Люди всё ещё занимаются сексом: История песни LaTour и её цензуры.

1991 single by LaTour
LaTour told about the song in an interview, "The reaction has been 95 percent positive and the rest negative due to the word 'Aids' in the song. I guess people weren't really listening to the song very closely and when they heard the word Aids come up they'd freak out, begin to call the radio stations and say 'This is a pretty strong song — you shouldn't be playing this'. So radio stations were taking it off the air! But I'm not saying anything positive about Aids in the song. I'm not saying anything positive about SEX — it's just the way it was taken. The people complaining about it were getting into the dance beat and didn't really listen to the lyrical content." "nothing seems to stop them". In the album edit of the song, the lyrics were originally written as "This AIDS thing's not working". It was changed to "This safe thing's not working" for radio airplay. The song is built around an electronica based instrumental dance beat background and also includes LaTour’s spoken word voice speaking various lines. An audio sample of a woman saying "Hello, lover" is taken from the 1987 horror film Evil Dead II.

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that "People Are Still Having Sex" is "one of the quirkier tunes now breaking out of the Chicago club circuit", noting that "a hypnotic techno beat is topped with a detached male voice reporting the frequency at which folks continue to fornicate." He added, "Industrialists will find "Mark's Missionary Mix" by Mark Picchiotti most useful, while "Mo's Sleazy Mix" by Maurice Joshua will please house enthusiasts." A reviewer from Cashbox said the song "is excellent primer for the rest of the disc." Marisa Fox from Entertainment Weekly commented, "In a dry, radio announcer tone, LaTour (appropriately, a former producer of commercials) declares over a soundscape of racy rhythms, tinges of electronic melody, and hard hitting beats that "People Are Still Having Sex"." She added that "this hit song, about the AIDS generation's irrepressible lustfulness, has been causing controversy, mostly because it contained the word AIDS until radio censors had their way." Stephen Dalton from NME declared it as "a solidly pumping bottom line of bleep driven beats woven into LaTour's distant, deadpan commentary on biological bedroom habits."

The song's accompanying music video features early 1990s computer animation, and also features various animated backgrounds, some of which relate to the song's topic, and LaTour's live face is seen at the left and right of the screen during his speaking parts, while animation occupies the rest of the screen. The video was conceived by H Gun, creator of early videos by Nine Inch Nails and Ministry. The video of the song was featured on the animated MTV series Beavis and Butt head, on the episode "Temporary Insanity", which aired on December 10, 1994, and in the Top40 Breakers on the 13 June 1991 broadcast of Top of the Pops, where presenter Jakki Brambles said that LaTour planned a follow up called People Are Still Having Lunch. LaTour then appeared live in the studio on the 20 June 1991 broadcast of Top of the Pops with various backing artists, as the single climbed up the charts.

The song was used by American figure skater Tonya Harding for her short program in the 1991–1992 season, including at the 1992 Olympic Winter Games in Albertville. The music was one of the only one of her programs to be included in the 2017 film I, Tonya, where the program was recreated by actress Margot Robbie.
