We throw the word “sex” around pretty liberally. Who goes a day without hearing the phrase “Man, we totally did sex last night,” or possibly “I sexed her up good”/ My counterpart has done an admirable job stating her argument, but to truly understand the problem we need to first ask the question “What’s sex?”
Is anyone willing to explain sex to me? No one? It’s okay.

Hi there new best friend! I know some people might think it’s a little soon to call you my best friend, but it’s been two whole days now and I can’t ignore the feelings inside of me. I realized it was true last night, so I made sure to sever ties with every friend I had during high school.
