I wonder how much we paid the Guttmacher Institute for this study?

With remarks like this: "If anything, the findings support the need to encourage more teens to delay sexual activity of all kinds, she said" it seems far more likely that they got a nice slice of that foolhardy 'abstinence only' funding of which our current Administration is so fond.

Have to admit tho, it never really occurred to me that young girls would give it up anally to avoid the technical foul of busting their precious little hymens. Someone should inform them that they don't have prostates.

The new study analyzed data collected from a nationally representative sample of 1,150 females and 1,121 males aged 15 to 19 who were questioned in detail in 2002 for the federal government's National Survey of Family Growth.

Gee... nothing like using recent data.

Pale,

Every Woman who I knew who had/enjoyed anal sex, had orgasms.  You didn't do your homework.

Wait a minute. Women have anuses?

Don't be so gullible, Taint.  Of course women don't have anuses; that is a common slander.  We don't need them.

When they do need them, they just marry one.

Quite right, the thin membranes of the lower intestine share many of the same nerve endings as thin membranes of the lower vagina.

Any real gentleman (defined as one who carries his woman around like a six-pack as opposed to dragging her by her hair) can attest to this.

Why do cavemen drag their women around by the hair?





If they dragged them by their feet, they'd fill up with rocks.

It sounds better in the original:

Wasn't it in some old Steven King literary tripe?

At first I didn't know what the hell you were talking about; but yeah, it's in The Stand.  A character who is destined to be the Bride of Evil Guy must remain a virgin for him, but she must also seduce someone, so under Evil Guy's telepathic direction she does every sexual thing under the sun except vaginal.

I wouldn't have commented, but I find it interesting that King comments in the novel on the hypocrisy of this "purity" and ascribes that hypocrisy to the mentality of evil.  He wrote it in the 70s.

Wasn't there a homosexual anal rape with a pistol in the revised version that was released in the 90's?

There was.  According to King, the publisher had a problem, not with the length of the novel so much as with its sheer mass--they told him they'd either have to add, like, $10 to the purchase price or go broke publishing it.  So he cut something like 20,000 words.

The expanded version is superior to the original version...that is, if you like King, and I mostly do.

Carrie was, after all, really about menstruation.

Somewhere in the world there is a very interesting story, in an essay by Harlan Ellison, about the stir caused by the opening scene of the novel among the ranks of copy editors, secretaries, etc. (positions held almost universally by females) in the publishing industry.

According to Ellison, the first pages of the novel were copied and passed around, eventually making their way to other publishing houses--like a pre-Internet virus.  I remember the story from a piece Ellison wrote about Stephen King (he liked him, at least at the time).  I have no idea if it can be found on the webs anywhere.

That opening scene is a powerful piece by an undeniably talented storyteller.  King later claimed that he started Carrie after being challenged by another writer, who said he (King) could not create believable characters because he couldn't convincingly convey the mindset of anyone who isn't a white male.  King took up the challenge by trying to write a teenage girl.
