That's actually not what I'm talking about but I do work with minors who literally did not have the power to keep their pants on nor the power to bolt the door.

Conservatives, religious fanatics engage in just as much sex as everyone else. That's not what it's about. Why do you think they are trying to legislate peoples' sex lives and prevent access to reproductive autonomy? It's a concerted effort to stop the forward progress of a free people. Sideline women right out of the workforce, out of higher education, they cease to be present at the higher levels of power. Stunt their economic power, eradicate any healthy supports for children-Medicaid, healthcare, public education, and you have a weakened society willing to embrace an autocrat who surrounds himself with sycophants who just want to hoard their wealth. That's why I wrote know the enemy. Sex will always be part of the human experience, we are just saying they don't get to dictate the terms.
