On a University of Michigan Web site, "'external water sports' is described as a type of 'safer sex.'"
I don't believe it. Unless "a University of Michigan Web site" is actually something like a Michigan "Friends of R Kelly" club or somesuch.

Belay That!
This (from the Wall Street Journal, lest you get the wrong idea about my reading materials) can't possibly be true, can it?

that is unbeliveable. especially considering what "external water sports" are. in a nutshell, any act that involves any bodily fluid that is not taken into another body. whatever happened to 2nd base?
Seems totally believable to me.
Second base doesn't apply, as the game has obviously been rained out. :)

actual University of Missouri's (not Michigan's as far as I can tell) "counseling center" states
"But... What Sexual Contact Is Safe... And What Isn't?
Safer:
* Dry kissing
* Masturbation on skin with no open sores/cuts
* Oral sex on a man wearing a condom
* External watersports
(urinating on skin without open sores)
* Touching, Massaging
* Sharing fantasies
(the brain is the largest, most versatile sex organ)"
Three Things:
1. I'm always glad to get new visitors to the site, but anon and Randall have made this discussion a little more, er, explicit than I wanted it to be. Guys, my Mom reads this site. I thought the R Kelly reference was clear enough without y'all describing the "external water sports" in such vivid detail.
2. Randall, I'm really surprised by that. Often conservative critics of universities (and, make no mistake, I am one of these) seek to tar entire institutions with the actions of a few individuals. For instance, when I was at Ole Miss some conservatives made hay of a newspaper article that went like "An Ole Miss Web Site Links To Site With Gay Porn". But the article there is crucial; the site in question was not "the" UM web site but "a" UM web site --- actually that of the UM GLBA. When I said "I don't believe it", this is what I meant: not that the WSJ was lying, but that they were unfairly impugning the University of Michigan for the contents of some individual student's or club's university-hosted website. That this information is actually included on an official, university maintained website is stunning.
3. Although I can't speak to the physical safety of this, er, activity, something about that UM-R website is really disturbing me. Aren't they playing a little fast and loose with the word "sexual"?
Heh. Nothing like water sports to get the traffic up :)
While it isn't my thing, I can assure you that there are plenty of people who enjoy that sort of thing, in their minds anyway it is a sexual activity. Obviously from a purely biological sense it isn't, but there are a lot of sexual things people do that have nothing to do with the pure biology.
Well, this IS an educational site

Well, Dave, I wasn't speaking in a "purely biological" sense quite so much as a "that's f**king disgusting and if you like it you should have your head examined" sense. As a man at peace with his conservatism, I can say that ;-)
