You don't hear me tossing words around like "promiscuity" as if there's something wrong with that.

There's something wrong with that when it gets people killed.

You mean, like . . . driving? Or eating rare meat?

Okay, y'all fuck everything that moves if it's what floats your boat but don't then turn around and demand that everyone else has to pay for the ramifications of your good time.

Don't go making assumptions on things I haven't written there sir! You hate it when people do it to you!

I simply suggest, as humans, we do many things that are dangerous. Sex is the one that keeps us going as a species though.

Then have monogamous sex. Monogamous gay people are at very little risk of contracting AIDS or any other STD.

Zero fucks given for needle users. Sorry.

Didn't ask for you to be sorry, just pointing out a fact

Unless they get Hepatitis from food prepared by someone who is sick ... not all STDs are transmittable just through sex. Zika is an example of something that can be an STD, but generally transmitted by parasite.

I can think of a dozen ways to get HIV/AIDS that doesn't involve sex. You are right, monogamy is the best way to prevent STDs. But there are still plenty of people out there taking risks that our health systems may have to absorb the cost if things turn out badly.

Risk is how we progress as a species. There is no way we are going to stop people taking risks, and therefore there will always be consequences to that risk.

That's why it's called 'insurance'.

[BartSimpson]

Some risks are to be avoided.

Like when you meet up with friends in an abandoned house and someone cooks some heroin, shoots up, and then passes you the needle in a friendly way asking if you'd like some, too.

It's your own damned fault if you say 'Yes'.

[DrCaleb]

I totally agree. But we also take a huge volume of extremely explosive material, put people on top and launch them to a mostly air tight and slightly radioactive protective tin can in orbit.

Some risks are worth it.

Oh, yeah, I agree.

Sort of akin to voluntarily going to a dry and sandy place and getting shot at all while doing your very best to kill the person shooting at you.

Totally worth it.

You all better leave my promiscuous sex alone!!!

Will do!!!

Scottish orgy?

Hah Hah! Hamish got the ugly one!

It's called serial monogamy these days. Which people who still use the word promiscuity usually think is the same thing.

When my last kid was on the way some celebrity named her kid Chastity. Used to bug my wife that if it was a girl, we'd name it Promiscuity - after her.
