One Dildo, Two Wetsuits, One Dead Fundie

Aldridge, above, couldn’t get it up with just one wetsuit.

Thanks to loyal reader Ericsan for tipping me off to this one. The Smoking Gun tells us:

Dead Reverend’s Rubber Fetish Autopsy: Pastor found in wet suits after autoerotic mishap OCTOBER 8—An Alabama minister who died in June of “accidental mechanical asphyxia” was found hogtied and wearing two complete wet suits, including a face mask, diving gloves and slippers, rubberized underwear, and a head mask, according to an autopsy report. Investigators determined that Rev. Gary Aldridge’s death was not caused by foul play and that the 51-year-old pastor of Montgomery’s Thorington Road Baptist Church was alone in his home at the time he died (while apparently in the midst of some autoerotic undertaking). While the Montgomery Advertiser, which first obtained the autopsy records, reported on Aldridge’s two wet suits, the family newspaper chose not to mention what police discovered inside the minister’s rubber briefs.

At this point, they link to the five-page autopsy report. Page 2 of the report contains the prurient parts. After going into great detail on how the body was attired in two wetsuits and numerous straps and cords restraining the wrists and ankles, the autopsy report adds:

There is one dildo in the anus covered with a condom.

Well at least he was practicing safe sex!

Now I shouldn’t speak ill of the dead, but it appears that Rev. Aldridge also broke the law. In the state of Alabama, it is illegal to purchase a dildo. Criminal!

OK, so there are a lot of fetishists out there. Who are we to judge? Ordinarily, I wouldn’t, but look who we’re talking about here. As Cliff Schecter reports:

Aldridge had been a senior pastor at Thorington Road Baptist Church for 15 years.

and

Gary Aldridge graduated from Liberty University and later worked for the late Jerry Falwell.

In other words, he was a dedicated fundie who no doubt spent countless hours telling other people how to live their sex lives.

If they can’t stick to their own rules, they have no business foisting them upon us.
