Riding in a car is never 100% safe. Neither is eating a sandwich. That doesn\u2019t mean we should never do these things. It does mean we should consider taking common-sense precautions, like wearing a seatbelt, not riding with a driver who\u2019s been drinking, not eating baloney that\u2019s past its expiry date, and not swallowing our food too quickly while running with scissors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sex with another person is never 100% safe either. That doesn\u2019t mean we should never do it. It does mean we should consider taking some precautions. But what exactly are we trying to prevent?
