Abstinence is Dangerous

This story on unsafe sex practices lumps people who don't have any sex into the same category as people who do not use prophylactics. That's lunacy. Abstinence is certainly crushing to the self-esteem, and I am almost certain that it is dangerous to mental health, but it hardly increases the risk or prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases.

The article also reveals that roughly twice as many women as men don't have any sex at all. I'm not sure what my point is here other than I feel like I should try harder and maybe improve both of those percentages.
