Because it causes direct personal harm to another or another's property.

Therefore drugs should be legal. As should alcohol. And prostitution. And many, many things that are illegal.

As far as "sex education," beyond the biological facts of sex, I don't really care what schools teach though I think too much time is spent on it regardless of the specific pedagogy. The negative results of sex are generally not the result of stupidity but rather immaturity and you can't really educate children out of that. School should not be about creating "good people." Telling the various facts about sex is not "intruding in our sex lives." Criminalizing certain types of sex or mandating others would be intruding on our sex lives.
