Don't get me wrong, contracting Monkeypox sucks, but it's not the end of the world like you're making it out to be.
As far as the sex conversation it's abundantly obvious from the data what type of behavior is causing Monkeypox to spread:

Again, don't get me wrong: having sex with strangers, especially unprotected sex, isn't good for your health. But people should be more concerned with contracting one of the numerous STDs out there than Monkeypox. |
There will be 3rd parties who will catch it because some one they trust will pass it along. Sex workers and intravenous drug users are spreading it as well. This will only get worse until we get more people vaccinated. And I’ve given up on that
