Koga, I would not like the person who had sex with my wife... But I wouldn't really dislike him either. It would be a "meh, who cares" unless it was some friend or someone I knew. There is a difference there, of course. However, if she had sex with her surfing instructor while on vacation, I would see it for what it was, in this case, all her fault, none his.
I agree the difference is interesting. But hopefully it throws a log into the whole 'no liberals believe in any personal responsibility' thing. I believe people should take responsibility for the things they have a direct choice about, like their personal decisions and such. I do not believe they should be told to bugger off and take responsibility for something they can't control, like getting a disease or having an earthquake flatten their house or going bankrupt from medical bills. And most times you just spin that around in inverse and you have a stereotypical far rightie's viewpoints. :)

I don't think Kadagar is a bad guy at all and if Kad you or anyone else got that impression that was my mistake. I do think this behavior though is destructive, not just to others, but also to you, even if you don't realize it. You mentioned already getting one STD, one would wonder what would happen if you found out you had, or in the future got, a more serious or lifelong one, and if this behavior was worth it. How do you explain to your future fiancee how you got hepatitis or herpes? I do believe there's some kind of compulsion at work if you've slept with hundreds of women, but that's just my personal observation and no form of professional opinion.
