What Is A Tongue For?

By The Daily Dish

May 29 2008, 9:16 AM ET

William Saletan considers the normalization of oral sex:

The near-disappearance of lifetime oral virginity makes sodomy laws fairly ridiculous. The percentage of Americans aged 25 to 44 who deny ever having had oral sex now barely exceeds the percentage who admit to same-sex activity. By empirical standards, if gay sex is deviant, so is chastity of the mouth.

We are all sodomists now.
