I have always assumed this is what she meant tho of course, in this context, sex
kills has always been true. Prior to the discovery of penicillin 64000 people died
from syphilis per year, just in the UK.
Okay, I get the point that it isn't sex itself that kills but the virus or bug one
get get from having sex. However, i think many people have this idea that sex
kills in their psych and with good reason.
It's seems to be a bit like saying that it isn't the jump off that tall building
that killed you but the ground you hit. Technically this correct-the jump didn't
harm you at all.
I have never had to practise safe sex. If was single again, i don't think i'd have
sex ever again. For a variety of reasons, lack of spontaneity, fear of the damn
condom breaking, and......well you get the idea! Paranoid about it? yes, of
course.
