He distinguishes this from "serial monogamy" and uses the example of Swedes having a new partner for each solstice as "serial monogamy". He does note that Swedes have high rates of chlamydia due to this "serial monogamy".<br /><br />But he doesn't provide any graph or chart to illustrate how HIV is related to concurrency. <br /><br />And we see that the rate is very low in Muslim countries except Iran, which has prostitution. Polygamy would technically seem to be a form of concurrency as the man may be having sex with more than one wife in the same month. But, polygamy with strict prohibitions against sex outside of marriage does not spread HIV. <br /><br />I'm not advocating polygamy. But I wonder if this is a factor in the disgust and fear the Muslim world feels toward the West.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632860530530786486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-39623523134598942162009-06-05T19:30:05.853-07:002009-06-05T19:30:05.853-07:00Keep it simple...keep it to one...and all is well!...Keep it simple...keep it to one...and all is well!
