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

I didn't say it was invalid, I said it was odd.

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.
