Nemesis Juggernaut responds to me:

I guess I should ask what a ph balance has to do with either entrancing or exiting.
You mean you can't figure it out? The vagina has an acidic environment which is to kill pathogens that might enter the woman's body through the vagina. Then, when they are dead, the muscular contractions of the vaginal pathway will push them out.
The vaginal environment is actively hostile to sperm and does what it can to expel them, starting with killing them outright. If it were receptive to the idea of sperm coming in, if it were truly an "entrance," then it wouldn't go out of its way to try and kill the sperm, now would it?
If you're going to insist upon the anus as being "exit only," then we must necessarily conclude that the vagina is also "exit only."
quote:
And to think we're all here against such staggering odds. Miraculous!
Indeed, it is. You seem to think that this is some sort of counter to the fact that the vaginal environment is actively hostile to sperm. Why do you think that males need to produce so many hundreds of millions of sperm? Of those hundred million that are deposited into the vagina, only about 50 make it to the egg. It's actually quite difficult to become pregnant.
quote:
What do you need a proctologist for then? Is it that you're gay, and you're offended by scientific fact?
(*chuckle*)
What do I need a proctologist for? Hmmm....could it be that I'm turning 40 next year and my father and his brother both have had prostate problems? Could it be that my mother, her identical twin sister, and my father's mother all have come down with breast cancer, which has relation to prostate cancer in men?
Hmmm...could it be that I am a sex educator and it is my job to talk to the medical establishment regarding such activities?
Nah, that can't possibly be why I might need a proctologist or talk to one about anal sex. It has to be because I'm gay.
Hint: Straight men also engage in anal sex. The prostate is sensitive and stimulation of it can be quite pleasurable.
quote:
Yes, but with fellatio no one is vigorously moving so that cuts would occur.
I daresay you have never had a good blowjob, then. If you're going to be working so delicately on his penis, then I have to wonder how your partner could maintain erection.
The mouth is continually filled with minor cuts and such due to the sharp teeth being there. Fellatio aggravates them.
quote:
I'm glad you're being mature about the whole thing.
Well, you told a joke. Of course I was going to laugh. That's the common response to humorous statements.
quote:
Well, that's not true. The most effective way is abstinence.
And thus, the disingenuousness arises. Obviously, if you don't have sex or engage in sexual activity that does not involve bodily contact, then you don't risk sexually transmitted disease. For one who just complained about "being mature," you seemed to have reverted to a child-like response.
If you're going to have sex where a penis is involved and is going to be touched by someone else, then the most effective way to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted disease is to use a condom. That's why it has been around for over 3000 years.
quote:
The second most effective way is being faithful to one partner and to have your partner reciprocate that faithfulness.
Incorrect. If your partner is infected, then it doesn't matter how faithful the two of you are to each other.
quote:
And yet people still get diseases and pregnant even with condoms.
Indeed. Nobody ever said condoms were perfect. But the way people get diseases and pregnant with condoms isn't because a couple sperm leaked out through a "microscopic pore" in the condom. Instead, the condom broke or some other method of introducing sperm-bearing fluid to the vagina happened (foreplay before the condom was put on, slippage of the condom after ejaculation from poor withdrawal, etc.)
When condoms are used correctly, they prevent pregnancy almost as effectively as the Pill.
quote:
But we aren't talking about the effectiveness of condoms in conjunction with anal sex. This act significantly lowers how effective the condom will be.
No, not if used correctly. One of the common errors, and this is true for vaginal intercourse as well, is not using enough lubrication.
quote:
Well, you know Rrhain, when people started dying from some unknown disease, they started figuring out which demographic was dying.
Indeed...and we found that HIV-transmission is primarily carried out through heterosexual intercourse. Three-quarters of all cases worldwide were the result of penis-vagina sex. About another 20% are through drug use. In fact, male-male sexual intercourse is a tiny fraction of all cases of HIV transmission. Currently, it's pretty much only in the US that HIV transmission is primarily between men. The UK flipped to primarily heterosexual sex about 8 years ago.
quote:
From these similarities, they deduced that homosexual anal sex was present in 100% of the early cases.
Indeed, because they were looking at gay men who don't have vaginas with which to have sex. Oral sex has a much lower risk than anal sex, yes, but there are plenty of other things to worry about with oral sex than HIV. Gonorrhea, syphillis, herpes, chlamydia, all can be transmitted orally.
quote:
It was so prevalant that before AIDS was called, "AIDS," it was first called "GRID" (Gay Related Immune Deficiency).
Indeed, and the reason it isn't called that anymore is because it has nothing to do with being gay. In fact, the overwhelming majority of cases of HIV transmission are through heterosexual sex. Should we start calling it, "Immune Deficiency in Straights," or "IDS"?
quote:
I guess a medical dictionary is a bad place to corroborate this fictitious syndrome?
One that's out of date? Yes. You are quite correct that there are diseases that can be contracted via anal sex, but the idea that only gay men contract them is simply not true. For the same reason that "AIDS" isn't called "GRID" anymore (it isn't "gay-related"), sexually transmitted diseases in the anus are not unique to gay people.
And since anal sex is much more likely to be carried out by heterosexual participants, the idea that it is "gay-related" simply isn't true.
That's why nobody talks about it as "gay bowel syndrome" anymore. Your definition is over 20 years old and is connected to the same ignorance regarding HIV. When the idea that the immune deficiency was connected to gays was discarded, so was "gay bowel syndrome."
That's why the common meaning of the term isn't infection but rather uncontrolled prolapse...which has also been shown to be nonexistent.
quote:
Yes, in fact they do.
Huh? There's a "straight UI syndrome"? Where?
quote:
Unfortunately, it mostly has nothing to do with sex. Vaginitis or urinary infections can be caused by multiple things.
Huh? You mean sex isn't one of those causes? Do you seriously not realize that the urethra is right next to the genitalia in humans? In males, the urethra is part and parcel of the penis. In women, the urethra is right next to the vagina.
quote:
Especially since a penis doesn't go inside the urethra.
Irrelevant. The penis rubs against the urethra during vaginal sex.
quote:
Unfortunately for those who avidly partake of anal sex, there is only one way to get gay bowel syndrome, and that's lots of anal sex.
Incorrect. Just as two people who don't have HIV can have as much sex as they want and not risk passing HIV between them, twopeople who don't have any diseases can have as much anal sex as they wish.
You're fixated on the act and are ignoring the actual cause of disease: Infectious agents. If the infectious agent is not present, then no act can make it appear.

So far, all you've done is spout hysteria
I'm completely calm
I didn't say you were screaming. I said you were spouting hysteria. One can calmly say, "A gigantic meteor is coming. You should consider evacutating the area," and yet that's still spouting hysteria when there isn't any threat.
Your claim that condoms are ineffective (and yet hypocritically admitting that they are over 90% effective in preventing pregnancy...you can't have it both ways, NJ) is naught but hysteria. Your claim that anal sex is physically traumatic and leads to no end of disease is hysteria.
quote:
Its one thing to challenge the claim, but its another to be so incensed that frothy spittle accumulates on the screen.
Indeed. That must be why I keep having to clean myself off whenever one of your posts appears on the screen. The amount of bile and invective spewed forth is amazing. That you attempt to deliver it as if you were Mary Poppins with what you think is a spoonful of sugar doesn't change the fact that you're spouting shit.
quote:
Settle down big guy.
Sweetie, honey, baby, pussycat, you haven't seen me upset. Believe me, when I get angry at you, you'll know. You're assuming that I'm emotionally invested in you and to put it as nicely as I can, you just aren't that important. Now, I can't stop you from taking every little thing that anybody says personally, but please try to understand that I really don't care about you.
