A constant argument from the pro-gay sex contingent is that the heterosexual sphere can be just as perverse and disgusting as the gay one. To contest this: I have recalled my numerous sojourns into hell at the San Francisco based Folsom Street Fair and the now defunct Exotic Erotic Ball. As a basic introduction: the Folsom Street Fair is held annually in September, though attended by both males and females, the crowd and the performers are predominantly gay men; the Exotic Erotic Ball was also an annual event held around Halloween, but unlike Folsom, the participants were decidedly mixed – predominantly straights, with a good share of gay men and fewer lesbians. I first attended the Folsom event in the late-1980s and was immediately repelled by the extremes being displayed on a public street: bondage, blood-letting, water-sports, outdoor oral as well as anal sex. While a few women went topless, and fewer yet submitted to a public spanking, there were countless gay men walking about naked and or engaging in public sex. In opposition, at the Erotic Ball, there were again a good number of topless women, but those who were performing public sex acts were predominantly the gay men. The most hardcore thing I saw were a few flirtatious women kissing and fondling each other on the dais; it was a rather grand flash of staged exhibitionism. Whereas, the gay men in attendance, pushed each other into the shadows and darkened corners of the venue – and did it all. The difference between the sexes was stark. For instance, at one notoriously warm Folsom Fair, I will never forget a rather emaciated looking man holding up a bottle of lube over the crowd and yelling that he would now take-on all comers. Never once, did I ever see any woman do anything near that bizarre.
The landmark book, but widely condemned by contemporary feminists, written by psychologist Richard Hagen in 1979, “The Bio-Sexual Factor,” proved that there is a powerful hormonal difference marking the sexual libidos of most men and women. In an interview from 79, Hagen said: “Androgens, the male hormones, and estrogens, the female hormones, are present in different amounts in both sexes. Males have more androgens; females more estrogens…androgens heighten sex drive in both sexes; estrogens do not. Now here's the kicker: Males have ten times more circulating testosterone, which is an androgen, than women do.” He continued: “Whereas men produce millions of sperm daily, women usually produce only one egg a month. That makes it economically rare and precious, especially when you consider the time and energy involved in gestation and nursing. In a primitive society it is clearly to the woman's advantage to become sexually aroused only when the relationship with her mate is secure. Thus the female protects her investment and enhances her genetic survival when she makes sure her offspring survive to maturity. One way to do that is to get a male to help raise the children, to protect and provide for the family, and to stick by him through thick and thin.”
What I repeatedly found in gay male culture was a testosterone driven society gone into hyper-drive. Without the restraining influence of the female, males reach a black hole of sorts, or point of singularity, at which everything is destroyed by the sheer force of its own momentum: this horrifically took place in the 1980s with the advent of AIDS. Without women, the perverse imagination of men runs wild; this is evident in the near complete absence of violent female sex-offenders. Biologically, and physiologically, women will never reach the depths of sexual perversity found in males: for this reason, the forms of group sex and gangbangs routinely found in gay arenas only takes place with women when they are raped or paid-highly in the porn industry. Men without the feminine pressure are endlessly restless and questing; they are tragically unfulfilled. For instance, St. John Paul once said:
“In the mystery of creation, the woman was ‘given’ to the man. On his part, in receiving her as a gift in the full truth of her person and femininity, man thereby enriches her. At the same time, he too is enriched in this mutual relationship. The man is enriched not only through her, who gives him her own person and femininity, but also through the gift of himself. The man's giving of himself, in response to that of the woman, enriches himself. It manifests the specific essence of his masculinity which, through the reality of the body and of sex, reaches the deep recesses of the ‘possession of self.’ Thanks to this he is capable both of giving himself and of receiving the other's gift.”
Here, the Holy Father demonstrated how the sexes, especially males, are eventually made whole and perfected through the union of male and female in a physical, as well as spiritual, bond. In the all-male culture of gay men, this point of redemption never occurs. Instead, the tempering force and decisive “giving” mentality of women is lost. Instead, what you left with: is a hormonal juggernaut that results in despondency and disease; although, in some gay sub-groups, there is a vain attempt at aping male-female monogamy, yet, the penis and the mouth, or the penis and the anus, are a fundamentally flawed, and convenient carrier for viral death, attempt to reach union.
