"I expected my colleagues to respect the things I do in private and realize I'm just human."

So basically, you bet that people would overcome millions of years of human psychology?

While I agree with you it would be nice if that happened (really nice!), i wouldn't expect that to happen for a long long time.

Hell, why even bother criminalizing murder or theft when murder and theft have happened in every culture in the history of time? It's only human nature, after all.
Exactly because human nature is hard to change, you have to effectively force it by criminalizing it and not everything can be criminalized.
