The anus is not designed to be invaded. It contains feces and heaps of E Coli bacteria. It’s an exit point for toxic waste, not an entry point for Willy Wiener.
Women develop urinary tract infections because their anuses are a very short distance from the opening of their urethras. E Coli does that.
The g0ys are challenging the anal ethic.
Because G0YS, -by our very nature, find the entire notion of AnalSex in any form to be dirty, dangerous, degrading & damn-un-masculine; -By shunning casual sexual encounters & completely rejecting AnalSex, G0YS avoid the very perils that spread +98% of ALL STI's/STD's among men! Among g0ys, STDs/STIs are virtually nonexistent compared to the STD/STI figures for the GAY-male community (which, according to the Red Cross - is +4000% higher than the general population)! So, while "GAY"-men are plagued with STDs/STIs; - G0YS are NOT!

The erotic pleasure in anal penetration is so minimal, and, when joined with promiscuity, the dangers anal presents to its practitioners and the community so great, that it's difficult to conceive of a practice more ruinous or less enjoyable taking center place in a sexual subculture.
These dangers, of which HIV/AIDS is the best known, but which include hepatitis B and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, the human papilloma virus, herpes, and a host of other pathogens, will persist even after AIDS has been cured or can be prevented through vaccination.
And more anally-transmitted diseases most certainly await discovery.
For anal penetration is an exceptionally efficient mode of disease transmission, and we can be sure that pathogens will continue to find an infective niche in anal.
In addition, no magic or wishful thinking can transform either the anus or the rectum into genital organs, nor can the feelings experienced by someone being penetrated anally be compared to those of genital stimulation.
Further, anal penetration subjugates one of the participants to the other, effectively emasculating him, turning him into a pseudo-woman, a proxy in a heterosexualized form of contact. This is an inherently unequal act, epitomized by its tedious terminology of "tops" and "bottoms," which is unmindful of the basic human need for a shared experience without pain and with dignity.
Whereas Frot, phallus-against-phallus contact, is the acme of sexual activity between Men because it's focused on that which makes Men Masculine, namely their genitals -- their Manhood -- rather than their organs of fecal excretion.
And there's a subreddit dedicated to these people who are against anal sex: https://old.reddit.com/r/g0ys/comments/ ... y/fdga0ad/
You're right that nothing is truly harmless. Even frot and mutual masturbation has theoretical risks. However, I call them harmless because that risk is low enough to be negligible.
As such, there's no anal activity that comes close to frot, mutual masturbation, and other like acts in being low-risk. Yes, there are certain anal acts that pose relatively less risk compared with other anal acts. Having said that, in the big picture, any kind of anal play is high-risk. They might vary slightly in intensity of their risk, but they are all objectively high risk.
> "Fecal matter is almost omnipresent in human spaces."
That’s true. However, the concentration of that matter is different. The concentration and number of fecal bacteria on a table or door handle will always be lower than the bacteria’s source (the anus).
Doing anal play safely takes lots of preparation and precaution. It takes far more effort than vaginal sex, and certainly much more than frot.
If it takes so much energy to make safe, when does the precaution needed become absurd? When exactly does the preparation needed become too ridiculous to be practical?
Most importantly, if that preparation is too extensive to make sense, is the act worth doing to begin with?

What sex act requires extensive protection from physical injury like anal sex?
And what I specifically mean by dysfunctional: it causes physical injury every time, carries an extremely high risk for STDs unmatched by other acts, and yet is constantly promoted as valid. Is sex supposed to be so risky? When does the risk become absurd?
Even "gay" doctors (as mentioned in the M2M Alliance article) say that there's no physiological basis for anal orgasm.
From the M2M Alliance link, as it quotes a "gay" doctor: "Most of the nerve endings that sense pleasure are at the outside of your anus or within the first two inches. The rest of your rectum and colon do not have nerves that sense pleasure. While many will disagree with me, there is no physiological basis for most of the pleasure you derive higher up in your colon. There is definitely a psychological pleasure."

Don't hierarchies of risks exist? In that case, how high does anal rank in that hierarchy? Which level should be marked as unacceptable risk?

Anal is gross. You always make contact with fecal matter during anal, even if it's trace amounts. Do you dispute that?

You can believe whatever you want. You can believe the Earth is flat, the sky is purple, and that you can grow 50 fingers. But is it based on fact?
In this link, feces is considered a biohazard, which means it can be dangerous to your health.
