let's be banal about anal, shall we?

Under an umbrella cloud of monkey shit. We shall prevail.

I dunno where that came from, it was inspired. Mostly by the fucked up thing I call a brain. Whatever, it was memorable and thus I have put it here in my pile of mental mementos.

Anyway, on with the show. I recently had a discussion about anal sex with someone. The discussion was absurd and revolved around gay men and how being someone that "does the anal sex thing" is the real definer of who is really gay and who is not. Unfortunately, it was an online discussion, thus I couldn't give my patented "look of utter disgust and absolute disdain" to said person. What really threw me for a loop was that he was quite convinced that he was correct and that men that partake in anal intercourse are really the only gay ones... others are clearly not really gay. Definitely the most ridiculous discussion I've had with anyone in ages. I brought up several points that I thought were pretty much valid in saying anal sex has nothing to do with what makes one gay or not. Said person was unconvinced.

Forthwith, I summon to mind the simple fact that lots of hetero couples (and singles I guess...) enjoy anal sex, both men and women. I also bring to mind several gay men I know who do not like or partake in anal sex, but they are most certainly gay... ask their boyfriends and/or partners.

In summary, the conversation ended with me saying "You're being an idiot, grow up." Not the most political of ways to end a conversation, but fuck it... blinders are for horses, not humans.
