I once asked a gay man in a ‘committed relationship’ why they do this?
His response: ‘We don’t equate sex with love.’ The two are unrelated feelings.
My response: ‘So, sex is a ‘sport’ for ‘entertainment’ value?’
His response: ‘Yes, basically. Like a carnival ride or whatever else you do for pleasure and fun.’
He was dismissive of the disease factor although he lives in one the nations highest AIDS sectors.
[He (60YO) was once married with 2 daughters. His wife died of cancer. He married a man, then divorced. Now he’s engaged to another guy.]
This outlook isn’t exclusive to homosexuals, et. al.
The majority of the straight population pretty much sees it that way too. Divorce rate is above 70 percent, and 4 out of 5 divorces are initiated by women, not men.
Marriage is for kids. To have and raise kids. Outside of that it is now all risk, especially for the male.
