A lot of bird species mate for life. Humans have no such monogamy gene; therefore with us, being faithful is a sign of how evolved and honorable a person is. Keeping one's word is a necessary virtue, IMO.

This figure therefore represents a fairly accurate picture of what percentage of people are really honorable.

And, of course, spreading STD's is wrong, intentionally or not.

Why do you keep going on about STDs? I didn't see anything saying either of them had one.

Having sex in an airport bathroom isn't inherently wrong, nor is cheating uncommon. The only reason that these people are being pilloried for stuff that many other people do is that they are media targets; in addition, many folks feel that people in positions of authority deserve to be "taken down a peg."

Just pointing out that sleeping around freely can lead to all sorts of problems, thus explaining why I believe it to be wrong.

There's no problem when you do it with people you know not to have such STDs.

Sorry, I meant freely with people you don't really know.

Ah, well that is a fairly bad idea, agreed.
