What is the radical right-wings obsession with anal sex?
http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20050530&s=mcgarvey


Late last October Dr. W. David Hager, a prominent obstetrician-gynecologist and Bush Administration appointee to the Advisory Committee for Reproductive Health Drugs in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), took to the pulpit as the featured speaker at a morning service. He stood in the campus chapel at Asbury College, a small evangelical Christian school nestled among picturesque horse farms in the small town of Wilmore in Kentucky's bluegrass region. Hager is an Asburian nabob; his elderly father is a past president of the college, and Hager himself currently sits on his alma mater's board of trustees. Even the school's administrative building, Hager Hall, bears the family name.
...
Back at Asbury, Hager cast himself as a victim of religious persecution in his sermon. "You see...there is a war going on in this country," he said gravely. "And I'm not speaking about the war in Iraq. It's a war being waged against Christians, particularly evangelical Christians. It wasn't my scientific record that came under scrutiny . It was my faith.... By making myself available, God has used me to stand in the breach.... Just as he has used me, he can use you."
Up on the dais, several men seated behind Hager nodded solemnly in agreement. But out in the audience, Linda Carruth Davis--co-author with Hager of Stress and the Woman's Body, and, more saliently, his former wife of thirty-two years--was enraged. "It was the most disgusting thing I've ever heard," she recalled months later, through clenched teeth.

...

According to Davis, Hager's public moralizing on sexual matters clashed with his deplorable treatment of her during their marriage. Davis alleges that between 1995 and their divorce in 2002, Hager repeatedly sodomized her without her consent. Several sources on and off the record confirmed that she had told them it was the sexual and emotional abuse within their marriage that eventually forced her out. "I probably wouldn't have objected so much, or felt it was so abusive if he had just wanted normal sex all the time," she explained to me. "But it was the painful, invasive, totally nonconsensual nature of the sex that was so horrible."

6. only when it's forced is it about the power...
my first experience with it was initiated by the woman, and it's been my experience since then that the majority of women enjoy it(obviously not when it's forced...).

2. Like teens, they always want the forbidden.....
Damn, though. There is a controlling mindset there that is really frightening. Makes me interested in the neuromapping studies going on (MRI) and "personality types." I'm guessing there really is something "there."

4. Sounds like
"Davis alleges that between 1995 and their divorce in 2002, Hager repeatedly sodomized her without her consent."

Sounds like God commanded him to 'stand in the breach' very often!

5. "Painful" and "nonconsensual" are the key words
They are into it because they are sadists, period. It is possible to have pleasurable receptive anal sex, but that doesn't interest them. They want to kill you with their dicks. It is the same mentality as a prison rapist. That woman lived what it's like to be a ninety-pound, five-foot-tall man in any prison in America.

7. A friend of mine has this total freeper asshole fiance
One night we were all out and the subject of anal sex came up. The dude was literally on the edge of his seat, he was so interested. He then proceeded to get into a discussion with one of the other guys, right in front of all of us, about how he could convince our friend to let him do it to her! :wow:

10. There is no way I would stay with someone that
sodomized me without my consent. After the first time, I would have left town.

12. because they are sexually repressed.
Edited on Thu May-12-05 10:32 AM by FLDem5
we are sexual beings, you shouldn't repress it.
Look at the catholic church. It's unnatural.

13. yep
that sounds just about right...

Wingers are a perverse group.

What they want to penalize is anyone enjoying sex.

15. Correction
Anyone but THEM enjoying sex. Raping the ass obliterates any possibility of the victim feeling pleasure, because the pain is so intense.

That's the whole point of most of these guys' LIVES. To get off and give nothing but pain in return.
