...Although the AIDS virus is found in several body fluids, a person acquires the virus during sexual contact with an infected person's blood or semen and possibly vaginal secretions . . . Small (unseen by the naked eye) tears in the surface lining of the vagina or rectum may occur during insertion of the penis, fingers or other objects, thus opening an avenue for entrance of the virus directly into the blood stream; therefore, the AIDS virus can be passed from penis to rectum and vagina and vice versa without a visible tear in the tissue or the presence of blood...

...disease begins is something of a mystery. One theory ascribes it to "retrograde menstruation." Instead of flowing down through the cervix and vagina, some menstrual blood and tissue back up through the Fallopian tubes and spill out into the pelvic cavity (see chart). Normally this errant flow is harmlessly absorbed, but in some cases the stray tissue may implant itself outside the uterus and continue to grow. A second theory suggests that the disease arises from misplaced embryonic cells that have lain scattered around the abdominal cavity since birth. When the monthly hormonal cycles begin at puberty, says Dr. Howard...

...Nicaraguan woman from Esteli, in a sworn affadavit, stated, "[the Contras] had gang raped me every day. When my vagina couldn't take it anymore, they raped me through my rectum. I calculate that in 5 days they raped me 60 times." Imagine this woman were your mother, your girlfriend, your sister, or you. Would you support the "right" of these men to speak in an attempt not merely to express their opinion, but to gather public support for money to continue these and other equally ghastly actions? How much more carnage and suffering must we watch before drastic tactics...

Ralph: The Great Traveling Orgasm, my pet. Under the majestic scepter of science, not to mention the cattle prod of sexual politics, the Big O is thrashing about once again. It's gone from vagina to clitoris and now seems headed for the brain and back to the vagina. Before you know it, it will come to rest on the elbow or the pancreas. Ralph's Guide to Sex, as yet unpublished, will advise all ardent males to rub everything once. One never knows where tomorrow's sexual climaxes will be located...

Ralph: Manfully argued, my pet. But let us cast a practiced eye at the politics of orgasm. Freud thought that truly mature women always shift their focus from the clitoris to the vagina, so women who needed clitoral stimulation were made to feel like retards or perverts. The feminists just reversed that. It was a much-loved way of downgrading penis-vagina sex and upgrading masturbation. Soon provagina women had to take to the hills like guerrillas. Clitoral enforcers like Shere Hite were sent out to mop up any remaining opposition: the poor deluded women who said they had vaginal...
