Did you know, for example, that while male homosexuality is right out, lesbianism is okay, because it’s not mentioned in the Bible – so threesomes are hunky-dory? Oh, and fisting is God’s will!!!
If I’m being whooshed – and I certainly hope I am! – please forgive me. I’m kind of woozy, I just took a vicodin for a toothache. (Jesus, I almost typed viagra!)
Actually, I just looked at the main page – it seems to describe “saddlebacking” (using anal sex to avoid losing your virginity, a popular method among Christian teens).
Someone put a lot of thought and tortured logic into those interpretations. I wonder how many impressionable women will fall for them? Like my dear old grandmother used to tell me, ‘the devil may quote scripture for his own ends.’
I wish people would forget religion and follow one simple rule: If it feels good, do it.
And yes, the stories are whooshes within a grand whoosh.
“Saddlebacking” used that way is new - Dan Savage, sex columnist with the Savage Love column, had a contest to define the word to protest Rick Warren, the Purpose-Driven Life Pastor who spoke at Obama’s inauguration but had made some anti-gay / gay marriage statements in the past. He is the pastor at Saddleback Church.
Savage did this once before with the word “santorum” - after anti-gay former PA Senator Rick Santorum…it now has a sexual definition, too…
I would actually say that most of it is very literal and reasonable interpretation of the Bible. Not because the Bible actually says any of that, just that the writers of the Bible never particularly considered most of the things that the site advocates, so it didn’t occur to them to ban it.
LouisB I think we need at least two rules. Some fine ones were put forth by Ted “Theodore” Logan and Bill S Preston esquire (Together they are Wyld Stallyns!)
Rule 1- Party On Dudes!
And the important rule two, which you seem to have overlooked
Rule 2- Be Excellent To Each Other!

I wonder what the Talmud has to say on fisting? I know it has opinions on masturbation and anal sex.
