In one of our favorites, “Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan,” J.G. Ballard uses a deadpan scholarly tone and
citations
from mock-scientific studies to associate Reagan with Hitler, homoeroticism, and “anal-sadistic fantasies.”
Ballard's
narrator cites slow-motion film studies comparing Reagan's, Nixon's, and Hitler's facial muscles during campaign
speeches with images of rectal stimulation, and he describes multi-track videos of a simulated Reagan having
intercourse
with
Vietnamese child-atrocity victims. We hope
you enjoy the
following excerpt, in
which participants in
clinical
trials find Reagan's transverse colon the most sexually stimulating part of his anatomy.
