Still, a bit of an odd usage, though. Opposed is far more usual. (Google agrees: opposed [49.4 million] vs apposed [0.29 million]).

Alas, the full phrase "as sex to" has only 13000 hits.

But, yes, it is more usual to sex than to appose.

Is appose an american-ism maybe?

Oxford, my usual source of everything words has apposition, but not appose.

However my 1980 edition of Funk & Wagnalls agrees with me. And also Xen. So, it should be declared correct. Yes, it should.
