Memo To A Politician: UR DOIN IT RONG
Somebody really needs to give New Hampshire State Representative Nancy Elliot a quick course on the purposes, means, and procedures for fulfilling anal sex. Because this is what she thinks about it (yes, there is video):
“We’re talking about taking the penis of one man and putting it in the rectum of another man and wriggling it around in excrement.”
Or, maybe somebody should tell her she just needs a good facial?

I want to express a few comments here:
1. ErosBlog, which I have been reading for 3-4 years is occasionally showing some gay interest in a few of the postings and pictures. I am a proud heterosexual who is a fan of your site, but aren’t there plenty of “gay-oriented” sites for people who take interest in man-on-man stuff.
2. The lady in your link is absolutely correct in describing very graphically what 75% of the male gay population do. And not all of them wear condoms.
3. The exposure of gay culture, graphic photos, gay-centric views to fifth graders is going too far. Fortunately there are some public servants who are not afraid to stand up to the teachers union and the gay lobby! Our kids don’t need or benefit from graphic sexuality, hetero or homo.
#1: You say that like it’s a bad thing.
Actually, and more seriously, you’re incorrect. I’d dispute that this blog “is occasionally showing some gay interest.” However, sometimes when I see “man on man stuff” I can tell it’s pretty damned hot — not maybe to me, but to somebody. So I blog about it. Being a straight boy, this is fairly rare. But it happens, and I don’t let it trouble me when it does.
#2: The “lady in my link” is NOT absolutely correct, and neither, sir, are you. For starters, if you were to read any good treatise on anal sex — and I’ve linked to several — you would discover that “excrement” is often, perhaps even usually, not present in the rectum during anal sex. But that’s almost beside the point. You have also made up a statistic about the sexual habits of a population about which you are largely ignorant. A ruder man than myself might even be tempted to say you pulled that statistic out of your own ass. And even that is beside the point. My mockery is not based on her imaginative mis-description of the physical deeds performed, but on her obvious utter failure to grasp the motivations, intentions, and pleasures of the performers. A failure, it would seem, that you share.
#3: Last but not least, who is talking about discussing excrement-wiggling with fifth graders? Nancy Elliot, maybe; nobody else. Same with “graphic sexuality”, gay or straight. Nobody serious is for that, except to the extent that it’s necessary for age-appropriate sex education, which is something that every school district in America struggles with defining. But there’s nothing wrong with including the basics of gay sex into basic sex education, at whatever time a community has decided that’s appropriate and necessary. If only because, if you don’t do that, you aren’t doing it (sex education, this time) right.
Oh, yeah, and I forgot to mention. You do know that not all anal sex is gay sex, right? Women have perfectly functional rectums, and heterosexual couples “wiggle it around” all the time.
The Representative doth protest too much. Anyone who goes on at length (in public, let’s not forget) about something in such graphic detail has more than a little interest in it.
As gross as this thought is, it makes one wonder (for only a second) about Ms. Elliots masturbation fantasies.

This sort of reminds me of the limit on sex toys we used to have in Texas. Anyone caught with more than three was considered a distributer and was fined. Why three? Because at some point, some state legislator said something like “well, there are only three possible places to put those things at one time.” Note the heterosexual assumption.
Oh, and B. John, some of us heterosexuals like the man-on-man stuff. I notice you didn’t say much about the woman-on-woman stuff that pops up every once in awhile. Double standard, much?
Lee, thanks for helping to make my point. When I link to a couple of naked men wrestling, I don’t even have a fixed intention about who is supposed to enjoy it.
I mean, sure. On one level, it’s gay porn. I dunno whether it would exist in a world without gay men. But I don’t go around thinking “OK, this is for the gay men who read ErosBlog, I hope everybody else is hiding their eyes!” I know (or hope I do) that somebody is going to enjoy it, and that’s all I really care about.
My idealized ErosBlog reader is cool enough to enjoy what they like, and click past the rest with a “Meh, not my day” attitude. I’m lucky to have lots of readers like that.
From time to time somebody tells me some version of “I like X but I don’t like Y, there’s lots of other sites that do Y, why don’t you stick to X?” But my attitude is, this blog has always been generalist in approach. We do W,X,Y,Z, and some Greek letters too. We are, literally, more catholic than the Pope. If anything bothers me, it’s the extent to which my own fairly mundane sexual interests limit my ability to find and share a broader spectrum of erotic stuff. Narrowing the scope simply ain’t on my agenda.
Goodness gracious. I shouldn’t be shocked by politicians any more, I know, but I want to throttle that woman. The ironic thing is that having some sex ed herself could have educated her on basic facts about anal sex- facts dealing with anatomy, say, and how feces are actually stored in our colon, not the rectum.
Good on you, Bacchus, for doing W, X, Y, and Z. As a pansexual chick who loves some gay male content, I’ve learned to get used to the segregation of my desires- straight sites for straight and lesbian(ish) things, gay sites for boy-on-boy stuff. It makes sites that cater to everybody and anybody, like yours, stand out all the more (not to mention that for a straight guy to be doing it is even better). I seriously don’t understand the entitlement you must need to feel to try and dictate what’s represented on someone else’s free website that you personally visit . . . I can almost see it now- “Dear Google, you turned up a gay picture in my ‘blowjob’ search on Googld Images, you should make a Gay Images Search so I don’t have to see that.”
my reaction to her statements about ‘wriggling around in excrement’ was “why is there so much talk about using enemas beforehand and lots of lube during then?” I think some people just react for the sake of reacting and don’t really care about the facts, they just enjoy being horrified. And as has been mentioned, it’s not as if only men have anal sex with other men, many men who date women like to have anal sex as well, and I’m told (although I’ve yet to have a relationship with one) that many women enjoy having anal sex with men and/or women.
And are sexual habits Really the most important point when talking about gay marriage? What about lesbians, is she against scissoring as well? What about pegging? I hope lots of people in the state that she lives in thought “that woman is Just a little nuts” and voiced their support for reason and equal rights.
People being married is good for the economy, their lives tend to be more stable, they are more productive, they can raise children (adopted or genetically their own) thus boosting future production, a True Capitalist would want Everyone married and Every child looked after so they can grow up to be good producers and consumers.
Gee, I thought ErosBlog dealt with ALL manner
of sexual topics. It’s true that some of the
things presented don’t interest me, or sometimes
even gross me out, but I just kind of skip
over those and concentrate on the stuff that
turns me on. Of course, the intelligence and
impartiality with which you bring to each
topic is a big plus, especially in today’s
polarized world.
All,
I am glad no one seems to be favoring showing this stuff to kids! The core point!
The statistic I wrote is an educated guess by an outspoken Gay activist who states that 25% of gay men, in his opinion, do not practive anal sex. I may have read about this in one of the ErosBlog links, or World Sex News, cause that’s as far as I surf in the sex blog world. There is a word which I read on Wiki which refers to a practice where the gays who don’t like anal sex rub their penuses together, in addition to oral sex.
I did not address peripheral topics such as women on women, females receiving anal sex from their male partners or others points ….
You know more about the pre-sex cleanliness practices of gay men than I do. I recognize that human feces does not descend into the rectum region until ready to drop, so I think the Senator (?) was referring to general fecal bacteria. If there is a way to completely sanitize the “rear regions”, I would like to know, because it would make potential gay anal sex a… well, safe-sex, without condoms.
Since you have a far greater exposure to hetero and homosexual data, stories, anecdodal assumptions, can you guess what percentage of gay men use a condom with anal sex 100% of the time?
Finally, Bacchus … Can you answer this objectively questions objectively?? Is their more male-gay photos, images, links to gay sites than there was 4-5 years ago? Your tolerance or interest in some of this aside …
As the Blog developer, you can take this site wherever you wish!

“If there is a way to completely sanitize the “rear regions”, I would like to know, because it would make potential gay anal sex a… well, safe-sex, without condoms.”
I would ask then if there’s a good way to sanitize other places which might be used for sex, like the vagina or mouth (both of which have a bunch of germs). Come near my vagina with anything to completely sanitize it and see what happens…..
B. John, I’m trying to be as nice as I can about this, but you really would benefit from doing a little web research before talking about this stuff in public. Because you’re not coming off very well in front of this crowd. You don’t appear to understand the subject you’re concerned about.
“If there is a way to completely sanitize the “rear regions”, I would like to know, because it would make potential gay anal sex a… well, safe-sex, without condoms.”
Although there are modest health concerns any time people come into contact with fecal bacteria, the reason people use condoms for anal sex has almost nothing to do with that. It has much more to do with the exchange of bodily fluids (semen and blood, since small tears in fragile rectal tissue can happen, and the penis can get abraded sometimes). Can it really be that you are opining on this subject without even knowing what it is that makes unsafe sex unsafe?
“Can you guess what percentage of gay men use a condom with anal sex 100% of the time?”
No. And neither can you, which was sort of my point.
“Is their [on ErosBlog] more male-gay photos, images, links to gay sites than there was 4-5 years ago?”
Gosh, I sure hope so; it would mean I’m getting less uptight. But, you know, I don’t really think so. I’ve been linking to BJ’s Land since the first week I started the blog, and it doesn’t get any dicks-in-your-face gayer than that.
Bacchus, thanks for taking on B. John Elliot — It sounds like he has serious issues. I appreciate how well you are addressing his comments.
Meanwhile Representative Nancy Elliot — I can’t even begin to decide what to say about her…
Dear B. John,
Actually, I am personally in favor of allowing kids to read, hear, see, and be told more and more about sex and sexual activities and safety.
If you and Rep. Elliot are any indication, everyone could use a lot more sexual awareness.
And when you think about it, sex is such a simple, silly thing. Why all the uptight bruhaha? As enjoyable distractions and hobbies go, other pastimes have just as many safety issues. Why single out sexuality for all this strange, special treatment?
I agree with Justin – it often seems to me that many people enjoy being horrified, and for that, they need something to be horrified about. Sex is the taboo that fulfills it, and being uneducated and horrified about it perpetuates it as a taboo for generations.
I would be happy to see the taboos all disappear, and let kids learn about sex like cooking or racecar driving, as just another amongst the litany of odd thing humans do, and need to do safely. No need to be shocked, confused or horrified.
