Weird Sex

Being a family-friendly site this title may be shocking. But in the spirit of family friendliness I am compelled to post this.



Ben Fawley, the suspected killer of Taylor Behl, has indeed confessed to killing her. He claims it was an accident during a consensual sex act. An accident he nonetheless initiated, experimenting with erotic asphyxiation. Was it murder? I think it was.

But that is not what I want to write about today. I want to talk about weird sex. In Catholic Moral teachings there is a term called Natural Law. Sexual morality is taught according to natural law. It basically states that man and woman are created differently and complementarily. This means that the standard equipment for each is sufficient for the other, are not interchangeable, and are a means to a tangible end.

This doesn't speak much to the pleasure of sex but it does contain some clues. It would at least have been helpful to Taylor Behl. The first clue that something was awry, if this was indeed consensual (which I and others do not believe it was for a second), would have been the strangulation part. The windpipe does not and never has been a part of the natural law concerning sex. It is dangerous to cut off oxygen to the brain. A college freshman should know this. If you are unsure just ask Michael Hutchence . Oh wait...You can't. The lead singer of the band INXS died apparently due to auto-erotic asphyxiation. As one message board cited " If your orgasms are so lame that you need to cut off your oxygen supply to enjoy them than something is very very wrong with you." I have to agree.

Now here's the reason I think it is murder. Auto-erotic asphyxiation is done to oneself. And Ben Fawley posted to his blog, that there was something HE wanted to try with Taylor. This, after he and a friend signed up to attend an apparent sado-masochist workshop in Philly. As a parent, I hope he gets what he deserves.

It may be taboo to talk "weird sex" with your kids. But this is not the 50's anymore. Nowadays kids need to be aware of the dangers they face and the Taylor Behl case contains a long list.

Here are some pointers:

Don't EVER EVER I repeat EVER meet with someone you only know through the internet.

Don't date a man old enough to be your father who claims to be a Goth/skater from the 1980's. Or claiming anything else for that matter.

When a guy grabs your throat, kick him in the nuts.

Learn the difference between creative and creepy.




I'm sure there's more...You can add to this list in the comments section.

Peace and Godspeed.
