MEDICAL CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT HOMOSEXUALS DO
By Paul Cameron, Ph.D.
Dr. Cameron is Chariman of the Family Research Institute of Colorado
Springs, Colorado USA.
____________________________________
Throughout history, all civilizations had all major religions have
condemned homosexuality._1_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) In the American
colonies, homosexual acts were a capital offense. Thomas
Jefferson said that homosexuality "should be punished, if a man, by
castration, if a woman, by cutting through the cartilage of her nose a hole of
one-half inch in diameter as least._2_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) Until 1961
homosexual acts were illegal throughout
America.
Gays claim that the "prevailing attitude toward homosexuals in the U.S. and
many other countries is revulsion and hostility....for acts and desires
not harmful to anyone."_3_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) The American
Psychological Association and the American Public
Health Association assured the U.S. Supreme Court in 1986 that "no significant
data show that engaging in...oral and anal sex, results in mental or
physical dysfunction."_4_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references)
What Homosexuals Do
The major surveys on homosexual behavior are summarized below. Two things
stand out 1) homosexuals behave similarly world-over, and 2) as Harvard
Medical Professor, Dr. William Haseltine,_33_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) noted in 1993, the
"changes in sexual behavior
that have been reported to have occurred in some groups have proved, for the
most part, to be transient. For example, bath houses and sex clubs in many
cities have either reopened or were never closed."

ORAL SEX Homosexuals fellate almost all of their sexual contacts (and
ingest semen from about half of these). Semen contains many of the germs
carried in the blood. Because of this, gays who practice oral sex verge on
consuming raw human blood, with all its medical risks. Since the penis often
has
tiny lesions (and often will have been in unsanitary places such as a
rectum), individuals so involved may become infected with hepatitis A or
gonorrhea (and even HIV and hepatitis B). Since many contacts occur between
strangers (70% of gays estimated that they had had sex only once with over half
of their partners_17,27_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) ), and gays average
somewhere between 106 and 1105 different
partners/year, the potential for infection is considerable.
RECTAL SEX Surveys indicate that about 90% of gays have engaged in rectal
intercourse, and about two-thirds do it regularly. In a 6-month long study
of daily sexual diaries,_3_ (http://www.biblebelievers
.com/Cameron2.html#references) gays averaged 110 sex partners and 68 rectal
encounters a year.
Rectal sex is dangerous. During rectal intercourse the rectum becomes a
mixing bowl for 1) saliva and its germs and/or an artificial lubricant, 2) the
recipient's own feces, 3) whatever germs, infections or substances the
penis has on it, and 4) the seminal fluid of the inserter. Since sperm readily
penetrate the rectal wall (which is only one cell thick) causing
immunologic damage, and tearing or bruising of the anal wall is very common
during
anal/penile sex, these substances gain almost direct access to the blood
stream. Unlike heterosexual intercourse (in which sperm cannot penetrate the
multilayered vagina and no feces are present),_7_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) rectal intercourse
is probably the most
sexually efficient way to spread hepatitis B, HIV syphilis and a host of other
blood-borne diseases.
Tearing or ripping of the anal wall is especially likely with "fisting,"
where the hand and arm is inserted into the rectum. It is also common when
"toys" are employed (homosexual lingo for objects which are inserted into the
rectum--bottles, carrots, even gerbils_8_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) ). The risk of
contamination and/or having to wear
a colostomy bag from such "sport" is very real. Fisting was apparently so
rare in Kinsey's time that he didn't think to talk about it. By 1977, well
over a third of gays admitted to doing it. The rectum was not designed to
accommodate the fist, and those who do so can find themselves consigned to
diapers for life.
FECAL SEX About 80% of gays (see Table) admit to licking and/or inserting
their tongues into the anus of partners and thus ingesting medically
significant amounts of feces. Those who eat or wallow in it are probably at
even
greater risk. In the diary study,_5_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) 70% of the gays had
engaged in this activity--half
regularly over 6 months. Result? --the "annual incidence of hepatitis A
in...homosexual men was 22 percent, whereas no heterosexual men acquired
hepatitis
A." In 1992,_26_ (http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references)
it was noted that the proportion of London gays engaging in oral/anal sex
had not declined since 1984.
While the body has defenses against fecal germs, exposure to the fecal
discharge of dozens of strangers each year is extremely unhealthy. Ingestion of
human waste is the major route of contracting hepatitis A and the enteric
parasites collectively known as the Gay Bowel Syndrome. Consumption of
feces has also been implicated in the transmission of typhoid fever,_9_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) herpes, and
cancer._27_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) About 10% of gays
have eaten or played with [e.g., enemas, wallowing in feces]. The San
Francisco Department of Public Health saw 75,000 patients per year, of whom 70
to 80 per cent are homosexual men....An average of 10 per cent of all
patients and asymptomatic contacts reported...because of positive fecal samples
or cultures for amoeba, giardia, and shigella infections were employed as
food handlers in public establishments; almost 5 per cent of those with
hepatitis A were similarly employed."_10_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) In 1976, a rare
airborne scarlet fever broke out among
gays and just missed sweeping through San Francisco._10_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) The U.S. Centers for
Disease
Control reported that 29% of the hepatitis A cases in Denver, 66% in New York,
50% in San Francisco, 56% in Toronto, 42% in Montreal and 26% in Melbourne in
the first six months of 1991 were among gays._11_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) A 1982 study
"suggested that some
transmission from the homosexual group to the general population may have
occurred."_12 _ (http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references)
URINE SEX About 10% of Kinsey's gays reported having engaged in "golden
showers" [drinking or being splashed with urine]. In the largest survey of
gays ever conducted,_13_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) 23% admitted to
urine-sex. In the largest random survey of gays,_6_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) 29% reported
urine-sex. In a San Francisco study of 655 gays,_14_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) only 24% claimed to
have been monogamous in
the past year. Of these monogamous gays, 5% drank urine, 7% practiced
"fisting," 33% ingested feces via anal/oral contact, 53% swallowed semen, and
59%
received semen in their rectum during the previous month.
OTHER GAY SEX PRACTICES
SADOMASOCHISM as the Table indicates, a large minority of gays engage in
torture for sexual fun. Sex with minors 25% of white gays_17_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) admitted to sex with
boys 16 or
younger as adults. In a 9-state study,_30_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) 33% of the 181 male,
and 22% of the 18 female
teachers caught molesting students did so homosexually (though less than 3% of
men and 2% of women engage in homosexuality_31_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) ). Depending on the
study, the percent of
gays reporting sex in public restrooms ranged from 14%_16_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) to 41%_13_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) to 66%,_6_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) 9%_16_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) , 60%_13 _
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) and 67%_5_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) reported sex in gay
baths; 64%_16_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) and 90%_18_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) said that they used
illegal drugs.
Fear of AIDS may have reduced the volume of gay sex partners, but the
numbers are prodigious by any standard. Morin_15_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) reported that 824
gays had lowered their
sex-rate from 70 different partners/yr. in 1982 to 50/yr. by 1984.
McKusick_14_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) reported declines
from 76/yr. to 47/yr. in 1985. In Spain_32 _
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) the average was 42/yr.
in 1989.
Medical Consequences of Homosexual Sex
Death and disease accompany promiscuous and unsanitary sexual activity.
70%25 to 78%x,_13_ (http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references)
of gays reported having had a sexually transmitted disease. The proportion
with intestinal parasites (worms, flukes, amoeba) ranged from 25%_18_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) to 39%_19_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) to 59%._20_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) As of 1992, 83% of
U.S. AIDS in
whites had occurred in gays._21_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) The Seattle sexual
diary study_3_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) ? reported that gays
had, on a yearly average:
1. fellated 108 men and swallowed semen from 48;
2. exchanged saliva with 96;
3. experienced 68 penile penetrations of the anus; and
4. ingested fecal material from 19.
No wonder 10% came down with hepatitis B and 7% contracted hepatitis A
during the 6-month study.
Effects on the Lifespan
Smokers and drug addicts don't live as long as non-smokers or non-addicts,
so we consider smoking and narcotics abuse harmful. The typical life-span
of homosexuals suggests that their activities are more destructive than
smoking nd as dangerous as drugs.
Obituaries numbering 6,516 from 16 U.S. homosexual journals over the past
12 years were compared to a large sample of obituaries from regular
newspapers._23 _ (http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) The
obituaries from the regular newspapers were similar to U.S. averages for
longevity; the medium age of death of married men was 75, and 80% of them died
old
(age 65 or older). For unmarried or divorced men the median age of death
was 57, and 32% of them died old. Married women averaged age 79 at death; 85%
died old. Unmarried and divorced women averaged age 71, and 60% of them
died old.
The median age of death for homosexuals, however, was virtually the same
nationwide--and, overall, less than 2% survived to old age. If AIDS was the
cause of death, the median age was 39. For the 829 gays who died of
something other than AIDS, the median age of death was 42, and 9% died old.
The 163
lesbians had a median age of death of 44, and 20% died old.
Two and eight-tenths percent (2.8%) of gays died violently. They were 116
times more apt to be murdered; 24 times more apt to commit suicide; and had
a traffic-accident death-rate 18 times the rate of comparably-aged white
males. Heart attacks, cancer and liver failure were exceptionally common.
Twenty percent of lesbians died of murder, suicide, or accident--a rate 487
times higher than that of white females aged 25-44. The age distribution of
samples of homosexuals in the scientific literature from 1989 to 1992
suggests a similarly shortened life-span.
The Gay Legacy
Homosexuals rode into the dawn of sexual freedom and returned with a plague
that gives every indication of destroying most of them. Those who treat
AIDS patients are at great risk, not only from HIV infection, which as of
1992 involved over 100 health care workers,_21_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) but also from TB and
new strains of other
diseases._24_ (http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) Those
who are housed with AIDS patients are also at risk._24_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) Those who are housed
with AIDS patients
are also at risk._24_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) Dr. Max Essex, chair
of the Harvard AIDS Institute, warned congress in
1992 that "AIDS has already led to other kinds of dangerous epidemics...If
AIDS is not eliminated, other new lethal microbes will emerge, and neither
safe sex nor drug free practices will prevent them."_28_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) At least 8, and
perhaps as many as
30 _29_ (http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) patients
had been infected with HIV by health care workers as of 1992.
The Biological Swapmeet
The typical sexual practices of homosexuals are a medical horror story
--imagine exchanging saliva, feces, semen and/or blood with dozens of different
men each year. Imagine drinking urine, ingesting feces and experiencing
rectal trauma on a regular basis. Often these encounters occur while the
participants are drunk, high, and/or in an orgy setting. Further, many of them
occur in extremely unsanitary places (bathrooms, dirty peep shows), or,
because homosexuals travel so frequently, in other parts of the world.
Every year, a quarter or more of homosexuals visit another country._20_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) Fresh American germs
get taken to Europe, Africa and Asia. And fresh pathogens from these
continents come here. Foreign homosexuals regularly visit the U.S. and
participate in this biological swapmeet.
The Pattern of Infection
Unfortunately the danger of these exchanges does not merely affect
homosexuals. Travelers carried so many tropical diseases to New York City that
it
had to institute a tropical disease center, and gays carried HIV from New
York City to the rest of the world._27_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) Most of the 6,349
Americans who got AIDS from
contaminated blood as of 1992, received it from homosexuals and most of the
women
in California who got AIDS through heterosexual activity got it from men who
engaged in homosexual behavior._23_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references) The rare form of
airborne scarlet fever that stalked San
Francisco in 1976 also started among homosexuals._10_
(http://www.biblebelievers.com/Cameron2.html#references)
Genuine Compassion
Society is legitimately concerned with health risks-- they impact our taxes
and everyone's chances of illness and injury. Because we care about them,
smokers are discouraged from smoking by higher insurance premiums, taxes on
cigarettes and bans against smoking in public. These social pressures
cause many to quit. They likewise encourage non-smokers to stay non-smokers.
Homosexuals are sexually troubled people engaging in dangerous activities.
Because we care about them and those tempted to join them, it is important
that we neither encourage nor legitimize such a destructive lifestyle.
