If a husband was caught cheating, he would receive a few claps and insults from the wife and the supporting crowd
“I think it may not be a bad idea if it [society] became even harsher now[when people have multiple concurrent partners], as the consequences are much worse now, with HIV just hovering all of us who are sexually active,” writes Beatrice Tonhodzayi, Programme Officer-Media for SAfAIDS in Zimbabwe, in an article published in The Herald.
Why are we using polite names and avoiding moralising even for that which is bad, she asks. Why is it we now have men and women sleeping around and we just look the other way? Is that not where we are going wrong?
Talk about it
Share your views: do you think that our society has grown soft on people who have more than one sexual partner at a time? Do you think we should have a harsher response to such relationships?
Note From The Web Site Team
While the OneLove regional web site presents all views, and encourages vigorous debate on all issues related to multiple concurrent partnerships and its ability to spread the HIV virus, the OneLove campaign does not seek to place blame on people who have multiple concurrrent partnerships.
Instead, it provides a platform for learn about multiple concurrent partners, its role in the spread of HIV in Southern Africa and the impact of the practice on us as individuals, couples, families and communities. The campaign also aims to help engage people in the region to help us understand why we should change our sexual behaviour, and to give us access to the tools to help us change .

Yes society is not more soft on having many partners i ever see people are very ok wth it until something happened. Many just lost the real discipline and they excuse themselves in the name of “Modern times” or “progress” while this is just loosing of the basic value
