We could also chemically castrate everyone through the water supply.

I mean, we should keep all our options on the table.

The Nazis shot people in the head for extra-marital sex. But they never got a handle on the problem. And to be honest, I doubt we can bring more ruthlessness to bear on the problem than they managed.

To paraphrase Darwin: if extramarital sex is outlawed, only outlaws will have extramarital sex.

And looking at other apes for a (very) rough metric, it's really hard to run against evolution when evolution's selected for...at least a certain genetic strain that leans toward non-monogamy. Interestingly enough, many bird species, while mating for life, are not sexual monogamous in that period.

The real question is: what're we going to to with all those chlamydia-infected koala bears?

>The Nazis shot people in the head for extra-marital sex.

I can find zero statements outside this comment on HN backing up or even implying any sort of punishment relatively close to this absolutely absurd statement. Nazism wasn't some cartoonishly evil villain. Propping it up as such is dangerous because it makes people see it as an absurd historical event that is too crazy to be repeated.

As far as I can tell, the Nazis were still using https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Strafgesetzbuch_f%C3%BCr_das_..., which punishes adultery with up to 6 months in prison, but only if someone (presumably the cheated spouse) files a suit.
