Catholic priest tells children gay sex is 'like cramming a bagel into your ear' [View all]

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/catholic-priest-tells-children-gay-6251833

Reverend John Riccardo was speaking at a conference called 'Welcoming and Accompanying Our Brothers and Sisters with Same-Sex Attraction' in Michigan.

The gathering aimed to promote celibacy amongst Catholics with same sex-sex attraction.

The cleric told the attendees how he often explains gay sex to junior high students, the Advocate reports.

He said he tells them: "What if I just rip open a bagel, I take it, and I cram it in my ear. What would you say?”


Granted, I've never had sex with another man; however I'm pretty sure if it's like that, then you're doing it wrong.
