Vegansexuals

| | Comments (2) |

The Drudge Report has attracted international attention to a story out of New Zealand about "Vegansexuals" -- animal lovers so committed to the veggie cause that they won't have sex with meat-eaters:

Many female respondents described being attracted to people who ate meat, but said they did not want to have sex with meat-eaters because their bodies were made up of animal carcasses.

One vegan respondent from Christchurch said: "I believe we are what we consume, so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially sexually."

But wait! If we truly are what we eat, then sex with carnivores is nothing more than bestiality, which, according to some animal-rights champions -- most notably Princeton University bioethicist Peter Singer and PETA president Ingrid Newkirk -- can be, under the right circumstances, just swell.

So to get this matter of vegan ethics straight once and for all: Hamburgers are immoral, but buggering ham is not. And as for sex with carnivores, well, the jury's still out on that one.

Here you go again, Chris: another story about other people's sex lives. I'm now quite sure this is all a product of your sexually repressed conservative Catholic identity and perspective: the ID comes out in the form of these obsessions, first and foremost with the Mayor's sex life...

I'm a parent, too, but maybe if you didn't expect your wife to ONLY by a perfect mom and you know, spiced things up with a trip to Victoria's secret...

Wait, I almost missed this one. Are you saying the president of PETA actually advocates for human-animal sex "under certain circumstances?"

You finally found a target worthy of your sexual obsessions. But, would this guy disapprove of divorce? (Among humans, I mean.)
