there are more Mother Theresas out there than bad ones

Let's sincerely hope not, eh? See Shattering the Myth of Mother Teresa etc.

It strikes me as a strange and unnatural thing to do

The wonderful thing about Humanity is that we are, out of necessesity, both STRANGE and UNNATURAL. Trumpets are both STRANGE & UNNATURAL; steam engines, Large Hadron Colliders and TV sets likewise. Do we find 'em growing on trees? I think not! So all our works are STRANGE and UNNATURAL, which is why we're able to talk to each other across the ether on Mudcat, which is a pretty STRANGE and UNNATURAL thing to do too. We are The Transfiguring Alchemists of Nature - able to tranform the mineral deposits of a billion years into the strings on your guitar or the alloys of your penny whistle; we butcher GOATS and chop down TREES just so you can play your BODHRANS. So, by the same token I'd say ANAL SEX is no more STRANGE or UNNATURAL than any other sort of sex. SEX is primarily about PLEASURE; actual PROCREATION is, at best a RANDOM BY-PRODUCT of a procedure which is, nevertheless, the reason why we're on this planet in the first place. And for all you BIBLE FREAKS out there who feel ANAL SEX in ANY CONTEXT is AN ABOMINATION AGAINST THE LORD, or NATURE, then check out SONG OF SONGS, Chapter 5 Verse 4, King James, in which such an act is desbribed with delicious consequence. How SCAT is that? UNNATURAL? Damn right it's UNNATURAL - everything we are is UNNATURAL and for that fact alone let us be truly thankful.

Here endeth the lesson.

Connubialis Licentia exsisto vobis!
Amen.
