What concerns me, though, regarding the yuck factor re
homosexuals is that heterosexual couples also engage in anal sex and no one
makes an issue of that


Some do, presumably. But just because people don't make an issue out of it doesn't mean that they aren't equally repulsed by it. (Though come to think of it, maybe it IS less replusive to men because they aren't having to imagine themselves being the recipients of it. Are women repulsed by the thought of it??

But perhaps no one makes an issue out of it because the couples themselves don't make an issue out of it? They don't publicly go to bathouses looking to do that with a bunch of other people. They don't push for social approval of their activities, they don't hold Hetero Anal Sex Pride parades, they don't flaunt their deeds. If they did, if they pushed our faces in it, I suspect you would see a lot more repulsion than you do. Just a guess, but I suspect an accurate one.
