Texas sodomy laws

[elfs]

This may be the most bizarre rationale I have ever read:

Sodomy between unmarried persons of different sexes occur within relationships which Texas may wish to encourage, either as valuable in themselves, or because they could mature into marriages, or both."

The above quote is from the Family Research Council, an organization of very conservative Catholics, in their friend-of-the-court brief to the Supreme Court regarding Texas's sodomy law.

In other words, anal sex, even a one-night-stand of anal sex, in a heterosexual coupling is "all right" because it has the potential to lead to marriage and children.

A really good analysis of the whole kebab can be found in Andrew Sullivan's wonderful essay, We're All Sodomites Now.

Do you really like it up the butt? Cause I've always wanted to try it, but none of my girlfriends have ever wanted to.

The argument hangs together, if you accept the axioms... Which I suppose is par for the Catholic church.

Any idea when the USSC comes to a decision?

It is however consistent.

The Catholic church's view is that as long as
the sexual activerty leads to unprotected PiV sex
then its ok.

So Oral sex, Anal sex, and anything else as long
as there used as a form of forplay are ok. So
this is simply an extention of the conscept as
long as some point down the road sodmy leads
to het marriges its ok.

I have never done a babe in the booty, for that matter in any orifice since I am mid-forties virgin by choice. But I do have a fascination with anal. I can not believe it is as popular as it is with single women. Approx. 25% have done it and 15% do it on regular basis.

I guess oral with about 75% of single women performing fellatio on a regular basis is boring....
