the religiously conservative, in my experience, often try to demonize any behavior they don't like as sinful. especially when speaking to children, the shame tactics start early. then again when you look at your neighbors wife and think "i'd show her a good time" that's a top 10 sin, so maybe failing in a marriage is passing the same low bar.

but really i think we've gotten into some murky waters, probably because i described it poorly. the woman's general point is that STD's are almost universally connected to sinful behavior of some kind. then, secondly, when challenges with a difficult hypothetical she maintains her harsh position, because it strikes a related nerve. that being people rushing into relationships or being dishonest generally with their partners. i'm sure there is a hypothetical saintlike partner who never sins in their relationship who gets an STD from an entirely evil partner, in which case she'd be ok with them getting treated and would agree they hadn't sinned. She just felt im sure this slice of the pie is so small its not worth mentioning, and thats likely correct.
