You're assuming that STDs are the only thing keeping everyone from having 'infinite worldwide orgies'. That's certainly not the case. I think that's a very minor factor considering a condom takes most of that worry away already and most people never participate in an orgy in their life.
I do but I'm pretty kinky (and poly) :P but most people have pretty monogamous sex lives. It's societal standards that stop people from doing this, or they simply have no interest.
It's not like most married or dating couples are like "Hey will we do a movie or an orgy tonight? Let's do the movie because I'm worried about STDs". Could you really imagine that? Most people abhor the idea of having sex with lots of random people :)
In a society that didn't have all this ingrained religious programming that sex is somehow bad it might be true but this is not our reality.
- TZubiri 2y agoOh yeah, it was just hyperbole. I really do think that natural human promiscuity áttern involves more a facade of monogamy and "cheating" than simultaneous sex (I do think it's an event, and it has been claimed to be related to the mushroom shape of the glans). Cheating promsicuity is probably the case for most primates, and certainly the case for many mammals as shown by their preference to mate during the dark. It relates to paternity certainty and mate jealousy/protection, which is again, present in most species.
