- In 1992, there is very little "shame" associated with buying a dildo
- or vibrator, especially through the anonymity of mail order. Look, I'm
- a doctor and I've seen a lot worse things than having mayonaise jars
- up people's butts, and I have no reason or desire to deny that some
- people get pleasure that way. I'm not quite a prude, and I was not
- making fun of homosexual people. Statistically, more heterosexual
- individuals and couples engage in anal activities than homosexual
- individuals and couples anyway. Yes, I was making fun of one
- particularly group: stupid people. Not the synapse-impaired type,
- because those people have no choice in the matter, but those lacking
- common sense, which these days appears to be optional equipment. If you
- are going to stick something up your butt, use something designed for
- the purpose.

- Sorry, but in my book, anything is fair game for humor,
- especially the PC types. Not quite everything is society's
- fault. The posting to me sounded like typical PC whining,
- and I love to hate typical PC whining.

- Good grief! Again you misinterpret. The original posting implied that
- what was wrong was denying that certain people got pleasure
- in certain ways. What I was trying to indicate was that the
- pleasure of an activity has nothing to do with its advisability,
- i.e. that denying the pleasure existed was not the issue at all.
- If I had intended to post something bashing homosexuals, I
- would not have made it subtle. I was trying to make fun of
- the way some people think, which obviously, was TOO subtle.

- Ditto my last paragraph. In the future I will try to
- identify humorous and subtle postings with disclaimers,
- so you will not get a headache.

- I'm not afraid at all of assholes. Some people think I am one.
