And this is called “journalism:” where information that should be reserved for medical journals is posted as everyday banter for those who just can’t get enough sex. Daily Lobo is not a newspaper, it’s a sex tabloid. You posted this in “culture” as if this is just as much a part of our everyday lives as a cup of coffee. It obviously is for you, Mr Riley, especially when you didn’t keep this article informational but chose to immerse your “take on it.”

I totally disagree with “sick-of-it”
What, exactly, are you sick of? That the Daily Lobo is ahead of the curve at representing hot topics and sexuality and sex ed information in our paper? Ms. Riley (yes, Ms) did are great job report here when a nationally known and respected sex educator came to town. Sounds like accurate, timely and important information. Just because the topic isn’t for YOU doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be printed.

This is just pure “crap”. Now I have yet another reason to call this “newspaper” The Daily Loob.

Thanks for reminding me why I should have went out of state. This is an absolutely ridiculous excuse of an article. Did you guys need to fill space? I surely hope that was the only reason this was published. I can’t believe something this retarded is in the daily lobo. Thanks for reassuring my beliefs that the daily lobo is only good for one thing! SOMETHING TO WIPE MY ASS WITH.

After graduating from the distinguished University of New Mexico with a degree in C&J. This article is simply poor writing, poor journalism, but great subject matter. I don’t disagree with covering such progressive topics like ‘anal sex’ but to use words like “bum-bum” and “poop” seems to cheapen what could have been a well written piece. Instead this article was as crappy as the “poop” coming out of Hunetr Riley’s “bum-bum”

It is okay if he wants to discuss any subject he wants to. We are supposed to be intelligent adults at college. Maybe some students will save themselves a trip to UNMH, and not miss class with an injured anus because of this article. Thanks Hunter! :) ——->By The Way, CD if you do wipe w/ the Daily Lobo, make sure that you soften it first, or you may injure your anus.

This article is just giving out information. Something perhaps, that people might not look up on their own volition. Regardless, it’s good information to have. Stop being such a bunch of prudes! At least your school doesn’t publish articles slamming “Souped up Hondas” (yes, this was a real article at my college). At least this article is making an attempt to help people safely practice something that they might want to try.

A good mark of journalism is the willingness to diversify. Lose that, and you pigeon-hole yourself into a subset of topics that a select few people decide are worthy of publishing. You guys should be proud that your school allows such a free range of opinion and information distribution.

Hey y’all… fellow Redditor here…

The standard of what passes for “journalism” continues to be corroded. I’m glad you’re so concerned with anal sex, Mr. Hunter, and what you do with your free time is up to you. This is still somewhat of a free country, and you can publish whatever you want.

I’m against censorship as much as the next guy, but it seems that the pendulum has swung the other way, and now if you’re not obsessed with anal sex you’re a “prude” which is just as extreme as calling an average woman a “slut” for showing some leg. Give us some balance for God’s sake.

If people like “Macroeconmics major” are complaining, you’re probably doing a good job. Keep it up.

Looks like Hunter achieved his goal. The only reason he did this was to have a “Oh my god, you should have seen what I published back in college” story to tell his drinking buddies.

Joke’s on you students. You all got pawned.

Hunter Riley is a woman. This is a wonderful article Hunter! Keep up the great work!

Subject matter’s good, Hunter, with decent info, but it’s just a risqué book report if you don’t interview someone. The read would be much better if you had some quotes from the author, someone at the resource center, or at the very least some kids around campus who want to give their opinions on the joys and heartbreaks of sodomizin’.

Well then, if Hunter is a woman, I just have one thing to say: “What’s your phone number babe ?”

HOW DARE YOU? How dare you, as a journalism student, experiment in your college publication by writing content some might find too colorful or offensive? How dare you write about something people commonly do in the bedroom, but find too taboo to talk about outside of it?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Great job Hunter! Keep these coming.

All of the tarts that are moaning and groaning about this article not being appropriate probably don’t spend a great deal of time being open minded, or browsing the internet.

Although taboo (for the time being) there is absolutely nothing wrong with addressing this sort of sexual act in a newspaper. It’s refreshing and in my opinion awesome that our university is allowing such an open forum for us to be able to learn and communicate. This topic is growing in popularity and more awareness and education will lead to its acceptance. If you’re not into this kind of behavior that is just fine but some people are and that makes it ok to address.

All you crybaby students and staff who are getting all butthurt (pun intended) over this should be thanking the author. Going to school here and/or working here one needs to be prepared to take it up the ass from this administration and the legislature.

Fact.

It’s traditional that children prove how “grown up” they are by testing how far they can go once they are free from parental restraints. If they survive this period they learn a little thing called “self restraint” and the notion that “just because I CAN do something doesn’t mean I should” and they marvel at the stupid things they did. So congratulations! You have lowered the bar. If Ms. Riley’s journalistic aspirations survive to see her 35th birthday it will be interesting to see whether she includes the piece on sodomy in her portfolio. Of course, by then her children will be publishing pieces on snuffing or bestiality in the name of open mindedness.

The writing style is somewhat childish; the use of poop and bum-bum is inappropriate in an otherwise interesting take on a very common sexual practice. But if you are going to give advice on how to have anal sex, then you need to provide cautions. Even with an enema, the colon contains active colonies of various bacteria that can be harmful to humans if transferred on the finger or penis (or tongue, if we want to include other types of anal stimulation). This article should have covered hygiene and condom use as well. Hepatitis C, an incurable viral condition that can damage the liver, is easily transferred during anal sex. eColi and other bacterial infections are alsy easily transferred. Good hygiene – washing hands and penis or wiping with anti-bacterial wipes – is essential.

I think that this an example of poor journalism. The language in this story is childish and innappropriate. The quotes are horrendous. “If it hurts, that’s your body’s way of saying ‘Lets stop,’” Taormino said in an interview. “And if it hurts it means you’re not doing it right. Maybe you’re not using lube, or not warming up, or not starting small, or you’re not in the mood for it.” What about those people who have tried it and just do not enjoy anal sex?

I don’t think that the occasional sex-related article is such a bad idea. This is, after all, a university. We are supposed to be adults. Personally, I was feeling a bit “stiff” after reading her article.

I thought anal “devil” sex was illegal in the United States of America.

I agree the language here is pretty juvenile, I can almost hear Ms Riley and a friend or two giggling as they brainstorm another word more appropriate than “poopshoot”.

That said, this article should not only be welcome but required reading as UNM has been giving it to their students up the butt for years!

Isn’t it great to have a Republican senator from Massachusetts? It’s also good to have the First Amendment reaffirmed by the United States Supreme Court — even if our liberal friends are shocked and appalled at the notion of corporations sticking up for themselves.

As delicious as last week’s good news was for conservatives, You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet. We do not mean that every week will bring new conservative successes. Not at all. It is just that every month will bring fresh anguish for President Obama and his supporters.
