   As noted above, those in the gay rights movement constantly   
   assert that they are both normal and healthy individuals. We   
   have already discussed the "normality" of homosexuality. The   
   question of whether or not it is a healthy lifestyle can be   
   addressed in two areas: promiscuity and actual sexual practices.   
      
   (1) Promiscuity. If one agrees with the assertion that being   
   promiscuous is not healthy, from either an emotional or physical   
   standpoint, then homosexuality as typically practiced must be   
   termed extremely unhealthy. Homosexualities, an official   
   publication of The Institute for Sex Research founded by Alfred   
   Kinsey, Alan Bell, and Martin Weinberg, reported that only ten   
   percent of male homosexuals could be termed as "relatively   
   monogamous" or "relatively less promiscuous." Additional   
   findings showed that 60 percent of male homosexuals had more   
   than 250 lifetime sexual partners, and 28 percent of male   
   homosexuals had more than 1,000 lifetime sexual partners.   
   Another startling fact is that 79 percent admitted that more   
   than half of their sexual partners were strangers.39   
      
   Just a few years after the publication of this report, Dr.   
   William Foege, the director of the Centers for Disease Control,   
   stated: "The average AIDS victim has had 60 different sexual   
   partners in the past twelve months."40 In contrast with this,   
   "the average heterosexual male has — throughout his life — from   
   five to nine sex partners."41   
      
   What about lesbian relationships? Are homosexual women less   
   promiscuous than homosexual men? While less research has been   
   done on lesbians, the data shows that they are much more   
   monogamous than homosexual men. However, their relationships are   
   still not very secure. Yvonne Zipter, a lesbian writing in   
   Chicago's gay journal Windy City Times, in an article entitled   
   "The Disposable Lesbian Relationship," notes that the "lasting   
   lesbian relationship" is a "mythic entity."42   
      
   (2) Sexual Practices. A second item that cannot be avoided in a   
   discussion of the health aspects of homosexuality is the actual   
   sexual practices of homosexuals. Are these healthy? Once again,   
   the vast preponderance of medical evidence is resoundingly   
   negative.   
      
   Many different medical sources document the physical aberrancy   
   of homosexual sexual practices. The following information comes   
   from an article entitled "Medical Perspective of the Homosexual   
   Issue." It was written by Dr. Bernard J. Klamecki, a   
   proctologist (rectal specialist) for more than 30 years.   
      
   Dr. Klamecki states in this article that when he began his   
   medical practice in 1960, only one percent of his patients were   
   homosexuals. By 1988 this number had grown to 25 percent of his   
   patients, the majority being referred by a local gay free   
   clinic. The following material comes from one who is known and   
   respected by the homosexual community, a medical professional   
   who has care and compassion for all his patients and who donates   
   a good deal of his time to their service.   
      
   I know well the medical and surgical pathology directly related   
   to the sexual practices typical of active homosexuals,   
   particularly anal intercourse (sodomy) and oral intercourse   
   (fellatio)....   
      
   Sexual practices typical of homosexuals can affect the oral   
   cavities, lungs, penis, prostate, bladder, anus, perianal areas   
   outside of the rectum, rectum, colon, vagina, uterus, pelvic   
   area, brain, skin, blood, immune system, and other body   
   systems.... While none of the following practices is unique to   
   homosexuals, they are nonetheless typical....   
      
   Most common is anal intercourse (sodomy)....Foreign objects are   
   often used in order to produce a different erotic sensation or   
   to instigate a more violent sexual activity (sadomasochism).   
   Objects that I have removed from the rectum and lower bowel   
   include corn cobs, light bulbs, vibrators, soda bottles, and   
   varied wooden sticks.   
      
   "Fisting" is when a fisted hand is inserted into the rectum,   
   sometimes as far as the elbow, which produces varied sexually   
   exciting sensations, strongly linking eroticism with pain....   
      
   Oral intercourse (fellatio) is when the tongue is used to lick   
   or tickle the outlet of the rectum for sexual excitement,   
   arousing, or foreplay. Needless to say, bacteria may contaminate   
   and infect the mouth. One other sexual practice is "Water   
   Sports," in which urinating into the mouth or rectum is used as   
   a sexual stimulant.   
      
   Physical damage to the rectum may occur because of some of these   
   practices....There is an antinatural activity being performed   
   when the rectum is the recipient of a penis or foreign object.   
   Because of this activity, cracking of the tissue (fissuring),   
   open sores (ulcers), boils (abscesses), and other infections can   
   occur in the skin of the surrounding tissues....   
      
   Persistent anal-rectal sexual activity can lead to various pre-   
   cancerous lesions such as Bowen's disease and Kaposi's sarcoma.   
   Whenever tissues are traumatized, cracked, or abraded, they are   
   vulnerable to bacterial infection.43   
      
   Dr. Klamecki then continues, discussing the various bacterial   
   diseases and viral diseases he regularly encounters with his   
   homosexual patients — the most prominent being AIDS (the current   
   figure is that 70 percent of Americans with AIDS are male   
   homosexuals or bisexuals). In addition, he asserts that up to 86   
   percent of homosexual males use various drugs to enhance and   
   increase their sexual stimulation.44   
      
   Is the homosexual lifestyle a healthy one? The information   
   presented above just scratches the surface showing the   
   pathological nature of these sexual practices. Much more could   
   be shared (e.g., the homosexual is three times more suicidal   
   than the heterosexual; a recent study shows the life expectancy   
   of homosexual men and women without AIDS being about 33 years   
   shorter than that of the heterosexual; and so forth),45 but   
   space will not permit it. I believe that any unbiased reader   
   would have to admit that homosexuality is neither a healthy   
   lifestyle nor a natural one.
