>>Can monogamy survive in the long-term in a world without consequences to promiscuity?

The problem is that not everybody likes to share their partner. The likely consequence of a partner sleeping with other people is separation or divorce.

Also, I'm pretty sure that STDs have virtually never stopped anybody from cheating on their spouse if they wanted to. So no, I don't think that a lack of STDs will have much effect on monogamy, if at all.

Plenty of couples engage in consensual sex with other people… not always the result is doom and gloom.

Things get a bit more complicated once you get kids.

Only in availability, not in willingness. Besides, they will grow up.

They said 'not everybody', which is not an absolute construction.
