is for Anus. In gay pornography written after Stonewall, the violated and deflowered rectum became macho. In the late 1960s, writers typically described it as a delicate, quivering flower, a passive, plundered aperture that timidly accepted the assaults of the active partner. The new militarized, gay liberation asshole, by contrast, doesn't just simply lie down and take it but actually fucks back, sloughing off the fancy floral similes invented by the rectal poets of the 1960s to become an active agent, a "hungry, greedy" meat eater that devours its prey.
