Letter: Less sex, please

Sir: I enjoyed Deborah Orr's article "Is sex our only pastime?" (Comment, 7 September). It certainly seems to be a pastime constantly examined by writers on The Independent. In the same Review section there were other articles on the subject entitled "How to get your sex education by reading the papers", "How can I become a prostitute?" and "What the public told Channel 4 about `Queer as Folk' ", plus a story about a 1982 rape interview. When Deborah Orr tells her step-children that "this stuff is not suitable for them to watch" she'd better shove the paper underneath the sofa.
