Having sex is like throwing rocks at windows?

In a candidate for worst analogy ever, Washington Post lifestyle reporter Laura Sessions Step writes in her new book that
"Your body is your property," she warns girls, "Think about the first home you hope to own. You wouldn't want someone to throw a rock through the front window, would you?"
The blogosphere is generating lots of handy corrolaries:
We all know it is the husband who is supposed to throw rocks through the windows of your home. This should be done frequently, and ONLY through the same window - never through the back door or other windows.

Your body is your property. Think about the first home you hope to own. You want to have a big party and invite all your friends over.

Your body is your property ... Think about the first home you hope to own. If you ever get in trouble with money, you can always rent it out for use by strangers.

Your body is your property ... Think about the first home you hope to own. You want the carpet to match the drapes.

Your body is your property. Think about the first home you hope to own. Odds are it's going to be a fixer-upper and will need some major improvements to make it attractive. A larger front porch, for example.
