The second of the three traditions of the Royal Navy proves otherwise.
The New American - A Question of Morality - June 8, 1998 Dr. Edward R. Annis, a distinguished medical doctor and a past president of the American Medical Association, writes in his book Code Blue: Health Care in Crisis (1993) that, "The anus and rectum are not sexual organs; they are the drainpipe of the body’s sewer. Anyone foolish enough to play in a sewer can expect unhealthy consequences."
And, as one would expect, extreme unhealthiness is exactly the consequence of the homosexual mode of life. Consider, for example, findings Dr. Cameron published in his book, The Gay Nineties (1993), that 73 percent of the male population as a whole lives to age 65, while a mere nine percent of male homosexuals live to that age. To put it another way, the average life span in America is approximately 75, yet for a homosexual with AIDS it is only 39, and for one without AIDS, it is 42 years.
Homosexuality was officially classified as a form of mental sickness by psychologists and psychiatrists for over a century. In December 1973, however, the American Psychiatric Association, under intense pressure from homosexual radicals, reclassified it so that it was no longer regarded as a disorder. Since no new research justified such a decision, it is clear that the change was essentially a political move motivated by political considerations. Dr. Melvin Anchell, in the March 17, 1986 issue of The New American, commented that the APA decision was "in total contradiction to psychoanalytic precepts that have been repeatedly substantiated by clinicians for the past 100 years." Moreover, Dr. Anchell goes on to note, "It is a psychological fact — ‘when the normal life-sustaining sexual instincts are perverted, the death instincts take over.’" So it is that homosexuals lead highly unstable, violent lives that often result in early deaths.
a) "Natural" is not determined by what you want sexually, but by how you function sexually.
1. The body was built to function a specific way.
2. Men were not built to function sexually with men.
b) Natural desires go with natural functions. The passion that exchanges the natural function of sex for the unnatural function is what Paul calls a degrading passion.
c) Jesus clarified the natural, normal relationship:
1. Matthew 19:4-5 "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh [sexual intercourse].'?"
2. The desire is unnatural because it abandons the natural function.
a. Extramarital heterosexual sex is wrong because it exploits a natural function in an immoral way.
b. Homosexuality is worse because it's an immoral act based on the perversion of a natural function.
Richard Wetzel, M.D. States - "Genital anal intercourse is the sex act most often associated with the gay lifestyle. It is an accepted norm among essentially all gay, yet it is unhealthy, it is unnatural, and most people consider it to be offensive. Anal sex is unhealthy. Aside from sexually transmitted diseases, these acts lead to many other medical conditions including Gay Bowel Syndrome, hepatitis A, unusual infections of the epididymis, and other disorders of the anus and surrounding muscles such as fissures. Homosexuals who practice anal intercourse are as much as eighty-four times more likely to develop anal cancer than the general population." "Anal sex is unnatural. It obviously is traumatic to the anus, which simply is not made to accommodate the male organ. Not only does the anus have no natural lubrication, but it is clearly the wrong size for genital contact. As evidence of this, consider the difference in size of the speculum and the anoscope. The speculum, which the physician places inside the woman during a gynecological exam, is roughly the size and shape of the erect male organ. The anoscope, used to examine the anus, is half the diameter of the speculum - more similar in size to an adult forefinger. Any physician who would be foolish enough to attempt to examine a patient's anus with a speculum would quickly realize how unpopular that move would be."
"The act of anal sex is analogous to cleaning excrement from a bedpan with one's bare hands. Feces is unhealthy to handle and can lead to illness. Furthermore, gay sexual behaviors often go well beyond anal intercourse. For example, most gays actually put fingers and hands into each others' anuses and touch each others' anuses with their mouths and tongues."
