“It is almost universally said that HIV and other STIs are acquired from sex. It is inherently antisexual in tone; in this manner of speaking, the diseases are linguistically blamed on sex. In a parallel context, we do not refer to colds or tuberculosis as BTIs, or breathing transmitted infections!”

Teach about contraception in school, go to jail
A Wisconsin prosecutor is warning sex education teachers they could face charges if they follow a new state law that allows them to instruct students about proper contraceptive use.
A letter sent to five school districts by Juneau County Dist. Atty. Scott Southworth said the instruction could amount to contributing to the delinquency of a minor if teachers know students are sexually active. He said the districts should drop sex education until the Legislature repeals the law.
Southworth also argued that teaching contraceptive use encourages sexual behavior among children, which equates to sexual assault because minors can’t legally have sex in Wisconsin.
I think Juneau should see Juno.

Good sexual intercourse lasts minutes, not hours | Science Blog
I think most of us really don’t have the time or inclination to be literally having sex for hours, anyway. The common myths about sex are kind of amusing and tragic.
