"sex is dangerous, bad, and you should be ashamed of yourself, young lady!"

If my mother wasn't dead, I'd have thought she was behind that website!

@annewithaneee: That sounds a bit like Bill Maher making fun of conservatives: "Sex is evil! It's dirty! Save it for someone you love!"

Wow, the section on the cervix reads like a bad afterschool special. I half expect Helen Hunt to come flying out of a second story window. Check it:

"Even though these infections are common, and usually disappear with time, learning you have one can be devastating. Natural reactions are shock, anger, and confusion. Who did I get this from, and when? Was he unfaithful? Who should I tell? And hardest of all: Who will want me now?

These concerns can affect your mood, concentration, and sleep. They can deal a serious blow to your self esteem. And to your GPA."

Hear that, ladies? Get a common curable STD, nobody will ever date you again, you will hate yourself, and your grades will suffer. For some reason, they left off the part where you fail out of school and have to give handjobs for crack down at the bus depot.

This website made more sense when I misread oxytocin as Oxycontin...I figured big pharma would need to get everyone off their head in order to believe this load of utter bollocks.

"men are never, ever to be trusted"

It's an old book, but Abortion & the Politics of Motherhood really gets to the heart of anti-sex, anti-birth control, anti-abortion women: their hatred and distrust of men, which is what men who hate and distrust women always accuse FEMINISTS of.

Interesting state of affairs, that.

@La Chica Lucy: Conservatism is projection. That's why black people want to burn down all the hardworking white people's stuff, feminists hate men and want to get rid of most of them, non-Christians want to make Christianity illegal, gays want to forcibly convert you, and liberals are self-loathing in conservative world. Once you realize that movement conservatives are talking about their true desires when they straw-man a liberal cause, their issues make more sense.

One reason genital infections are so common in young women is because so many young men unknowingly carry them.

I wonder how these unknowing young men came about having them. Unknowing young women perhaps? Who did what with unknowing young men? Gasp! It's the chicken and the egg all over again! Seriously, how does her logic work? It's killing me here.

@sarasasa: Obviously young women should only have sex with other young women. It makes sense. You can trust other women and since teh menz are the ones with all the infections and cooties, you remain both emotionally and physically pristine. Problem totally solved.

Wait cancer from oral sex? I love the complete lack of sources cited in this thing. It reads something like "Some study that shall remain nameless found a mild correlation between throat cancer and oral sex given the conditions A, B, C, D and E, and provided that the participants meet condition F to begin with." -Yes, that's trustworthy enough, no one will ever know the difference.

@sarasasa: You can get throat cancer from certain strains of HPV, which is one reason that the HPV vaccine is being tested on men right now. But, yeah, the vast majority of that website is way overblown.

@AnotherJenn: Yes, new research shows that oral sex (HPV) is a significant risk factor for throat, mouth, and tonsil cancers. Though aggravation by smoking/drinking is usually also needed as a trigger for the cancerous process.

I love how the conservatives only believe in the science that conveniently backs up their outdated notions of how the world works. It's so charming.

A good way to develop a fucked up relationship with sex is to think of it as a horrible corrupting thing that is dirty dirty dirty and must be avoided unless you are doing it with someone you love very much.

I wonder if I could get a grant from these people to teach S/M to conservative women. I'd pitch it like: Restrain that young man in your life and ward off his unruly sexual advances! Encase him and yourself in full body latex catsuits before you cuddle to prevent STD transmission! Male chastity cages: how to make sure your promise ring stays on! Etc.

Where does one find statistics on things like how many "friends with benefits" situations turn into relationships. Was it on the last census?

@Notes from the underwhelmed: It was on the long form--I think they'll start sending it out with the American Community Survey. Look for it under the questions on casual sex partners, signs of depression, and the questions on whether or not you ache to have a life grow with in you. You can find it on American Factfinder under the "WIMMENZ R HOREZ" section.
