Homosexuality: Good or Evil? (3)

THERE are health, spiritual and psychological implications of homosexuality. Anal and oral sex are terribly dangerous to health. They often result in anal and throat (mouth) cancers. And they are also some of the easiest ways of spreading HIV and several other Sexually Transmitted Diseases Infections (STDs). Some of the STDs that can be transmitted through anal sex are Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which can increase risk of anal cancer; typhoid fever; amoebiasis chlamydia; cryptosporidiosis; E. coli infections; giardiasis; gonorrhea; hepatitis A; hepatitis B; hepatitis C; herpes simplex; Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpes virus (HHV-8); lymphogranuloma venereum; mycoplasma hominis; mycoplasma genitalium; pubic lice; salmonellosis; shigella; syphilis; tuberculosis; and ureaplasma urealyticum. There are also other health risks like hemorrhoids and rectal prolapse.
Hemorrhoids

Yes, there is also the risk of hemorrhoids. Anal sex can exacerbate hemorrhoids and, therefore, result in bleeding. Because of the rectum’s lack of elasticity, the anal mucous membrane being thin, and small blood vessels being present directly beneath the mucous membrane, tiny tears and bleeding in the rectum usually result from penetrative anal sex. And you know this can lead to anything, even death.
Rectal Prolapse

Repetitive penetrative anal sex may result in the anal sphincters becoming weakened, which may cause rectal prolapse or affect the ability to hold in faeces (a condition known as fecal incontinence). A 1993 study indicated that 14 out of a sample of 40 men receiving anal intercourse experienced episodes of frequent fecal incontinence. You can read more in my book.

Oral Sex
Homosexuals (gays and lesbians) also practise oral sex and this has its own health risks. God (nature) did not intend man to have sex through the mouth. The mouth is meant for talking, receiving food and water into the digestive system. But the enemy is also perverting this, and it has a dire consequence. Oral sex is very unhealthy. First, it allows for the transmission of several STDs, HIV and other diseases into the body. Then, it is known that most of the people suffering from throat cancer have been involved in this. Below is a list of STIs that can be passed on through oral sex: Chlamydia, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis A, hepatitis C, herpes, syphilis and pubic lice among others. Yes, when you go against God’s plan, against nature, these are the pains you go through. Romans 1:24, 26-27 says: “So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies… That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men instead of having normal sexual relationships with women burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.”
