Examples

“We have⟳ erected, perhaps in place⟳ of other erections, entire structures of intelligibility and comprehensibility on and around the pandemic, structures that themselves render AIDS normative and routine: the business of AIDS, constructed and carried on around an impossible object, has become⟳—like⟳ genocide, nuclear terror, racism, misogyny, and heteronormativity (or what I would prefer⟳ to call⟳ orthosexuality)—business as usual.”

“To prevent⟳ these unintended pregnancies, it is time to take⟳ a new approach⟳ to sex education -- orthosexuality. Ortho is from the Greek meaning proper or correct⟳, thus orthosexuality is a method of sex education that focuses on correctly channeling the sexual drive⟳ while emphasizing the importance of preventing pregnancy, AIDS and other sexual diseases.”

“[…] from ads in naichi (metropolitan) magazines and newspapers published inside Japan[,] in that the regulative ideal of orthosexuality was not assumed to be reproductive, monogamous marriage. In Dalian, as everywhere in the Japanese colonies, a healthy sex life for men free from what the ad calls the "bad habit of masturbation" (akushu onani) and "debilitating sexual neurasthenia" (seiteki shinkei suijaku) would begin⟳ for most Japanese men by hygienically following the advice in the colonial newspaper's weekly column called "Using the Red-Light District" (karyūshi).”
