KINSEY LEGACY
A recent study shows that condom effectiveness in preventing the human papilloma virus is limited. The authors of the study followed 603 female Washington State University students between 1990 and 2000 at four-month intervals. At each visit a nurse practitioner administered a face-to-face interview and a standardized pelvic exam and collected DNA samples for analysis. Investigators concluded that “the present study showed that the incidence of genital HPV associated with acquisition of a new sex partner is high and that risk of infection is especially high if a partner has been known for less than eight months and if a partner reports having had sex with other partners. Oral HPV infection is rare and not clearly associated with oral-penile contact. Genital HPV infection in virginal women seems to be rare, but non-penetrative sexual contact is a plausible route of transmission.” (Condoms only protect a small part of the body)
RESULTS OF SODOMY
A physician describes one of the many complications
Editor’s note: In light of the current Lawrence v. Texas case, in which the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether Texas (or any state) has the right to prohibit homosexual sodomy, we convey the following.
Warning: uncomfortable subject matter.
Gay men who practice anoreceptive intercourse [being the receiving "bottom" during anal sodomy] may develop an acute fissure from direct injury ... Most often men who have had anal intercourse have already stretched their sphincter (I'm sure you can figure out how) and spasm is rarely present. The fissure usually will heal if the surgeon removes the scar tissue and closes the tear with a few stitches. Keep this in mind if a surgeon tells you a sphincterotomy is necessary. In this instance, you might be placing yourself at a higher risk for incontinence because your sphincter is already loose. You can always go back for a sphincterotomy if your fissure doesn't heal after simple closure.
