects of sexual "deviation".

Hell, I'm going to be walking around for weeks giving it, "Isn't it great that gay men can now have anal sex? Isn't that wonderful? Think about it - I mean *really* think about it...good for them. Anal sex free from prosecution for all!"

I think this is true especially considering the dumb comments I've heard from straight people who have anal sex. "Well...that's different. Two guys doing it is just gross." Um, hello?

I don't think it's gross - I think it's the one sexual of area that the gay men and straight couple can find equal footing. Of course, with gay men it's taken for granted that they're having anal sex (which is funny, considering how many gay men I know that don't engage in anal sex) and if straight people have anal sex they're considered remarkably risque (again, funny, considering how many straight people I know that do it).

I think the straights may even outnumber the gays on the anal sex front. You know, if anyone's keeping score.

Um...my first comment that I lost was much better than this one; sorry.

You know - when you said something about no longer being a felon in thirteen states it evoked images of some cross-country crime spree...like you were hopping from state to state, having sex with women, on the run from the law. "It wasn't me! It was the one-armed man!"

oh my god, that cracked me up...that's so inappropriate. The one-armed man...ah, I'm a dork.

Robyn - The "bedded" was implied!

Natalie - It was 1987, a very good summer for me. And my only run-in with the law was a speeding ticket in Alabama. And next time, could you use the term Anal Sex a little more, I don't think everyone is clear on your point ;)

My parents and anal sex in the same entry - I feel dizzy...

Sodoyou sodomy!

analanalanalanalanalanalanal - wow, that has the name Lana in there. Lanalanalana.

natalienatalienatalie - that has alien in there. Anal aliens.

(I'm babbling because I'm fighting the urge to tell you how old I was in your infamous summer of '87...*cough ten cough*)

That was wrong and I'm sorry.

Anal!

TEN?!? Thanks. Thanks for that one. I was drinking (legally) in the bars of San Francisco while you were eating crayons. That's just great...

Just reading through the comments... and it struck me as odd how many people are familiar with their friends' sexual position favs.

I'd have to say, for some reason I have more knowledge than I care to about who shaves what body parts ... but not where they put, their, uh, freshly shaven parts once the stubble has been removed.

Is it time for a poll?

Nah.

Heh Heh - she said "poll"

Posted by: MJ at June 27, 2003 02:48 PM

Yes! Thank you. I've been waiting for somebody else to take notice that we haven't cornered the market on sodomy.

I went on a rant at work the other day about all this since the front page headline was all about how the decision affected gay people but all of the straight people there just stared at me blankly.

I'm reminded of a conversation I had with my mother once when she was explaining to me what lesbians do in bed (Ha! I love it when straight people want to educate me on what I do in bed. Yeah, we're just hugging.) Anyway, my mom actually told me, I swear she said this..."Lesbians put their mouths on each others ussypays." Yes, she really did say "ussypay." She also said that that was gross. I pondered this for a moment and suddenly felt very sad for my poor sweet mother.
