The abject lack of sex isn't a way to make sex safer. It's dodging the danger of sex, not addressing it. Abstinence has 0% effectiveness as safe sex, as the lack of sex is not at all related to safe sex.
Playing linguistics games is exactly how abstinence gets pushed in the first place. Agreeing that these games are accurate, when they are wholley not, just reinforces those regressive polices.
