And what's the problem with a bit of hedonism? Sex gives pleasure, pleasure is good.
Uhhhhh. Okay. A) There are a lot of things in the world that give pleasure, so don't even go there. If you want to go there, I'd love to see you try to defend drugs or smoking. (They're pleasurable activities for those who engage in them) and B) Going through life with the desire to please yourself is...odd. I highly doubt that people who sleep around genuinely care about the other person as much as they care about themselves. I doubt that they want to give pleasure to the other person; they only want it for themselves. Even if you cut my "keep your virginity for your spouse" bias out of it, the motive behind a lot of guys' idea of sex is not admirable.
STDs exist for the same reason that influenza exists. Because it's a convenient way for diseases to propagate. Also if you use a condom you aren't going to get a STD anyway.
I kind of get the feeling that you're coming from a perspective of 'God made STDs to punish fornication/adultery' which I'm going to have to disagree with on the grounds that I don't believe in God.
Okay, but if you're saying that sex is a normal way to explore your individuality, then there shouldn't be any negative side effects, emotional or physical, right? And I thought that a condom was supposed to stop you from having a baby or something. Like birth control.

3 things:
#1: there are people who get pleasure by giving pleasure.
#2: Everything can have negative side effects. They're not mandatory in any sotuation, and certainly not at all in the case of sex.
#3: Condoms are also the only method to protect yourself from STDs when you have sex.
