There are a lot of things that aren't always a sex act but can be in the right circumstances, arguably most things.
Do you think it's important to get consent from people before sharing your medical history?
Regardless, it's possible to discuss sex in ways that aren't as private as medical history; it's a common element in comedy, theater, and art.
Multiple things can shield abusers. Consent and discussion of it is absolutely foremost, but if sex is taboo it makes conversation about sexual consent much rarer and less organic.
Any topic can make people uncomfortable, sex, religion, politics, death; all things to avoid in polite company, but they're also a big part of life and should be discussed freely imo.
