It has come to my attention that there are some misconceptions about anal sex which I would like to clear up. Anal sex is not gay sex. A straight couple having anal sex isn't having gay sex, they are having ANAL sex. Just like the use of penetration between a lesbian couple isn't straight sex and no penetration between a straight couple isn't lesbian sex. It's SEX. Some of it is kinky and some of it is vanilla, get over it. Sex is sex is sex.
In The Ticket That Exploded there are men anally penetrating other men, but this doesn't mean that a gay person is going to be any less disturbed by it then a straight person. There are no women in the book as well, does this mean that women are more prone to enjoying the book then men are? No.
The person who finds TTE to be a great read will most likely be someone who can look past what makes them uncomfortable and enjoy the writing style and rich word choice behind it. It will have nothing to do with sexual orientation, gender, or I don't know... whether or not one arm is longer than the other.
Very nice work here. Why did you not bring this up in class?
ReplyDeleteI'm too shy to talk in class
ReplyDeletegood point.
ReplyDeletei think there's a lot of connotation to the word 'gay' that makes it difficult to discuss in an academic setting
sex is sex is sex? i'm confused
perhaps that's alright, sonicyouth after all say confusion IS sex
i really like your blog, e.g. the first TTE post. good work.
CS
your plurk design is also good. i like the colors you chose there and here.
ReplyDeleteI wish i could put this on my bloglist but I don't want a blog that has a last post titled 'anal sex' on my site for obvious reasons. Any chance for an update so I can put your link up?
