"A physical perversion now becomes twisted into the perversion of our legal system."

Texas statutes define this perversion as being contact between one person's anal/oral cavities, and another person's genitalia.

But it makes it ckear that heterosexual contact, or rather, heterosexual "deviant sexual intercourse" is perfectly fine.

Do you agree with the Texas law?

First of all, I think there would be great outrage if the state were to try to pass and enforce a ban on heterosexual oral sex, especially since many couples use it as an essential aspect of foreplay.

Secondly, I'm not sure I see any real biological distinction between corresponding types of homosexual and heterosexual sodomy. Homosexual anal sodomy is a very effective method of disease transmission, but I know of no reason heterosexual anal sodomy should be any less so.

Although a ban on anal sex would probably affect homosexual males moreso, and lesbian females far less, than heterosexual people, I think such a ban would probably be more justifiable than a ban on all forms of homosexual sodomy which ignored all forms of heterosexual sodomy. Of course, maybe there are some straight couples who really like anal sex, but to my mind restrictions should be based on the specific activity rather than the sex of the participants.
