your point being that risk R of activity A, for a specific activity A, is not zero?

Is this not a truism?

Is anything free of risk?

Security is relative.

Ask any security professional if there is any such thing as absolute security. You will get the same answer.

Security measures should be appropriate to risk, and choosing security measures based on risk is somewhat arbitrary and subjective.

Sex (the horror? the horror?) is a biological function, like eating and drinking. This is, to borrow a phrase from a popular movie, part of the “cycle of life.”

Neither eating, nor drinking, nor sex (the horror? the horror?) is risk free.

Ever.

However, eating, drinking, and sex in the aggregate propagate our species, just like with every other species on earth. This implies that eating, drinking and sex in the aggregate is not unhealthy.

If you seek absolute physical security, you could consider (in theory) the notion of locking yourself up in an isolation cell, and throw away the key. If your isolation cell is effective then your risk of dying from random sex with someone else is reduced to zero.

Those who surrender freedom for security will have neither freedom nor security.
