A mother was arrested for breastfeeding her baby

... — a decade? Two decades? More? Now, think about all of the sexual interactions that took place between men and women in that period of time.

for example in one minute...

... under an epigraph from T. S. Eliot saying that existence is "birth, and copulation, and death," come new figures. Every minute, 34.2 million men and women copulate. Only 5.7 percent of all intercourse results in fertilization, but the combined ejaculate, at a volume of forty-five thousand liters a minute, contains 1,990 billion (with deviations in the last decimal place) living spermatozoa. The same number of female eggs could be fertilized sixty times an hour with a minimal ratio of one spermatozoon to one egg, in which impossible case three million children would be conceived per second. But this, too, is only a statistical manipulation.
...
The surprise I spoke of has a different cause. Humanity pumps 53.4 billion liters of blood per minute, but that red river is not surprising; it must flow to sustain life. At the same time, humanity's male organs eject forty-three tons of semen, and the point is that though each ejaculation is also an ordinary physiological act, for the individual it is irregular, intimate, not overly frequent, and even not necessary. Besides, there are millions of old people, children, voluntary and involuntary celibates, sick people, and so forth. And yet that white stream flows with the same constancy as the red river system.

The average time for rape is between 8 and 9 years in the US not life in prison.

Between 8 and 9 years for child rapists? Sex offender laws were originally created to target child rapists, but there is no way a child rapist is getting less than a decade in prison. Maybe 8 and 9 years is the average for college students who took advantage of a drunk 20 year old girl during a party.

Sorry but I don't "hate" you for this, and you should stop with this kind of talk it makes you sound like you're 15, I admit I have no respect for your opinion in this area, but "you hate me" just stop.

Thank You. Okay, I will stop saying "hate", but you sound like an extremist religious person who thinks consensual sex is harmful to 16 and 17 year olds. Don't get me wrong, I know you are not extremist.

You have no psychological or medical evidence that consensual sex is harmful. I respect your opinion, you should respect mine. As society we won't get anywhere without having any tolerance.

Just remember that our justice system doesn't come from God. Humans used to think it was wrong for a black man to marry a white woman, so laws and cultural assumptions aren't always right.

But thanks for the clarification, and I am sorry for saying you hate me. It is childish.

Cool statistic, I wonder how many of the 34 million are affairs.

Stanisław Lem's fictitious criticism of nonexisting books may be found in his following works: in three collections of faux reviews of fictitious books: A Perfect Vacuum (Doskonała próżnia, 1971), Provocation (Prowokacja, 1984), and Library of 21st Century (Biblioteka XXI wieku, 1986) translated as One Human Minute, and in Imaginary Magnitude (Wielkość Urojona, 1973), a collection of introductions to nonexistent books.

Good thing New York City does not do this or their alleyways would be the largest producer of sex offenders in the world.

The R. Kelly laws are all too often ignored

Of course Utah has to be in the list.
