Dennis Prager: gay soldiers can't help getting bohners in the shower

[Enrique]

He said he asked his two gay friends (who he assures us are fine people) about this concern of his.

Dennis imagines showering in a barracks full of young attractive female soldiers and confesses to his radio audience he would get wood. And so he reasons that gay male soldiers would have the same problem showering with other male soldiers. Because, he tells us, American male soldiers are very attractive (he really did say that).

His friends actually gave him an interesting (possibly obvious) answer, they said that gays are used to being in that kind of situation and they learn early how to control those reactions.

But being his friends, they were kind enough not to tell him how stupid his question is, after 17 years of DADT, if not common sense. If Dennis's theory were correct, that gays can't control their "visible arousal", then what would be the point of DADT? No gay soldier would be able to hide it so who cares if they "tell"?

1. from my decidedly female experience ...

... most, if not all, men get wood in the morning - shower or no shower, public or private.
So how the hell could anyone tell if they're sporting wood at any given time over thoughts of a female, a male, a 20 mile jog, or a cold beer?

:shrug:

9. Ohhh....cold beer....

2. hey homophobe, they are showering together now....

3. Ohio gets a Boehner every 2 years

Aroused or not.

14. Next month we'll get one every day.

It's not going to pleasurable, though.

22. Wisdom from Pfizer

"In the rare event of an erection lasting more than 4 hours—also known as priapism—seek immediate medical help to avoid long-term injury."

The Boner is going to cause a lot of long-term injury.

4. What a silly and negative question, a question that obviously

was looking from prurient responses and a question that shows no understanding of how the mind works.

8. If a little wood is the biggest concern about letting talented people serve their country...

[ladjf]

15. True, but not prevalent enough to even discuss. Nudists and those

who swim at clothes optional beaches don't walk around with erections. The are accustomed to seeing all of the human body and like adults everywhere, their sexual stimulation requires something other than simple nudity.

5. his "gay friends" like how those "some of my best friends are black"

people have black friends ?

[Enrique]

13. Prager's son's best friend is black

he wrote a column about it.

Why my son's best friend is black, by Dennis Prager

My 9-year-old son's best friend is black. This should hardly be worth writing a column about, let alone require an explanation. Unfortunately, however, it does demand such attention. Given the numbers of blacks and whites in the American population, such friendships are not nearly as common as they ought to be.

Observing these two boys' friendship, and wanting such inter-racial friendships to become far more common, I have come to a number of conclusions.

6. First of all, barracks showers are fed from 3 gallon water heaters

The hot water runs out almost immediately in a barracks. Then the rules of shrinkage apply.

Of course, if the gay guy needs to lose the wood, he can think thoughts of really hot babes.

I'm guessing that Dennis never served.

:hi:

The only "barracks shower truth": Never, ever, drop the soap.

7. Someone's protesting too much, methinks.

GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE MEN'S SHOWER, PRAGER! :spank:

[Kingofalldems]

10. He's a Chicken Hawk--he'll never know

Because he would never serve.

[moriah]

11. Why would getting wood even matter if the others aren't staring at crotches?

I mean, seriously, don't people have better things to worry about than being on boner patrol?

Any way you look at it, all of the arguments used to retain DADT are insulting, and not just to gay soldiers but straight ones as well. I think our soldiers are much more worried, especially this time of year, about when they're going to be able to see their families next than whether some guy in the shower is hot or thought they were hot.

12. Met Prager on a flight once. What a bore.

Maybe a boor, too. But talk about someone liking to hear themselves talk about nothing.

[Monk06]

16. Prager couldn't get a boner after eating a Viagra sandwitch.

17. (spits out tea all over thankfully, spill-proof keyboard)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

:rofl:


With Cialis mayo...

23. !!!

18. I think most males have resolved their "wood" in public issues by the time they graduate HS.

:eyes:

19. Back in the late '60's

I wasn't that much shocked to walk into a USMC shower to find some "straight" Marine "chokin' his chicken".

20. Prager is obviously projecting something he thinks himself about onto our troops.

Prager uses our brave troops as a straw horse to deal with his own neurotic obsession with homosexuality.

The only thing his comment reveals is a peculiar (queer) side of himself.

Most men don't think about these things.

Prager is not homosexual, but clearly he is really obsessed with sex.

[xchrom]

21. Wow - interesting - since they're there already. Nt

[terrya]

24. He can take his stupid bigotry and shove it up his ass.

Yet more proof that repealing DADT was the RIGHT thing to do.

[Jack Rabbit]

25. This begs the question . . .

. . . how would he know?
