Reply to comment by hasdigs in ELI5, Why can't STDs be cured/irradicated by isolating the disease through infected people? by AnanomusMan

All STDs could theoretically be extinct within a generation or two if people would stop having sex with multiple partners. If each person only ever had sex with one partner their whole life, then there would be no spread of disease, any viral diseases would be confined to family lines. Of course, getting every person on the planet, or even in a small town, to agree to that would be impossible.

I want to stop the spread of disease not drain the enjoyment out of life, Jesus fucking christ. You could do it in one generation if we stopped fucking altogether.

I believe that would also result in the extinction of the human race.... Seems like a lot of ppl are already on board for that. Also, some people catch these viruses from family - ie not all STDs are spread via sex alone.
