The Heterosexual Agenda: Exposing the Myths
Introduction Heterosexuals have rebelled against the norms that have held civilization together for all of human history. This rebellion has become the defining characteristic of the heterosexual community. Its members have no common language, religion, music, or other typical unifying norm. What heterosexuals have in common is the one thing that makes them different from everyone else — their sexual preference.1 Heterosexuality is becoming increasingly more difficult to ignore. It is being forced upon us through legislation, taught to our children in school and promoted in the powerful arts/entertainment complex. If it is true that heterosexuality has the destructive effects on the individual and society that many believe, then it behooves us to know our enemy and forestall any further advance of heterosexuality by understanding what it is, what the heterosexual community is up to, and how to answer their arguments in the open marketplace of ideas.2 What Heterosexuals Do Heterosexuals would have you believe that the heterosexual lifestyle is perfectly normal. They will tell you that their lifestyle choice should be the benchmark for society. But a closer look shows that their lifestyle isn’t as safe or as desirable as heterosexual militants say it is. Let’s begin with the heterosexual ideal of chastity. Heterosexual women were historically expected to be virgins on their wedding day, but heterosexual men always enjoyed a double standard. When Alfred Kinsey released his book Sexual Behavior and the Human Male in 1948, he found that 83% of 25-year-old men had premarital intercourse.3 But when his companion book on women’s sexual behavior came out in 1953, only 33% of 25-yearThis is a parody. In writing this, I used the same methods that NARTH, Focus on the Family, American Family Association, and many others use to write this “antistraight” tract. And I did this using social science research exactly as they do. The only difference between what I did and what they do is this: I will show you every step of the way exactly what I’m doing. To see how this works, all you have to do is check my references, and you will see extra information in boldface type, information that they will never share about their sources. Each reference citation also indicates the particular step that it follows as outlined in the article, How To Write An Ant-Gay Tract In 15 Easy Steps.

old women had premarital intercourse.4 But things had changed remarkably by 1974, when Redbook magazine conducted a national sex survey of over 100,000 women who represented the mainstream of American life. When that survey revealed that 93% of heterosexual women who married after 1973 had premarital intercourse, the authors triumphantly declared an end to the double standard.5 That Redbook survey was thirty years ago, and today pre-marital sex is probably the worst kept secret in the heterosexual lifestyle, despite heterosexual leaders continuing to talk about the virtues of abstinence until marriage. But heterosexuals are far from abstinent – gay and bisexual men are three times more likely to be abstinent than heterosexual men over a 12-month period.6 When it comes to abstinence, the heterosexual agenda has clearly come up short.

Meanwhile, a parallel study of all gay men over the age of 21 found that they had on average 4.2 partners in their lifetime — even though the range of ages for the gay men surveyed was far wider than those in the straight men’s survey.15 In 2004, a random-sampled poll by ABC News found that heterosexual men had an average of twenty different sexual partners in their lifetime, 39% had sex on the first date, and 15% of men paid for sex at some time in their lives. For single heterosexual men over thirty, more than 30% had paid for sex.16 A 2005 Zogby International poll found that nearly 25% of men and 13% of women had more than twenty-five different partners in their lifetimes.17 Another national survey found that 72% of all men who were married for two years or more admitted to having an extramarital affair.18 Only 55% of college-aged heterosexual men could name all of their past lovers — even though these respondents were still young.19 Sex Toys and Sadism Most drug addicts are on the constant lookout for a new and better high. This often leads them to harder and more dangerous drugs. Many heterosexuals follow the same path by turning away from “normal” sexual practices when they no longer provide the stimulation they are looking for. This leads them to turn to increasingly bizarre and dangerous activity in their constant search of new ways to satisfy their sexual addictions. Twenty percent of women admitted to placing vibrators, phallic objects and other objects in their vaginas.20 And as emergency room doctors can attest, some of these “other objects” can be quite unusual. Examples include fruits and vegetables, bones, billiard balls, thermometers, swizzle sticks, bottles, drinking glasses, salt shakers, television
Heterosexuals indulge in all sorts of practices that go far beyond penile-vaginal contact. Redbook revealed that 90% of heterosexual women engaged in oral-penile contact, and these women reported that their sexual partners were just as eager to perform oral-vaginal contact.7 More recently, a survey of heterosexual college students showed that 95% to 98% admitted to having had oral sex.8 Another survey of heterosexual men of all ages showed that more than 95% had experienced oral-penile sex, and 96% engaged in oralvaginal contact.9 But it’s not just oral sex. Militant heterosexual researcher Paul Cameron conducted a survey that found 36% of all men who behaved heterosexually engaged in anal intercourse with women, and 20% of women who behaved heterosexually reported anal sex with men.10 Another survey showed that 53% of men have experienced rectal penetration during sex, (i.e., by a finger, vibrator, or tongue), — 56% of that group did it regularly — and another 9% wanted to try it.11 Half of the women who participated in the Redbook survey had experienced anal sex.12 In terms of absolute numbers, approximately seven times more women than gay men engage in unprotected receptive anal intercourse.13 Sexual Obsession Heterosexuals are clearly obsessed with sex. It’s the only thing separating them from everyone else. They single-handedly invented the sexual revolution with the introduction of “the pill,” and heterosexual promiscuity has become the hallmark of that sex-obsessed lifestyle ever since. According to one nationally representative study, heterosexual men aged 20 to 39 had on average 7.3 sexual partners in their still-young lifetimes.14

tubes, wooden shoetrees, pencils, vibrators,21 dolls,22 even a perfume bottle and its cap.23 One 41-year-old woman was drinking with her boyfriend when they decided to experiment with a potato. She had to go to the emergency room to have it removed from her vagina. Another 30year-old woman was admitted so that a cap from a family-size bottle of hair mousse could be removed.24 A 44-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency room complaining of a greenish vaginal discharge. Doctors discovered a size AA Duracell battery in her vagina. It had been there so long it had corroded and started to leak. Another woman was admitted complaining of discomfort and a whitish discharge. After a brief examination, doctors found and removed a deodorant stick. That woman was 32 weeks pregnant!25 This compulsion towards new sexual experiences has made bondage and torture sex a growing part of the heterosexual lifestyle. One survey of heterosexual college students found 38% of men and 31% of women participated in bondage during sex, while 43% of men and 33% of women engaged in spanking as part of sex.26 Enthusiasts can even attend conventions and workshops, where they can learn about bondage “safety”, harnessing, vaginal fisting, and “sacred sexuality and cutting” (which can include a “demonstration of cutting with a life subject”).27 A Detroit-area hotel finally cancelled a two-day bondage conference and workshop after locals voiced outrage over such a public display.28
Polyamory And The Slippery Slope Some of this sexual addiction has reached a fevered pitch. Swinging, or wife-swapping, has become increasingly popular, especially among younger heterosexuals where “polyamory” has achieved a cosmopolitan caché.29 According to militant heterosexual Paul Cameron, 22% of heterosexual men had participated in a threesome, orgy, or group sex.30 One group of swingers known as the Lifestyles Organization drew more than 3,000 wifeswappers from all over the world to their annual conference in Las Vegas, where entire hotel rooms and hospitality suites were dedicated to group sex.31 In Orlando, teenage soccer players and their parents were confronted with public displays of sex and nudity when their team was lodged in a hotel that was hosting a swinger’s convention.32 Society has struggled throughout human history to contain the spread of polygamy, with mixed results. With the increasing popularity of wifeswapping and polyamory, arguments against polygamy may be more difficult to maintain. Polygamy has historically been a heterosexual activity, practiced by religious groups and cultures that are especially hostile to non-heterosexuals. Polygamy was once legal in Utah, but was supposedly banned before Utah became a state. Yet that hasn’t prevented heterosexual polygamists from taking over whole towns in Utah and Arizona.33 These polygamist “families” have exploited their own children in demanding that everyone else accept their lifestyle choices.34 And why not? The continuing disregard for all of the

other rules for decent behavior has led to a slippery slope towards the re-emergence of the ancient practice of polygamy. The Heterosexual Lifestyle Goes Public Heterosexuals now boldly and publicly celebrate their lifestyle choices in sex-charged festivals and parades. Thousands of people turned out for a parade of leather-clad topless porn stars in Auckland, New Zealand — a parade that drew more onlookers than the city’s annual Santa Parade at Christmas time.35 Mardi Gras is famous for images of eroticism, public nudity, and public sex. When this sexually charged atmosphere is mixed with massive consumption of alcohol, inhibitions quickly disappear. Almost a third of Mardi Gras participants reported having vaginal sex with someone they met there, and 16% reported having oral sex.36 All of this “legitimate” fun is officially promoted and celebrated, exposing families with children to open debauchery. College spring break is even more notorious. The “Girls Gone Wild” video series, which is openly advertised on television for children to see, cashes in on this notoriety by exploiting these students’ sexual adventures. Among college women at spring break, 57% agreed that the best way to fit in is to be sexually promiscuous, and only one in five regretted their sexual activity.37 But heterosexuals don’t need spring break or Mardi Gras to publicly display their sexual proclivities. Among college students, 56% of heterosexual men and 46% of women had gone skinnydipping, 65% of men and 42% of women had public sex, and 21% of men had been in a threesome.38 Among adults, 57% of American heterosexuals had sex outdoors, 42% consider themselves sexually adventurous, and 12% have had sex in the workplace.39 Heterosexuality In The Classroom With heterosexuality gaining such widespread public acceptance, it should come as no surprised that children would emulate their parents’ lifestyle choices. These young and impressionable kids are being initiated into heterosexuality earlier than ever before. At the start of the twentieth century, fewer than 10% of heterosexual women had premarital sex before the age of 18. But today, that figure is well over 50%.40 In one study of adolescent girls aged 14-17, the average age at which they started having sex was thirteen.41 Boys aren’t exactly falling behind either. A nationally representative survey of boys aged 15-19 found 55% had vaginal sex, 52.5% were masturbated by a girl, 49% received oral sex, 38.6% gave oral sex, and 11% had anal sex with a girl.42 Another study found 36% of boys already had five or more sex partners before leaving high school, and nearly 30% had at least three different sex partners in the previous three months alone.43 There is considerable evidence that children are starting to have sex at younger ages thanks to the active encouragement of militant heterosexual activists. One such activist, Paul Cameron, wrote a sex advice manual for parents in which he encouraged them to provide a room, a bathroom, snacks and privacy for their children to practice various forms of sexual activity.44 And it looks like some parents may be taking this advice to heart. More than a third of high school students in one survey admitted to sexual activities right in their own parents’ home.45

The Heterosexual Agenda: Exposing The Myths
Virgins Or “Virgins”? Heterosexual teenagers often don’t consider anything besides vaginal intercourse as “real sex.” This means that those who claim to be “virgins” aren’t nearly as innocent as they appear. Among young women who claimed to be virgins, 69% admitted to oral sex, 78% admitted to masturbation with someone else, and 52% admitted to genital-to-genital contact that didn’t involve vaginal penetration.46 Many of these “virgins” can be quite active. A survey of heterosexual college students found that one “virgin” had oral sex with ten partners in her still-young lifetime.47 Many heterosexual adolescents who take “virginity” pledges aren’t virgins even in the strictest sense of the word. One nationally representative survey asked adolescents about their sexual history and whether they had taken virginity pledges in 1995 and again in 1996. Of those who took “virginity” pledges in 1996, 28% had admitted to sexual activity when asked in 1995 but lied about it in 1996.48 Another survey of devout Baptist newlyweds (all of them “professed faith in Christ,” 99% attended church weekly, and 84% grew up in church) found that only 27% of them “entered the marriage bed chaste.”49 The Medical Consequences of Heterosexuality Syphilis was unknown in Europe until about 1500, when sailors on Columbus’ expeditions to the New World carried hitherto unknown diseases back to the Old World.50 Traveling heterosexuals have been enthusiastic participants in this biological swapmeet ever since. Heterosexual travelers carried so many tropical diseases to New York
City that it had to institute a Tropical Disease Center.51 Many heterosexuals are employed as food handlers. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) now run rampant through the heterosexual lifestyle, and this has significantly altered the delivery of medical care to the population at large. Doctors must now ask probing questions of their patients or risk making a misdiagnosis. The evaluation of a sore throat must now include questions about oral and anal sex. In one study of heterosexual couples in New York, 56% of the men and 60% of the women reported having had an STD in their lifetime — with 51% complaining of STD symptoms in just the previous ninety days.52 Women bear the brunt of many sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis and gonorrhea because they rarely experience symptoms. And since they are less likely to experience symptoms, they can pass these diseases on to other sexual partners without knowing it. Furthermore, vaginas are an especially efficient breeding ground for organisms, including Gardnerella vaginalis (73%), Chlamydia trachomatis (68%), Mycoplasma hominis (48%), Trichomaniasis vaginalis (24%), bacterial vaginosis (57%),53 Candida albican (10%), and even fecal bacteria (36%).54 Oral-genital contact is nearly universal among heterosexuals. Semen contains many of the germs carried in the blood. Because of this, heterosexuals 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), individuals so involved

may become infected with hepatitis A or gonorrhea (and even HIV and hepatitis B).55 Because the mouth was not designed to receive a penis, vigorous physical activity can cause bruising and serious damage, a condition that doctors have dubbed “Fellatio Syndrome”.56 But for all these dangers of oral-penile contact, oral-vaginal contact can be deadly. Air can become trapped inside the vagina during oral-vaginal sex, causing sudden death from air embolism.57 In one national random sample, nearly 26% of women and girls over the age of twelve were found to have Herpes-2.58 A study of 14- to 17year old girls in Indianapolis found 59% were infected with Herpes-1 59 and an astounding 77% were infected with high-risk forms of the human papillomavirus (HPV)60. HPV, a leading cause of cervical cancer, is the most common STD in the United States, with an estimated 5.5 million persons newly infected every year.61 More women die from cervical cancer each year than from AIDS,62 and sex with men is one of the five risk factors associated with cervical cancer. Because lesbians aren’t engaging in heterosexual activity, they often mistakenly believe they are safe from cervical cancer. But because of the dangers posed by having sex with men, they may be at risk if they had previously experimented in heterosexuality.63 Chlamydia can cause pelvic inflamm..."
