word of the day: "saddlebacking"

| | comments (2)

Coined by sex columnist Dan Savage: saddlebacking:

Saddlebacking: 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.

Savage explains how the word and definition came about in a recent column.

Ironic, given that Saddleback is the name of Rick Warren's church.
It's not ironic -- that's the entire intended point.
