Health risks that corelate with regular gay sex according to GROK

 Anal sex:

Tissue Damage and Injury: The anal tissue is delicate and lacks the natural lubrication of the vagina, making it prone to tearing or abrasions. Repeated trauma can lead to fissures, hemorrhoids, or chronic pain. Over time, this may weaken the anal sphincter, potentially causing incontinence, though evidence on significant sphincter damage from consensual anal sex is mixed and not conclusive for most people.

Increased STI Risk: Anal sex has a higher risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HPV due to the thin rectal lining, which is more susceptible to microtears that allow pathogens to enter the bloodstream. Consistent condom use significantly reduces this risk, but it’s not foolproof. HPV, linked to anal cancer, is a particular concern, especially without vaccination.

Infections: Bacterial infections, such as those from E. coli or other fecal bacteria, can occur if hygiene isn’t prioritized. This includes urinary tract infections or, in rare cases, abscesses. Enemas or improper cleaning methods can also disrupt the rectal environment, increasing infection risk.

Anal Cancer: Long-term anal sex, particularly with HPV exposure, correlates with a higher risk of anal cancer, though this is rare. The risk is higher in populations like MSM (men who have sex with men) due to higher HPV prevalence, but it’s not exclusive to them. Regular screening and HPV vaccination can mitigate this.

Discomfort and Pain: Without proper lubrication or relaxation, regular anal sex can cause chronic discomfort or pain, sometimes leading to psychological aversion or sexual dysfunction. Using adequate water-based or silicone-based lubricants and pacing activities reduces this risk.

 STIs: Oral sex can transmit infections such as herpes (HSV), gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and human papillomavirus (HPV). HIV transmission is less common but possible, especially if there are cuts, sores, or bleeding gums. HPV is notable for its link to throat and mouth cancers, particularly from high-risk strains.

And oral sex:

Bacterial Infections: Less commonly, bacteria like Treponema pallidum (syphilis) or Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea) can infect the throat, sometimes without obvious symptoms.

Oral Health Factors: Pre-existing oral wounds, gum disease, or poor hygiene can increase susceptibility to infections during oral sex.

Other Risks: Rare cases of gastrointestinal infections (e.g., from fecal-oral contact in specific practices) or allergic reactions (e.g., to semen or lubricants) have been noted.

Examining Darwinian hagiography

 Darwin’s Sacred Fiction

Andrew McDiarmid

On a classic episode of ID the Future, historian of science Michael Keas concludes a two-part conversation with science-and-religion scholar Robert Shedinger about his research into the writing and work of Charles Darwin. 

In this segment, Professor Shedinger makes the case that a well-known biography of Charles Darwin, Darwin’s Sacred Cause, is deeply misleading. Specifically, the book by Adrian Desmond and James Moore holds that Darwin was significantly motivated in his scientific work by abolitionist sentiments. Shedinger says not so fast. He saw no evidence of this thesis in Darwin’s correspondence. Shedinger reports on the pattern that emerged when he tracked down the key citations and re-read the book. The sources the authors cite didn’t actually support their thesis. Some were totally irrelevant. Some were cited completely out of context. In other cases, the authors stitched together multiple correspondences to give the illusion Darwin was saying something he wasn’t. This popular biography of Darwin was trying to make Darwin seem like a saintly abolitionist. Instead, argues Shedinger, it’s closer to historical fiction than the truth. 

While Darwin did have anti-slavery sentiments, it didn’t drive his science and he himself was anything but free from racism. In fact, his case for human evolution partly rested on deeply demeaning racist attitudes toward indigenous peoples. For more on this, see historian Richard Weikart’s book Darwinian Racism.

Also in this episode, Shedinger tells host Michael Keas about how he went from a scholar fully persuaded of Darwinian theory to a skeptic of modern evolutionary theory and attracted to the theory of intelligent design. Shedinger lays out his case against Darwinism in his book The Mystery of Evolutionary Mechanisms.
