Considering:
1. antibiotic drugs are less effective (aka "superbugs"), never mind unpleasant side-effects nobody talks about. Now read up on symptoms of bacterial diseases if they don't get treated/resist antibiotic drugs.
2. antiviral drugs are less effective (more "superbugs"), never mind unpleasant side-effects nobody talks about. Now read up on symptoms of viral diseases if they don't get treated or resist medication.
2b. If it helps, Herpes Simplex (Type 1, predominantly on facial lips but thanks to adapting over the last several decades can now thrive in the "lower areas" too) is found in up to 80% of the adult population, which will be >90% as the rest of the Silent Generation and the Boomers who didn't fiddle with everyone's fritters die.)
2c. It's also worth noting that if diseases weren't ever a factor that it's possible mindsets would be different, though I'd not mentioned the human condition of emotions yet...
3. Truvada for HIV already has a less-than-100% rating and, you guessed it, its efficacy will reduce over time as the same irresponsible behaviors continue atop a belief that all drugs are magical creations (because Darwin's laws are obviously ever-so b.s. unless the word "Darwin" is followed by "Award", only this time the irony is legitimate /sarc... )
4. Thousands of years ago, "Free love" existed before someone saw then-untreatable diseases and said how those were "sins created to punish" but since the new epidemics are about to unfold and nobody listens to anyone over 40... wheel turns round and round, they might become untreatable again...
5. How do people deal with jealousy/ownership beliefs? Many women, just like men, see their partner as "theirs only". Even in open relationships, it's still there to varying degrees (so teaching a person about open relationships and then the teacher objecting heavily or outright refusing to you live by the same rules they just taught isn't always going to fly over very well).
6. What if a child is made? Is abortion always the best choice? If people are pro-abortion but then complain about people being disposable later on in life (or vice-versa), isn't that a potential conflict of interest, can context be sufficient to keep the issues mutually exclusive?
7. People can lose interest for varying reasons. These partnerships usually involve the well-being of the one you're bonding/having sex with, but one also has their own well-being as well. At what point do people discuss issues or split up if need be? How simple or easy should it be to get one? (Divorce isn't a sin for more reasons than what many religions claim, though it is for some. Since I forgot to mention, what about the child(ren)'s well-being?)
Now add in the monetary cost of the drugs, never mind side-effects and mathematical probability of getting something, noting that a 4% chance of getting cooties then means absolutely zilch if you go get a test and, oh dear, the result was "positive" so to that 4 add 96 and there's the number representing the percentage that you'll get it...
It's not the 1960s anymore. Neither is it the 1860s, 1060s, -4060s, etc. Needs of one era don't always match up with previous eras. But each era thinks there's a new approach. Can each era be both onto something but still wrong? How can the new ideas be presented best to inform and encourage in the best ways possible?
That or "Free love" could become the most expensive rip-off you'll ever get. And yet, for all the relationship styles, the answer almost seems simple: All people need to do is be honest and sympathetic to all risks and keep people they want to practice "love" on in the know so they can make educated decisions - regarding disease or monogamy or how low or high one's sex drive is? Say it upfront, get it over with, in most cases, nothing bad happens as a result (or saves what can be a lot more painful down the road, emotionally or otherwise). But it isn't simple, straightforward, nor easy. There are more facets to the issue, and even those who cheat have a point of view - which can indeed be no less valid - to. And, no, I never cheated. I was cheated on. And I can still admit that, though the ex was an alcoholic drug abuser who didn't care for his life but had no qualms risking others' lives or putting them in harm's way. Not bad considering the line of work he was in at the time... but I digress. Many who cheat don't have underlying problems to begin with and many of them admit there are issues they need to work on. Either which way, it ultimately depends on the partners in question and it's ultimately their business to work out or not, regardless of any information other people opine. But just be outright honest in what one is looking for upfront and deal with issues if they arise later on. My guess is that might help a lot.

Would've been kind of awkward to get married after she was murdered.
