A newly issued study by Nature that suggests a link between anal sex and “anal incontinence” has pricked up the ears of antigay activists Bryan Fischer and Peter LaBarbera, who hastily lunged to their Twitter accounts to make juvenile, prurient posts that ridicule homosexuals.
Never one to take the high road, Bryan Fischer said the study proves “sodomy is bad for human health” and “homosexuals need Depends.”

Peter LaBarbera said this news is “bad news for Dan Savage and the Buggery Brigade,” writing that the study “links anal s-x to fecal incontinence, especially among men.”

The study’s conclusion asserts that anal intercourse is, in fact, “a factor contributing to fecal incontinence in adults, especially among men.”
But, as Women’s Health points out:
The study didn’t look at how often someone engages in anal sex, so they can’t say whether it takes just one time to up your chances or if it’s something you have to do on a regular basis to be at risk. Also, other factors that can cause incontinence, like surgery, childbirth, and certain diseases, could be at play. Still, you can get in on the butt action without damaging your precious derriere. Your best bet is doing kegels, which can help to strengthen your sphincter—and remember to always use lube to prevent painful tearing.”
