SADDLEBACKING DEFINED!

Ok, I am a huge Dan Savage fan, even got the chance to hear him speak at Schwartz' Bookstore (the Shorewood location) few years back... I think I was even amongst the first five in line to get their shiny new copy of Skipping Towards Gommorrah signed.

A few years back, Dan and his readers "invented" and defined a new word: santorum (1. The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.) in reaction to Sen Rick Santorum's far right wing policy making.

The new word for the year is "Saddlebacking"

Saddlebacking: sad•dle•back•ing \ˈsa-dəl-ˈba-kiŋ\ vb [fr. Saddleback Church] (2009): the phenomenon of Christian teens engaging in unprotected anal sex in order to preserve their virginities

After attending the Purity Ball, Heather and Bill saddlebacked all night because she’s saving herself for marriage. Unfortunately her parents found out because they got santorum all over the sheets.

In Dan's own words from his column:

"Here's why this definition is perfect: Saddlebacking, like barebacking, involves one person riding up on another's backside. But in this case, it's not the bare-naked cock-in-ass that's the most important feature of the ride, but the fact that the person being ridden has been saddled—thanks to the efforts of the Rick Warrens of this world—with religious hang-ups and serious misconceptions about sex. Like the barebacker who casually tosses away his health—or his partner's health—because he believes, quite erroneously, that "risky = sexy," the saddlebacker offers up her ass because she believes, quite erroneously, that she can get fucked in the ass—vigorously, religiously—and still be considered a virgin on her wedding night.

I've set up a website—www.saddlebacking.com—to popularize the new definition. (Get to work, Google bombers!) Now let's get this term into common usage as quickly as possible."
