Zuzu at Feministe comments on a site advocating "organic sex", which turns out to be an apparent appropriation of the language of the organic food/healthy living movement in the service of religious anti-sex, anti-contraceptive goals. This sort of appropriation is clearly not new (e.g. "greenwashing" in the corporate world) but it is new for the anti-sex crowd, I think. While this sort of thing doesn't post much threat to people with a solid background in sexual health, I agree with the final assessment offered in zuzu's post -- it makes the dissemination of accurate information that much more difficult when misinformation is passed on under seemingly well-intentioned health concerns.

Yeah to me having organic sex means to have sex with someone who only eats organic food. I wonder if there is a certification board for that, can be certified organic for sex purposes?
I can't be though because all pervasive biologically indestructable chemicals have pervaded our food chain and atmosphere for the past 150 years or so, maybe more depending on who you read.
Whilst birth control (pills at least) carry serious health risks "especially if you're a smoker over 35". It's not the only method of birth control. Want to have organic sex? The closest thing to it is masturbation but as I said you're not even all organic.
