Humans are meant to have ONE Sexual Partner for LIFE. Period.
If you wish to circumvent this and go out on your own—then well that is why STD’s, HIV, unwanted pregnancies are here today.
The Romans and Greeks wanted to have lots of partners and experience it all. Well they don't exist today. In the Human Plan (designed by God himself), we are to be committed to one another, one man and one woman. Play with the fire and guaranteed you burn each and every time.

1. Says who?
1 1/2. What if your partner dies while you're young? How about divorced in a manner prescribed in the bible itself? Several characters in the bible had more than one partner.
2. Syphilis has been around longer than the bible has. "Unwanted" pregnancies for much longer than that.
3. Both the Greeks and the citizens of Rome, Italy are doing quite well I'm sure.
"The Romans and Greeks wanted to have lots of partners and experience it all. Well they don't exist today. "
Because they let christians run amuck in their countries. If they hadn't done that they might still be here.
Of the roughly 4,000 species of mammals on this planet, only 3% are monogamous. Of those 3%, only about 10% actually remain faithful to their partner. Humans are NOT in that 3%.
The Romans and Greeks are still around today, they just happen to live in Italy and Greece.
That being said, you do need to be careful with your partners practice safe sex, and if you are married, do be faithful.

I couldn't get pass the ewwww factor of that line, imagining the sheer awfulness of being stuck for life with that loser from 1972.
actually, the human penis has a shovel like head because it was useful for removing the sperm of the most recent sexual partner of any given female such that the genes of the new sexual partner may be passed on instead.
STD's (which includes HIV btw) are on (a) completely different evolutionary path(s). While they don't strictly deny the existence of a supreme being, I can see how it's difficult to acknowledge that they're existence isn't strictly woven into ours. For example, HIV is a mutation of SIV -- a sexually transmitted disease that has absolutely nothing to do with humans. I'd imagine it's shcoking to learn that FIV (feline immuno-deficiency virus) also exsts and again has nothing to do with humans but is the HIV equivalent for cats. If HIV is a punishment for adultery (or fags or whatever is in vogue this week) then what's the purpose of FIV? To kill adulterer's cats? To kill cheating cats? To kill cats in general cause it's fun? What?

Even back then, I knew I could do better ... And I did, many years later. (But that didn't prevent me from having lots of fun in the interim, and I don't regret any of it.)
One of my professors from last year would be dismayed to learn that Greeks no longer exist. Because I definitely remember seeing him and hearing him lecture in a Greek accent. I guess that was a hallucination, since Greeks clearly don't exist.
Yes, I know the moron means to say their empire collapsed, but what he DID was shove them in the nonexistence corner, and that amuses me.
Also: sex does not cause empires to collapse! Having inefficient rulers and being invaded by barbarians does! Why must they reduce everything to morality or ideology when just plain politics explains it better?
How do you know humans are meant to have one sexual partner for life? Citation would be nice.
Even if you do have only one sexual partner, unwanted pregnancies can occur. And as long as you use protection, you're pretty much safe from disease. And you can get HIV from other ways than sex, you know.
The ancient Romans and Greeks were around for a pretty long time! No civilization can last forever.
First, Rome and Greece both still exist. Look at a map.
Also, how do you explain me? How do you explain the fact that your god has not punished me with HIV or any other STD? Or, any unwanted pregnancies? I won't share my sexual history with the world, but I've had way more than one sexual partner in my 40 years.
Oh, wait. Condoms. The Pill. Foam. Other things that fall under the category of protection. They couldn't have anything to do with that now, could they?
Nuts: Actually, the human penis has a shovel like head because it was useful for removing the sperm of the most recent sexual partner of any given female such that the genes of the new sexual partner may be passed on instead.
Well, I learned something today.
I;m sure I won't be the first, but there are plenty of Romans (true, no Caesars) and Greeks alive and well on Planet Earth.
Even in your precious bible, it wasn't uncommon for a man with a 'barren wife' to have another sexual partner. Now, in modern times we know that the barrenness could have very well been his sterility, but still,he was boffing more than one woman.
I have had more than one partner (not at the same time) and guess what? No STDs, no HIV, no unwanted pregnancies. It's called "comprehensive sex educations and knowledge". Try it sometimes and then go get laid, cuz I really thing a ripping orgasm is what you well and truly need.
Aris, one of my best friends from Rockville, doesn't exist? Someone needs to tell Amir and the rest of the alcovians. And our organs are for sex in and of itself. Not for monogomy. And if it was designed by god, don't you think he would take away the STDs? Didn't think so. So he didn't design it or he doesn't care
No country has an even distribution of men and women. What about the "surplus" men or women in a given country? They're entitled to a good time, if not for a long time.
In fact, you seem in desperate need of a good time. The sexual frustration is making you nuts.
Huh, I'm half-Greek. Woops, I just stopped existing. Must've been all that crazy, crazy, non-monogamous sex my ancestors had.
I am descended from Romans, and know many and many Greeks. You should get out more and visit Europe, Oh, maybe not, you just stay there in Tornado ally.
Nature is not made of social conventions, so if people remarry, for whatever reason, and nothing happens, human people are meant for.........whatever they're meant. In fact, God allowed, allows still, polygamy and the remarriage of widows and widowers, divorcees and concubinage, officially and not. In fact, he has created HIV and other STDs to be a viri that infect you should your body contact one of the host fluids, regardless of your social status. Moreover, he has created the degree of desirability of pregnancy a social convention. And there is where your theory fails. By the way, Greece and Rome are the origins of your civilisation and their descendants and heirs are still alive. Nothing new under the sun.
Wait...so what are those countries in Europe entitled "Rome" and "Greece"?!?!?
Should i get a new up to da-
oh yeah THEY STILL EXIST!
Actually, sperm counts in animals are a good predictor of how "faithful" the females of the species are expected to be to a particular male. See, if the females only have sex with one male, the male doesn't have very much selective pressure to force his sperm count up, he can spend his caloric intake in some other way, no one is going to beat him out in the race to her ovaries.
Because of the trade off, we use sperm counts to predict female sexual behavior in a species. Chimps all fuck every other chimp. So chimps, as predicted, have high sperm counts. Gorillas, however, have only one dominant male who fucks all the females. They have a low sperm count.
Human sperm count suggests each male is to expect competition from two or three others.
Therefore, you fail.
So the destruction of the Greek and Roman cultures had nothing to do with false gods, it was all because of the homosexuality and orgies.
Yet your own bible talks about people having over a thousand sexual partners.
You may want to rethink that theory.
Monogamy- let's break it down.
Mono- Latin (roman) for One or Single.
Monogamy- a union to one person.
The Greeks and Romans had such a deep understanding of monogamy that, to this day, we use the words THEY invented for the concept.
As for humans being meant to have one sexual partner, the idea is prudish and goes against human nature. PERIOD.
Married and committed couples get STDs, HIV and unwanted pregnancies as well.
As far as sex goes, "playing with fire" is half the fun. ;)
Quit trying to paint the world in black and white.
Lotsa people in the Bible, including Kings of Judea and Israel have wives(plural) and concubines, some have sex with their children, their siblings, or their slaves. You fail.
If it were so true, why has God provided us with a slight surplus of either sex?, naturally, because if mankind intervenes, through selective abortion, or negligence or social factors, the party is even funnier.
Well they don't exist today.
They are no longer world superpowers, but there still here.
What? What the fuck? No, idiot, there are still Romans and Greeks. Go ahead, go visit Rome. See, lots of people there. Lots of Romans. They all speak Italian now, but they are Romans. And fuck, there's like, fifty million Greeks. What the fuck?
Humans are meant to have ONE sexual partner, until their child is about 4-7 years old, and can fend more or less for itself, then humans are meant to switch to a new sexual partner in order to acchieve the greatest diversity of genes.
Unwanted pregnancies, and HIV, happen in life-long monogamous relationships too, ya know.
The Romans and the Greeks very much exist today. I've been to Greece; it's definitely there. The EMPIRES are not there anymore though, partly because they converted to Christianity.
Some people are unfaithful for years and years and nothing burns.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
