Preacher: 8 Extreme Moments That Won't Happen On TV
3. Male Rape Leading To Fondness For Buggery
In the comic there are couple of minor characters called Bob Glover and Freddy Allen; and they are employed as Sexual Investigators. What exactly this entails is never really explained, but they seem to spend their time travelling around, investigating missing persons, and on occasion, buggering them.
At one point in the story, Herr Starr (one of the main villains and a sexual deviant in his own right) arranges a back-alley encounter with what he believes will be a female prostitute, but this pair show up instead and subject him to the kind of rough sex he most certainly is NOT partial to. After this, Starr can only get off if he's on the business end of a large strap-on.
Where to begin here. Even putting the rape aside, the fact that the encounter leads to Starr only being able to achieve orgasm through anal penetration is what has caused the most controversy, and is quite rightly seen as highly offensive to victims of sexual assault.
A lot of horrible stuff will probably happen to Herr Starr on the show, but don't expect this to be one of them.
