Its a psychological matter, yes, now that we’re considering what people want and how they handle their wants. So its all difficult to understand, let alone control.

Your take on marriage is interesting. Its created by humans, isnt it? But all cultures all across time, you will most likely find a form of marriage. Its the one tradition or cultural norm that doesnt die.

Well said, Fira!

I think what the author meant would be the uninfected would have more choice, like for example, Joan could go with clean non-STD-infected Martin instead of the infected Maxwell. But then if people like Martin were to be infected, he would probably from the act of his careful-conscience would refrain from spreading the disease even more before he dies from it than someone like Maxwell who is promiscuous and doesnt give a damn about anyone. But then, you know…in a way, the writer said that of course Martin will do whats best for Martin instead of whats best for the community. But then Maxwell is doing whats best for Maxwell as well, so you really cant blame him you know. Eh, I forgot my point. I just wish if people want to engage in sex they should just get protection as well. Or at least just stick to one partner when they get infected with anything.

First off, I don’t think god really would care if we had sex before marriage. Marriage itself didn’t even exist in the time of Adam and Eve (i think, it couldnt possibly have existed!) so like hmm. Its just one of those things society created to encourage fixed partnerships. Even if god doesn’t care about pre-marital sex, I still probably will hold up on my principles of saving myself la. It all comes down to the matter of your own principles.
