Sex ed

Yesterday's news featured a big splash on STDs, complete with entertaining stock-market-style graphics - chlamydia +6%, genital herpes +5% to 30,126*

Sadly, the BBC also chose to uphold the time-worn and counter-productive tradition of using markedly sexless persons to highlight the dangers of the fun that all the rest of us are having and about which they, the possibly-entirely-theoretical experts, seem more than a little bitter.

Or, as Richard Brautigan wrote:
HE KISSED ALL NIGHT by Susan Margar. The author was a very plain middle-aged woman who looked as if she had never been kissed.
