I suspect Clarity was thinking about unprotected sex with somebody they’ve already been in a stable monogamous relationship for a while (possibly partly because they want a baby), whereas polymathwannabe was thinking about something more like a one-night stand with a stranger. But if the latter is right, the dramatization ain’t that unnecessary, at least in certain geographical locales.
The intention of comparison is, basically, “unnecessary dramatisation”.

In such geographical locales a lot of things, starting with just being there, tend to be a matter of life and death.
