THE LGBT MOVEMENT HEALTH DANGERS
A Biblical ,Medical , Scientific and Historical View
-Antonio Bernard

 Portraying homosexuality as harmless is a key goal of homosexual

activists, as homosexual author Urvashi Vaid has admitted:

“We have an agenda to create a society in which homosexuality is regarded as
healthy, natural, and normal. To me that is the most important agenda item.”
-Gabriel Rotello, Sexual Ecology: AIDS and the Destiny of Gay Men (New York: Penguin Books, 1997), 286.

-Antonio Bernard

 The reality, however, is quite the opposite, as was recently

conceded by the homosexual newspaper New York Blade News:
“Reports at a national conference about sexually transmitted diseases indicate that
gay men are in the highest risk group for several of the most serious diseases….
Scientists believe that the increased number of sexually transmitted diseases (std)
cases is the result of an increase in risky sexual practices by a growing number of
gay men who believe hiv is no longer a life-threatening illness.”

ORAL SEX is
UNNATURAL
Minnesota statute 609.293 defines
sodomy: “ ‘Sodomy’ means
carnally knowing any person by
the anus or by or with the mouth.”
This law prohibited oral or anal
intercourse between any two
people.

-Antonio Bernard

ORAL SEX is
UNNATURAL
Anal and oral sodomy are unhealthy
and are not normal intercourse.
They disregard human anatomy
and function. The definition of
normal is “that which functions
according to its design.”

“…For this cause God gave them up

While oral sex will not end up in pregnancy, it is not without its risks.

It is one of the most common ways to spread sexually transmitted

diseases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

As well as chlamydia, gonorrhoea and herpes, this includes the human

papilloma virus (HPV).The latter can lead to a number of cancers -
particularly in the throat.
 “According to the American Cancer Society, 34,000 people a year are diagnosed with oral
cancer, and 7,500 die from it. Only half of those diagnosed survive five years. While oral
cancers, along with cancers of the larynx, are strongly tied to smoking, the newest
shocking revelation is that more and more cases of oral cancer are now linked to oral sex.”
{Oral Cancer Linked to Oral Sex Caution: Sexual content}
 “Oral cancer in non-smokers is becoming a growing problem—with
cancer detected at the base of the tongue or in the throat. The culprit?—
the human papillomavirus (HPV)—most likely transmitted through oral
sex. This is the same virus that causes cervical cancer.”
{Oral Cancer Linked to Oral Sex Caution: Sexual content}
 “The May 10, 2007 New England Journal of Medicine reported a study by scientists that analyzed
throat swabs from 100 patients who had oropharyngal cancer, and 200 people without the disease.
The results showed, “The cancer patients were 12 times as likely as the others to have an active HPV
infection....HPV-16 DNA showed up in 72 percent of the throat cancers.” This is the strain
considered most likely to cause cancer. HPV-16 can transform normal cells in the mucous
membranes—like those lining both the cervix and oral cavity—into cancerous squamous cells.”

 ORAL SEX
The American Journal of Epidemiology (F.N. Judson vol. 112, p 836-43) reports,
“Studies have also indicated that the body’s natural immune system is broken
down by repeated exposure to sperm during anal (and oral) intercourse....”

According to research by Dr. John R. Diggs Jr.

(The Health Risks of Gay Sex), “...ejaculate has
components that are immunosuppressive. In the
course of ordinary reproductive physiology, this
allows the sperm to evade the immune defense
of the female. Rectal insemination of rabbits has
shown that sperm impaired the immune
defenses of the recipient. Semen may have a
similar impact on humans.”
 ORAL SEX
“ The female vagina was designed for intercourse. The vagina has
natural lubricants, a network of muscles supporting it, and is able
to endure intercourse without damage. It can resist the
immunological actions that semen and sperm cause.
The rectum cannot. Potentially dangerous bacteria can be
contained in the anus and rectum. Anal sex can transmit a whole
host of sexually transmitted diseases. Oral sex can transmit
virtually all of the sexually transmitted diseases as well. "

ORAL SEX is
UNNATURAL
“It certainly is possible to transmit diseases by
oral genital contact. Gonorrhea, for example, is
a bacterial infection that causes not only a
genital tract infection, but can cause a severe
sore throat (pharyngitis). Herpes is transmitted
easily by this route, also. Some women report
yeast infections after receiving oral sex, but
the mechanism of this is not clear.”

ORAL SEX
Performing In the book Epidemic: How Teen
Sex is Killing Our Kids, Dr. Meg Meeker states
that while some teens believe that oral sex will
leave them a technical virgin, it won’t leave them
disease-free. The sad truth is that in addition to
HPV, HIV is also spread through oral sex as are
herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, chancroid,
intestinal parasites, and hepatitis A.

Oral sex also sets teens up for unhealthy

relationships. Many girls will take with them
into adulthood painful, traumatic memories of
participating in a self-degrading act that can
leave them feeling used and abused.

“Many “safe sex” educators are teaching teens how to make “dental dams” to practice safe oral
sex. This is dangerous advice for teens. The CDC states (2003), “No barrier methods for use
during oral sex have been evaluated as effective by the FDA.” Dental dams are not adequately
protective, and recommending this to teens may put them at risk of acquiring sexually
transmitted diseases in their mouth and throat. Oral sodomy remains a dangerous practice.”
ORAL SEX is
UNNATURAL
Most of the world, for good reason, has
always outlawed acts of sodomy. We should
have paid more attention to an old African
proverb that states, “Don’t tear down a
fence until you know why it was put up.”

Lesbians and
ORAL SEX
-Antonio Bernard

 “Women can catch STIs such as herpes, genital warts and chlamydia when
exchanging bodily fluids," says Hunt. "Any one-on-one contact, such as oral sex or
using the same hand when touching yourself and then your partner, can put you at
risk. Two women that are both menstruating are at a higher risk, too.”

https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/sexual-health/sexual-health-for-lesbian-and-bisexual-women/
 “Lesbians can get the same sexually transmitted infections (STDs) as heterosexual
women. Lesbians can give each other STDs by skin-to-skin contact, mucus membrane
contact, vaginal fluids, and menstrual blood. It is important for sexually active
lesbians to be screened for STDs by a health care provider.”

Sexually Transmitted Infections Among
Women Who Have Sex With Women:
“Women who have sex with women (WSW) are a diverse group with
variations in sexual identity, sexual behaviors, sexual practices, and risk
behaviors. WSW are at risk of acquiring bacterial, viral, and protozoal
sexually transmitted infections (STIs) from current and prior partners, both
male and female. Bacterial vaginosis is common among women in general
and even more so among women with female partners.”

problems such as proctitis, proctocolitis, and enteritis as “sexually
transmitted gastrointestinal syndromes.”
 Gay Bowel Syndrome (GBS)
“Enteritis is inflammation of the small intestine. According to the Sexually Transmitted

"The Strange Abandonment of Principle—Is there not enough transpiring about us to show
us the dangers that beset our path? Everywhere are seen wrecks of humanity, broken-
down family altars, broken-up families. There is a strange abandonment of principle, the
standard of morality is lowered, and the earth is fast becoming a Sodom. ”
—The Review and Herald, November 10, 1885. TSB 120.3
 " The Sodomitish practices which brought the judgment of God upon the world,
and caused it to be deluged with water, and which caused Sodom to be destroyed
by fire, are fast increasing. We are nearing the end. God has borne long with the
perversity of mankind, but their punishment is no less certain. Let those who
profess to be the light of the world, depart from all iniquity.”
—The Review and Herald, November 10, 1885. TSB 120.3
 “Impurity is today widespread, even among the professed followers of Christ. Passion is
unrestrained; the animal propensities are gaining strength by indulgence, while the moral powers
are constantly becoming weaker.... The sins that destroyed the antediluvians and the cities of the
plain exist today—not merely in heathen lands, not only among popular professors of Christianity,
but with some who profess to be looking for the coming of the Son of man. If God should present
these sins before you as they appear in His sight, you would be filled with shame and terror.”

—Testimonies for the Church 5:218. TSB 121.1

“Abuse of Sexual Privileges—Let the husband and wife in their married life prove a help and a
blessing to one another. Let them consider the cost of every indulgence in intemperance and
sensualism. These indulgences do not increase love, nor ennoble and elevate. Those who will
indulge the animal passions and gratify lust will surely stamp upon their offspring the
debasing practices, the grossness of their own physical and moral defilement.”

—Manuscript 3, 1897. TSB 114.4

One might think that all kinds of sexual activity are alike in terms of
sexual satisfaction, relationship satisfaction, mental health, and
physiological effects. An orgasm is an orgasm. It turns out that this
view is not supported by scientific research. Numerous studies
have pointed to significant differences between, on the one hand,
coitus (i.e. penile-vaginal intercourse or PVI) and, on the other
hand, noncoital sexual activity such as oral sex, anal sex, and
masturbation with or without a partner.
In his Journal of Sex Medicine article, “The Relative
Health Benefits of Different Sexual Activities,” Dr.
Stuart Brody summarizes a number of studies
stating that “[a] wide range of better psychological
and physiological health indices are associated
specifically with penile–vaginal intercourse. …”
“Other sexual activities have weaker, or (in the
cases of masturbation and anal intercourse) inverse
associations with health indices.” Multimethod
evidence points to better psychological and
physiological health benefits associated with
coitus but not with other sexual behaviors.
Researchers also found differences in mental health satisfaction when comparing coitus
with noncoital activities. Brody writes:
“In a large representative sample of the Swedish population, PVI [penile-vaginal
intercourse] frequency was a significant predictor of both men’s and women’s greater
satisfaction with their mental health. In contrast, masturbation was inversely (badly)
associated with mental health satisfaction in the multivariate analyses that controlled for
other sexual behavior frequencies, and partnered sexual behaviors other than PVI
[penile-vaginal intercourse] were uncorrelated with mental health satisfaction.”
 Differences also existed regarding intimate
relationship quality: “noncoital sex frequency was
associated with less global relationship
satisfaction, and noncoital partnered orgasm
frequency was associated with less love.”
Likewise, researchers found differences with respect to rates of depression. In Brody’s words:

“The association of masturbation with depression is unlikely to be a result of simply a lack of PVI,
because more masturbation and less PVI make independent contributions to less satisfaction with
relationships, sex life, life in general, and one’s mental health (the multivariate analyses also
examined some partnered sexual activities other than PVI, and revealed that anal and oral sex
frequency also have independent inverse associations with some of the satisfaction indices). It is
likely that only unfettered, real PVI has important mood-enhancing benefits.”
“The findings demonstrate that sexual satisfaction is strongly related to PVI but
not to other sexual behaviors (some of which are significantly inversely related to
sexual satisfaction). A similar pattern applies to satisfaction with relationships, life
in general, and one’s mental health. This evidence contrasts with assertions that
masturbation and other sexual activities are as satisfying as PVI.”
The difference may be due to greater release of prolactin which is associated with
sexual satiety: “the prolactin rise after PVI orgasm is 400% greater than following
masturbation orgasm.” Coitus and other kinds of sexual activity are not equivalent.
“[S]atisfaction with sex life, life in general, sexual partnership, and
mental health correlates directly with frequency of penile-vaginal
intercourse (PVI) and inversely with frequency of both masturbation
and partnered sexual activity excluding PVI (noncoital sex).”
 One might be tempted to account for these
psychological differences in satisfaction in terms of
underlying differences in attitude among those who do
them. People with more strict moral codes might feel
guilty in doing noncoital sexual behaviors, and so might
not experience the same psychological benefits that
persons with less strict moral codes would experience.
However, in a study entitled, yes, this is the real full title, “Satisfaction (Sexual,
Life, Relationship, and Mental Health) Is Associated Directly with Penile-Vaginal
Intercourse, but Inversely with Other Sexual Behavior Frequencies,”
Brody and Rui Miguel Costa point out, “The exploratory finding that a rigid attitude
toward variety in sexual activities was completely unrelated to the satisfaction indices
suggests that it is indeed sexual behaviors (and the underlying psychosexual motives
that guide them) that are related to satisfaction, rather than inflexible attitudes.”
 In other words, it was not guilt about perceived failure
to adhere to moral norms that undermined satisfaction.
Those without so-called “rigid attitudes” had similar
experiences as those with more traditional attitudes
 Brody and Rui found that “[t]he results are consistent with evidence that
specifically PVI frequency, rather than other sexual activities, is associated with
sexual satisfaction, health, and well-being. Inverse associations between
satisfaction and masturbation are not due simply to insufficient PVI.”
 In addition to psychological benefits, physiological benefits are also associated with
coitus but not other kinds of sexual behavior. Researchers found that, “specifically
PVI but not other sexual behavior was associated with an important measure of
better homeostasis, better parasympathetic tone, lower mortality risk, and
better psychological function (including better relatedness).”
The research suggests “not only that it is specifically PVI (rather than other sexual behaviors)
that is associated with optimal cardiovascular ‘protection’ from stress, but also that the
benefits are not simply due to having a partner.” Similarly, Brody cites studies showing the
benefits of coitus but not other sexual activities in reducing the likelihood of prostate cancer, breast
cancer, hot flash symptoms, pre-eclampsia, low sperm count, and high blood pressure.
Results
For both sexes, sexual compatibility was
independently predicted by higher frequency of
penile–vaginal intercourse and greater vaginal
orgasm consistency. Women's sexual satisfaction
score was significantly predicted by greater vaginal
orgasm consistency, frequency of partner genital
stimulation, and negatively with masturbation. Men's
sexual satisfaction score was significantly predicted
by greater intercourse frequency and any vaginal
orgasm of their female partners.
Conclusions
The findings suggest that specifically
penile–vaginal intercourse frequency and vaginal
orgasm consistency are associated with indices of
greater intimate relationship adjustment, satisfaction,
and compatibility of both partners, and that women's
masturbation is independently inversely associated
with measures of dyadic and personal function.
Indeed, the evidence suggests that coitus produces health benefits:
“It is specifically PVI (penile–vaginal intercourse) competently performed and
sensitively experienced, that is associated with . . . and produces . . . aspects
of better mental and physical health. This is not the case for other sexual
behaviors (masturbation and anal intercourse are associated with poorer
health indices, effects not attributable simply to lack of PVI).”
What might account for these differences? A number of mechanisms might account for the
differences between coitus and noncoital sexual behavior. For example, Brody writes:

“Evolutionary pressures strongly reward behaviors and mutations even

slightly associated with increased likelihood of gene propagation. The
difference between PVI and other sexual behaviors is not slight.”
“The difference between PVI and other sexual behaviors is not slight. The
mechanisms by which such evolutionarily mandated rewards might operate range
from direct physiological mechanisms (responding favorably to PVI but neutrally or
unfavorably to other sexual activities) to mechanisms secondary to the evolutionary
behavioral ‘success’ of specifically PVI being rewarded by better physical and mental
health (and perhaps the evolutionary behavioral failure of other sexual activities such
as masturbation being punished by poorer physical and mental health).”
“Based upon a broad range of methods, samples, and measures, the research findings
are remarkably consistent in demonstrating that one sexual activity (PVI and the
orgasmic response to it) is associated with, and in some cases, causes processes
associated with better psychological and physical functioning. Other sexual behaviors
(including when PVI is impaired, as with condoms or distraction away from the penile–
vaginal sensations) are unassociated, or in some cases (such as masturbation and anal
intercourse) inversely associated with better psychological and physical functioning.”
 “That love which has no better foundation than mere sensual gratification will be
headstrong, blind, and uncontrollable. Honor, truth, and every noble, elevated power of the
mind are brought under the slavery of passions. The man who is bound in the chains of this
infatuation is too often deaf to the voice of reason and conscience; neither argument nor
entreaty can lead him to see the folly of his course.”

—The Signs of the Times, July 1, 1903. AH 51.1

 “True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. On the
contrary, it is calm and deep in its nature. It looks beyond mere
externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and
discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding.”

—Testimonies for the Church 2:133. AH 51.2

“Love, lifted out of the realm of passion and impulse, becomes spiritualized,
and is revealed in words and acts. A Christian must have a sanctified
tenderness and love in which there is no impatience or fretfulness; the

rude, harsh manners must be softened by the grace of Christ.”

—Testimonies for the Church 5:335. AH 51.3

“Love is a pure and holy principle; but lustful passion will not admit
of restraint, and will not be dictated to or controlled by reason. It is
blind to consequences; it will not reason from cause to effect.”
