Besides the two improvements the sexuarium (even in its native state of "alternative to brothels") contributes to the sexual culture and to the ethical standard in general – namely, the decrease of STDs and pushing away the criminal subcultures – it can train people to take their own responsibility.
There are two sorts of "supervision" in our culture over the sexual behaviour, both not enough efficient: the marital contract (resp. the registered partnership) and the police control over the brothels.
The police is at a loss how to control the commercial sex, within the given tools and the social "production-possibility frontier".
The partner contracts are not specified enough, and if broken apparently, the sue usually does not follow. Well known is the model situation of the Indian wives who stay at home, and so it is evident that it was their husbands who brought HIV from a prostitute.
Unfortunately, unlike paternity, in the case of STDs we cannot tell for sure from whom was contracted the infection. So, the more it is necessary to study the human psychologism: our relationship between the drive to sexual satisfaction and the willingness to act rationally and altruistically.
Nevertheless, it is not inherent in mankind to live in dirt and to break law. But if there are no sharp borderlines and the only solution of an insufferable situation, many persons resort to the risky strategy.
If we specify the acceptable sort of behaviour and ask directly straightforwardly if one is or is not ready to obey a given rule, the persons are taught their own real responsibility.
Let us take the most typical case, the (oral) registered partnership.
It is such a case in which the children do not enter the stage, yet the STDs threat. It is proper to ask anybody entering such a relationship (or a group of people) if they promise the others to confess any risky body-contact with a person outside the relationship. What should be accented, that s/he can stay in the relationship (or the group), not left alone – only that cannot enjoy the intimate contact for the period of incubation, till the his/her health is proved. Interim, s/he can enjoy the strict 100% safe behaviour.
For first, this question is specified and the requirement is not extremely severe. Anybody adult and psychically sane can decide whether to take part in such a relationship, under such condition. For second, it clears up the ethical perspective on sexuality – up today (deliberately, we are afraid) kept in dark – and train us in our responsibility in general.
