I came across the following article, and at first I thought, “Hey wow, that’s cool, women are opening up more and more to explore their sexual needs.” Then I read past the headline. What a piece of shit. I don’t pretend to be a writer, I’m quite sloppy going about my word-smithing, but I do know a thing or two about statistics and science. I hope to arm you with enough knowledge and wisdom to spot poor sexual information & advice.
The first thing to know is, you can make statistics say anything you want. Let’s take a look at the following chart and manipulate it to say things it really doesn’t:
Disingenuous interpretation: “Wow! As a white heterosexual male or lesbian female, I’m not in any risk group for HIV. COMMENCE WITH THE FUCKING!”
Proper Interpretation: “Hmm, this chart lists 85% of the High-Risk groups, as a heterosexual white male or lesbian female I may not be high-risk for HIV, and thus not represented on the chart, but it doesn’t mean we can’t contract it, lets get some protection!”
