Perversion in the News: It Takes Two to Tango & CSI: ASPCA

The first article in today’s installment of Perversion in the News is a look at bestiality in colonial America. While no one would be surprised that 17th Century justice took a dim view of bestiality, this article discusses colonial Americans proclivity towards slaughtering the victim animals. On the one hand, the executing animals whose only crime was being sexy strikes me as taking blaming the victim to its extreme. On the other, who wants to find the defiled gobbler on their Thanksgiving table? Pilgrims Pride indeed.

The second news article concerns North Carolina man arrested for a crime against nature. For some reason, when I hear of a crime against nature, I envision things like the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl or the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. However, this crime against nature merely involved relations with the landlord’s dog. While arrests for dog fucking happen with a somewhat surprising regularity, this particular case seemed noteworthy because the veterinarian did what I can only imagine was the canine equivalent of a rape kit on the victim and the collected DNA evidence was matched to the suspect.

Perversion in the News: Sex with Animals Linked to Penis Cancer

Usually scientific proposals seem like rather dry reading, but I imagine the proposal for this study is quite the page turner. Even though there are humorous aspects to this study, as an American, I cannot help but be reminded that there are far too many self-proclaimed moral guardians holding back the breadth of our scientific knowledge. Imagine the uproar if Congressional Republicans discovered the NIH funded such a study in the US.

The Sacred Art of Fisting

Front cover for The Sacred Art of Fisting
By Larry R. Shockey
Published in 2009 by Handballheaven.com
In the preface of The Sacred Art of Fisting, Shockey discloses that he ruptured his colon in a fisting scene. That incident, and his desire to help others avoid the same fate, inspired Shockey to write a class handout that turned into this booklet.
Coming in at 24 pages including the covers, Shockey’s book concisely covers everything needed for a fisting scene with an emphasis on safety from the anatomy of the colon, supplies you’ll need for fisting play, safer fisting sex, cleaning out the colon, aftercare, and cleaning up the scene. My favorite part is Shockey’s warning to put down plastic over the playspace after playing to avoid slips and falls from wayward lubricants on the floor. While this book is devoted to the subject of anal fisting, most of the material in it applies to vaginal fisting as well.
Shockey also spends several paragraphs discussing HIV, Hepatitis A, B, and C, MRSA, and syphilis and how to avoid spreading them during fisting play. MRSA is an under-discussed pathogen in the context of STDs, and Shockey deserves kudos for including it here.
The Sacred Art of Fisting is a well-written reference that covers it subject in enough depth to inform, but not so much as to bore the reader with minutae or asides. If you find a copy of the printed book, it is well worth picking up. If you cannot find a copy of the printed booklet, it is available as a PDF at http://www.hellholesf.com/SAOF_Final_web.pdf.
Transpired

Front cover for Transpired
Self-Published in 2011
In the introduction to Transpired, the creators, Hales and Zig, claim that they created the zine with the goal of removing Gender Identity Disorder and transvestic fetishism from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
Physically, this zine takes an extremely low-tech approach. The layout relies heavily on handwritten and cut-and-paste pages. Unfortunately, the execution of the layout made the pages look jumbled and hard to read. While editors with a mission are often able to make their writing seem passionate, the passion of this zine’s creators turned into histrionics. The articles are long on righteous indignation and short on logic or meaningful persuasion.
The content combined with the jarring layout made Transpired a mess. While reading a bad zine is a disappointment to me personally, I think its biggest failing is that anyone reading Transpired who was already convinced that Gender Identity Disorder and transvestic fetishism are mental illnesses would hold the zine as further evidence to support that opinion.
