	The Web of Human Sexual Contacts
		Small-world networks may belong to three classes--single-scale, broad-scale, or scale-free--depending on their connectivity distribution P(k), where k is the number of links connecting to a node [8].
		Connections in the network of sexual contacts appear and disappear as sexual relations are initiated and terminated.
		Hence, the possibility that the web of sexual contacts has a scale-free structure indicates that strategic targeting of safe-sex education campaigns to those individuals with a large number of partners may have a significant effect in reducing the propagation of sexually-transmitted diseases.

	Sexual Conduct Policy
		Sexually abusive behavior within the college community is harmful to both the learning environment and the sense of community the college is trying to foster among students, faculty, staff, and administrators.
		Consent to sexual activity may be withdrawn at any time, as long as the withdrawal is communicated clearly (because you cannot be expected to read the mind of your sexual partner(s)), and all sexual activity must cease.
		Attempts to commit sexual assault or rape are also prohibited under this policy, as is aiding the commission of sexual misconduct as an accomplice.

	Sexual Network Patterns Contribute to Racial Disparities in Disease Risk
		Respondents were also asked for information on the sexual activity of two of their partners; on the basis of this information, these partners were assigned to the appropriate sexual activity group.
		The analysis of interracial networks revealed that fl men and women are the least likely to have sexual partners outside their racial group.
		According to the investigators, their findings regarding intraracial and interracial networks would not have been detected in a study of individual risk factors alone, but required a concentration on behavior patterns within populations and a focus on both infected and uninfected persons.
