It's easy to find shock videos on the internet but it's harder to actually sort through the data.
Shock videos? I linked Wikipedia and the facts in the video I linked are still facts.
[qutoe]While it is true MSM relations have a higher risk of transmission of HIV and syphillis overall these transmission rates are down from the past 50 years. [/quote]
Not so fast . . .
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with mena account for 70% of new HIV infections in the United States.
In 2014, gay and bisexual men made up an estimated 2% of the U.S. population, but accounted for 70% of new HIV infections. Approximately 492,000 sexually active gay and bisexual men are at high risk for HIV
Gay and bisexual men accounted for 82% (26,376) of new HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 and older and 67% of the total new diagnoses in the United States.f
Gay and bisexual men aged 13 to 24 accounted for 92% of new HIV diagnoses among all men in their age group and 27% of new diagnoses among all gay and bisexual men.
• A much higher proportion of gay and bisexual men are living with HIV compared to any other group in the United States. Therefore gay and bisexual men have an increased chance of having an HIV-positive partner.
• 1 in 6 gay and bisexual men living with HIV are unaware they have it. People who don’t know they have HIV cannot get the medicines they need to stay healthy and prevent transmitting HIV to their partners. Therefore, they may transmit the infection to others without knowing it.
• Most gay and bisexual men get HIV through having anal sex without condoms or medicines to prevent or treat HIV. Anal sex is the riskiest type of sex for getting or transmitting HIV. Receptive anal sex is 13 times as risky for getting HIV as insertive anal sex.
• Gay and bisexual men are also at increased risk for other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), like syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Condoms can protect from some STDs, including HIV.

Anal penetration is not inherently immoral between two healthy adults.
That is your opinion. We can know what is right/good based on shape/form/function/design/consequences/harm/biology/science/the way the world works, etc. By acknowledging the facts/science we can know what is right/good and in man’s best interest. From observation, reason, and logic we can conclude anal sex is disordered and not in man’s best interest.
Which would be fine if you hadn't misrepresented my words
I did not misrepresent your words – you misrepresented mine. Your comments that since there is some research that shows animals can think and reason somehow ought to suggest the same rules that apply to animals should apply to humans does not logically follow. A 5th grader could appreciate the unreasonable of such a suggestion
Let's stick to the topic and not have a flame war eh?
One man’s flame is another man’s zeal and passion. Many enjoy a good heated debate – to those who don’t perhaps the old expression, “If you can’t stand the heat . . . could be good advise.
