Maybe the OP should have used a better word?:

Semantics aside, what kills me is why are so many people so afraid of ****'s - men or women? Jesus Christ, it's just their sex life and nobody's business anyway - it's not like they're going to eat your children and burn your house down.
Oh, I forgot! The only "good" people are "Conservatives" aka Religious Right, most of whom no doubt have had sex with their parents or other assorted farm animals - in the missionary position, of course.
