I didn’t specify promiscuous homosexuality. Monogamously inclined gay people are as protected from STDs as anyone else at a comparable tech level—maybe more so among lesbians.
Neither did I, but would rather refrain from explaining in detail why I didn’t assume promiscuity.
It’s really annoying that you jumped to that conclusion, though. Further, I’m confused why the existence of some minority of a minority of the population that doesn’t satisfy the ancestor’s hypothetical matters.
Homosexuality was common/accepted/expected in many societies without leading to any negative consequences, so technology is not an enabler of morality here.
Naming three:
Condoms.
Widespread circumcision.
Antibiotics.
What?
Didn’t the Jews have that back in the years BC? It’s sort of cultural, but it’s been around for a while in some cultures...
Condoms may be older than you think.

Homosexuality has certainly been present in many societies.
However, your link does not state, nor even suggest, that it did not lead to any negative consequences.
