david f,

Pulling wings off flies is a source of pleasure for some people but others would call it a perversion.

Paul,
No I don't see it as warfare and yes the old class system is no different to the new class system, it is the way of things, the working classes and the middle classes need each other and the differences of opinion disappear as soon as someone's toilet is blocked of their front room needs painting.
Politics in general is a middle class pursuit and the concept of noblesse obligé should, and in the main does still keep the bourgeoisie from abusing their power.
Gay marriage is a trivial issue, what could we expect based on the overseas experience, maybe 500-1000 people a year to enter into same sex marriages with a 15% divorce rate?

david f, "What is called a perversion to some is a source of pleasure to others. If you don't care for a particular expression of sex don't do it. ...don't tell others what to do"

You might not want to inform others of risks but the State has a responsibility to do so.

The State should not be encouraging nor implying that practices that are harmful are OK. No responsible doctor should be advising anal sex. That would be against medical ethics. Rather it would be a case of advising against it and giving reasons. Where it is apparent that it is occurring anyhow, the further ethical responsibility is to very strongly advise, among other things, that condoms be used, strictly.

It is apparent for example, that 'bare-backing' (gay slang) is popular among gays who are into risky sex and is largely responsible for the increase in HIV. Also for the jump of HIV to young heterosexual women with childbearing futures, from sex with bisexuals, particularly bisexuals who do not declare their risks sex to their female sex partner.

The government's chief doctor and the health department should be proactive in advising young women of the risks and that they DO NOT have to go along with demands for anal sex and other risky sex.

There should be a legal requirement for male bisexuals to declare to their prospective female sex partner any prior history of sex with men BEFORE having sex with them. It puts her health and that of any future children at serious risk. The woman must NOT be denied such information.

Dear Is Mise,

I wish you would read my posts carefully. My first sentence:

"Of course a sexual practice should only be carried on if all parties are in agreement."

A butterfly cannot agree to having its wings pulled off. A child cannot give informed agreement.

Dear onthebeach,

I agree with your post. People should be informed of risks.

Beach, you finally make a reasonable and sensible post without all that Marxist nonsense thrown in.

People should always be informed of health risks, like the ones you describe.

Dear otb,

Best post from you yet.
Congratulations!
