There's wide, wide middle ground between celibacy and the debauched status quo.

And where in that middle ground are you trying to insert yourself?

I don't think that attending "100% bareback, no loads denied" orgies regularly is a good idea, yet a bunch of my queer friends do exactly that on a fairly regular basis.

I know it's not popular, but AIDS is just what we have now. If people continue living like this, there will be another, and it might be worse. Hell, we probably already dodged a bullet with Monkeypox due to concomitant COVID precautions.

Lol, no one was observing COVID precautions at that point. It was dodged because people got vaccinated for it and observed spacing requested in a responsible manner.

Hell, in the UK heterosexual cases of AIDs overtook homosexual cases because of adherence to medication and good practice. [1]
