The straight community is much less promiscuous than homosexuals. Sure, anyone can get it but just like AIDS it will never really take hold.
Some, although not many, will. There's open marriages out there *cough*WillSmith*cough* And then there's basic teenagers with their hormones in overdrive. But there's also women out there who are NOT married and just dating who don't know the sexual history of the guy she's intimate with. And those women, much less the men - will spread it also (pun intended). My pet political peeve is the complete irresponsibility of the Legacy Media. They take the position that if you insist on monogamy, you're some kinda Cisgender Homophobic Bigot and then start saying that unlimited sex without responsibility is A-OK. Meanwhile, those Cisgender bigots, what idiots. But when you take the position that abstaining = bad and promiscuity = good, then you ultimately remove all self-control from people who need it the most - and the next thing you know, you got STD's spreading faster than Paris Hilton can spread her legs. I mean, sure it's gonna spread like wildfire in the gay community, I totally agree - but I'm saying that eventually - and maybe even now - it's gonna start spreading into the straight community too. Not anywhere near as fast and it will take far longer, but ultimately it will get there.
with same gender marriage legal now, that is less true- single people tend to have more partners but even with marriage, some will have affairs, how many times did our last President cheat on his wives?
AIDS spread due to contamination of the blood system to the rest of the population. It did spread to women from their male bisexual spouses and still does - especially in Africa. Why hasn't AIDS become an even greater epidemic now? Hmm? If it spread through the evil heterosexuals who supposedly all do anal sex . . . Everyone would have it. Who does have it? Homosexuals males still. In fact, refraining from male-male homosexual sex is still a requirement for giving blood. And these are just the ones who admit they are homosexual. A large number still stay in the closet. Homosexuals do not practice monogamy. If they did, AIDS would be as common as polio. The monkey virus is more easily spread and could spread through heterosexual sex. So, if heterosexuals sleep around as much as homosexuals do, we should see a huge million+ outbreak among the heterosexuals . . . However, just like AIDS, one might find the heterosexuals primary get infected through direct contact with male homosexuals.
Again, I agree that both AIDS and Monkey Pox will be highest in the gay community - but my takeaway from all this is that people here think it will somehow be a minor blip in the straight community. I highly doubt it will be as widespread there as it will be for the gays but I believe the potential is there for it to be somewhat of a concern for straights. As I said previously, I have a magic wedding ring that prevents this from happening to my wife and I.
OH! You have articles on the internet. Well then it must be true Like Honest Abe Lincoln said, if it's on the internet, you can believe it.
Someone should make a Venn diagram of the individuals that believe gay people should refrain from sex for months when they also believe wearing a mask for a few moments in a store was tyranny. I bet it would be a perfect circle. Even though this one has a 0% chance of death in the US (thus far)
