Sex and Quarantines

My thought is you would be lucky to have so many
people with the time and energy to engage in sex at
all. Until you have a sizeable population, everybody
is - well - living in tight spaces. Would anybody
want to risk infidelity or strained relations over
jealousy.

I may come off as a moralist in thinking this way.
Still there has been a steady drop in activity (sperm
counts included) that is not easily explained. If it
is part of the highly competitive modern world then
space dwellers are going to be hard at work building a
future and not dating each other. Like so many dual
income professional couples, most nights nothing
happens.

Your statement brings to mind another conundrum; if
the immigrant population is selected to be free of
sexually communicable diseases, then you'll have a
population pool that won't have to fear Herpes
and AIDS as well as the treatable diseases like
syphillis and gonnorhea. The result is likely to be a
freer sexual attitude and more worry about introducing
such diseases into the *clean
population* through lax immigration controls.

What impact will this have on tourism and short term
business visits? Will strict health screening and
quarantines be de rigeur or will they be such a hassle
that the attempt to eradicate communicable sexual
diseases within the population will fail for a
closed cycle cannot be assured.

Any thoughts?
