A reader writes, apropos the various posts on homosexuality:
I think the basic problem is simple: many people find anal sex to be gross. Unfortunately, in thinking so, people seem to very carefully overlook the reality that pretty much EVERY form of sex is pretty darn gross from the standpoint of “finer sensibilities.” It’s just that human lust seems to be in part designed to help overide such considerations and carefully change the subject from “hygine” to “hell yeah!” Some blinders seem built in to the human psyche, and, I guess, thankfuly so.
I’ve always thought that if people applied otherwise applicable standards of ickiness to sex or to food, no-one would ever enjoy either. (Do you know what’s crawled all over that carrot? Do you know how many microscopic bugs there are on that sandwich?)
