"Doggy style" is not anal sex in modern SAE usage.

It is generally vaginal intercourse where the woman is on all fours and the man enters her from behind, either on his knees, or standing.

There is a lot more to it all than what can be documented. Having suffered a whole lifetime being bottled up and nearing suicide turning into a rat in a cave scared of light, I am forced to believe Allah could not have meant my life to be such while I had no control over the way was or am. I wonder if I had to spend 40 years like that. Surely Ghafoor ur Rahim could not have planned such for me. And then I read upon the ways and means of expression of love between those of high stature and things get even more confusing. Surely a lot of those ways might be considered sinful today. Yet since these acts were that of those high in ranks, somehow it is all respected. Some of those ways are followed to date in the Arab world. Oh Allah. What to do. I surely wish I was "normal". For the people you created and the constant judgements made my life a living hell. I am sure you had or have better plans for those like me.

i'm not sure what exactly the argument in this essay is, but the author may want to check foucault's work on the history of sexuality (i know, a very banal advice, but it might help re-frame the argument and thus guide the analysis).
