Oh, joy! In case you thought Maggie Gallagher [or any of the Religious Right] was only concerned with gay people and gay sex, think again. Their sex-obsessed weirdness goes so much deeper than that:
“Anal sex is painful, unsanitary, unsatisfying for women, and creates unique risks for serious physical diseases (if you doubt me, go read the Wikipedia entry on the subject) because the anus is not designed for sexual intercourse, increasing the risk of torn flesh and the intermingling of bodily fluids — blood, semen, fecal matter — that can spread an astonishing variety of diseases. The female partner is far more at risk than the man in these encounters. This should be a feminist issue. But women are doing it to please their boyfriends. Because we have created a sexual culture that empowers young males (even as it stunts their incentives to grow to become successful, confident and happy family men) and disempowers women.”
Next time you see Maggie Gallagher and are tempted to ask what’s up her ass, well, I can tell you what’s NOT.
Anyway, as always with sex of that sort, some straight people like it, some gays do not, etc. Normal people don’t tend to be concerned what other couples are doing in the bedroom, as long as it’s all consensual.

Looks like a tactical error. It’s all well and good when you demonize the gays, but now she’s trying to empower women to not be subservient to their menfolk who just want to get their freak on. That’s not going to play well in Peoria!
It sounds like she is talking about anal rape, rather than anal sex when both partners want anal sex.
OMG. Now, Porno Pete’s got his finger in his butt; what is it about these christians, that they’re so obsessed with butt sex ??
Yep, Maggie and Petey sure have lots up their butts to crow about !!
[...] jokes are writing themselves these days, y’all. In response to my post about Maggie Gallagher’s prurient interest in the way even consenting straight people have [...]
“. . . the anus is not designed for sexual intercourse . . .”
These religious nuts are so tiresome. They’re always trying to promote creationism by sneaking in the back door to spew nonsense about “[Intelligent] Design.” Those of us who refuse to be receptive to religious indoctrination know that the anus was not designed, it evolved.
Personal experience has taught me that the anus has evolved quite nicely for sexual purposes. It’s conveniently located, situated at a proper angle, well sized, and endowed with enough nerve endings to provide intense satisfaction. Maggie needs to talk with her doctor to determine why she finds anal sex so painful, or maybe she should just pray about it.
Now, shall we talk about how well the mouth has evolved?
LOL, of course the anus was not “designed.”
But my question to all the “design” people is always “Rilly? If it wasn’t DESIGNED for sex, especially in men, then why did ‘God’ put the male G-spot up there, HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?”
Maggie Gallagher should come out with her own brand of lube.
She could just call it ‘a*****e.’
Then everyone would know who it was by and what it is for.
Shrill anti-gay activist Gallagher is disgusting. Anal sex between anyone is a Privacy Issue. If you don’t like anal sex, don’t have it; otherwise, butt out of it, Maggs!
Typical BS from the RRRW crowd. Buttseks doesn’t make baybees for Jaysus so it’s evil. If they had their way we’d all be the Duggars.
Buffy, what does RRRW mean?
Priya, I asked the same question last October. Buffy didn’t reply, but DaveTheWave speculated that it may mean “Radical Religious Reich Wackos.”
Who really cares what the blimp thinks? If a straight woman wants butt sex, and her partner agrees then that is THEIR business not Maggie’s. Maybe she should think of ways to perk up her own marriage instead of trying to prevent the marriages of those who do not harm her in any way.
Maggie would probably enjoy it more if she had a prostate; it does make a difference. Actually massaging the prostate is a good thing, especially for older men….so instead of a gloved finger, why not use a ‘gloved’ cock and then 2 guys can feel good, improve their health and burn calories at the same time. It’s a win-win.
If someone explains pegging to her, her brain is going to melt.
Richard, I’ve asked Buffy that question a few times and she’s yet to respond. Curiosity has got me so I’m probably going to ask her again if she uses the term in the future.
Im gonna bet that at least one “R” stands for republican, but thats just a guess.
Maggie Gallagher is an idiot. The human body was not “designed.” It is the result of evolution.
Next thing, she will be insisting the Earth is flat.
“conveniently located, situated at a proper angle, well sized, and endowed with enough nerve endings to provide intense satisfaction.”
Applies also to the mouth which was not ‘designed’ for that type of sex either.
If anything is ‘designed’ it is the adaptability of the human species to its environment and the ways in which its physical form (upright walking, opposing thumbs etc) provides many ways in which human thrive and learn in pre-historic as as modern societies. We are not just walking wombs or walking repetacles for spermatoza but that’s where Maggie’s argument takes them. Any purpose or even thought not designed to lead eventually to the possibility of fertilisatuion is a subversion of ‘god’s plan/natural law/yada yada’.
