"http://www.webmd.com/sex/anal-sex-health-concerns tells you about it being dangerous as well as other medical sights and doctors and if you look with open eyes in the Bible it tells you that sodomy is evil and unnatural. ...I gave one internet site and told you that there are other articles out there as well as doctors off of the internet that will back up that it is dangerous. As for using the Bible, I do believe in the Bible and what it says and I am a firm believer in God and his word. I don't hate anyone but I do believe that the Bible is true and that it does condemn sodomy. I can't answer for others who believe otherwise, I am simply stating what I believe and the end of the movie was very disturbing and inappropriate to me."
This is a quote from two reviews from one reviewer of The Kingsmen: The Secret Service, a movie recently released on DVD. Near the end of the movie, a woman tells the hero that she will allow him to have sex with her sphincter if he saves the world, to which the hero responds with interest, "I'll be right back." After a battle ultimately resulting in the hero saving the world, the hero returns to the woman and we see her roll onto her stomach, revealing her naked rear end, and then we are left to imagine what happens next. She is smiling when she rolls over.
I very much enjoyed this movie. So did my family. One of the best movies we'd all seen in a long while, we all said.
As the credits rolled, my wife asked emphatically about the sphincter sex. "Why is that the thing?" She was confused as to why that was used as a reward. Why couldn't the woman just offer sex to the hero, she wondered. I told her that I believed that sphincter sex was used because it was a taboo, and when people react favorably to it in movies it reads to me more as a favorable reaction to getting something that isn't always offered. "Like a delicacy," I said. "Not all delicacies are delicious. I haven't had many that are. But they are rare." If somebody offered me escargot, my wife said excitedly, I would just say no thank you. Similarly, if somebody said I could have anal sex if I saved the world, I would just say no thank you. I don't understand why it's a thing? "Because it's not as interesting a story if your hero is offered anal sex and he says 'no, thank you'. Stories don't benefit from people turning down experiences." My wife told me to stop being snippy. Then my 14-year-old said that sphincter sex could be a good thing because you wouldn't have to wear a condom. He was trying to say that you wouldn't have to worry about getting somebody pregnant, and therefore a condom wouldn't be needed. Sphincter sex was also good because you wouldn't need to worry about getting an abortion pill. At this point, my anger about his choice to live with his father who is a Stanch-No-Thoughts-Allowed-Sexually-Repressed-Bigoted-Racist Fucker reared it's ugly, ugly head in me. Obviously he was saying those things because he had been willfully under-educated about sex and sexual health and was in danger of contracting a potentially fatal disease because he failed to use a condom during sex, I thought. However, I did not say any of that, and I very actively worked on calming myself down, telling myself I was overreacting, he's 14, it's not something to get worked up about. I did say, "If you're just worried about pregnancy, you don't have to worry so much with anal sex. If you don't want to get the ass-AIDS, though, you might want to wear a condom." My wife then said you could get AIDS anywhere, not just the ass. I returned to my silence and tried to calm down. I did okay.
I thought the anal sex joke was funny and appropriate. I liked the movie.
If you follow the link provided by the reviewer at the top of this page, you will come across an article about Health Concerns regarding anal sex, as well as potential health risks and ways to reduce those risks. While stating there are health concerns, it does not say anal sex is dangerous. At least, anal sex isn't dangerous if you take the time to educate yourself and read the article.

This WebMD article tells the story of a 38-year-old male who died while jogging. If I said the article says jogging is dangerous, though, I would not be correct.
http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/20100111/too-much-tv-may-have-deadly-toll
This article tells how watching TV will give you heart disease. There are health concerns, but it's not dangerous to watch TV.
http://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/guide/sexual-health-stds
This article tells about how 1 out of 4 teens gets a disease from having sex every year, and by age 25, half of sexually active young adults will have a disease. So is it dangerous, or should you take precautions to keep yourself safe?
It is not correct to say that the article the reviewer quoted says that anal sex is dangerous.
My biggest issue is her assertion that she is "simply stating what [she] believe[s]".
Belief is something that has no proof whatsoever. I believe that one day I will move things with my mind. There is no evidence that I have ever moved things with my mind. There is no evidence that anyone has moved anything with their mind. There is no reason (no proof) for me to believe what I believe. Yet I continue to believe it, throwing away reason for hope.
I know that the Bible doesn't say sodomy is evil. I know this because I have read the Bible, and it does not say sodomy is evil. It is not something I need to believe or not, because there is proof that sodomy is not labeled as evil at any point in the Bible. Therefore, I know the Bible does not say sodomy is evil.
The difference between belief and knowledge has been completely thrown away of late, and it's dangerous for all of us.
...jesus christ, i've gone and fucking bored myself again. i don't give a shit about what i was talking about. i'm tired of trying to fit in with a world that i don't fit in with. all of you think anal sex is evil. whatever. you think it was too much in the movie, whatever. i liked it, thought it was funny. and maybe one day i'll find my people again and not be so alone.
