As many of you know, we here at WTF are big supporters of freedom to do what you like (again as long as you are not hurting anyone). This belief system not only applies to religion as previous written about, but also applies to what people do in the bedroom. The one thing that really gets me riled up though is when religion and sex mix together in the form of oppression. This was brought up for me recently with the introduction of a new term from my most favorite Dan Savage. Lets do a little background on this term before I put it out there for all to admire. So first off, as written previously there was a huge uproar about Obama asking Rick Warren to do the invocation at the inauguration because he is against LGBT rights, and thus inherently the right of people to do what they like in the bedroom. Second, Rick Warren's church is named Saddleback Church and is on Saddleback Ranch. Third, Rick Warren's church and Christianity in general pushes the belief that lovely ladies should preserve their virginity until marriage. Fourth, this pressure on the lovely ladies who follow the Christian faith has created a new way of preserving a lady's virginity, otherwise known as anal sex, which when done unprotected can lead to all sorts of sexually transmitted diseases.
In reaction to all of these factors, Dan in all of his wonderful wisdom has created a new word, Saddlebacking, which shall forever be known as "the phenomenon of Christian teens engaging in unprotected anal sex in order to preserve their virginities." In a sentence: After attending the Purity Ball, Heather and Bill saddlebacked all night because she's saving herself for marriage. Kudos to you Dan Savage!!! and WTF to putting teens in a position where to satisfy their natural desires they put themselves at risk for STDs to preserve their virginity?
Savage Love in all it's glory

while dan is a hero of mine... and so are you hotstuff... i have to say it was a reader that suggested the contest, a reader that suggested this definition and readers that voted on it... though it is dan that makes such contests possible (and picks the finalists).
this is not intended to detract from dan though. that type of open forum and the willingness of his readers to participate (and have good ideas)... is fabulous.
word! Dan makes it all possible but the readers are the true creators!
I just want to point out that my "word verification" is "facals," a delightful collision of "facials" and "faecal." Neither of which have anything to do with non-vaginal sex.
And while I'm here, it's worth saying that the butt sex itself isn't a problem, I don't think. The problem is that the kids know they're getting off (ha!) on a technicality, and are just as likely as before to do it unsafely, on the dl, with the noted increase in danger. They won't look for information, it won't be offered, and if something goes wrong they'll quietly hope for the best.
