As with most things related to the actual mechanics of sex, somewhat unsavory to spend too much time thinking about, but, obviously, better to have them than not (sane). FC.

If anything, the world should spend more time thinking about condoms until they become nothing more than second nature.

If anything, the world should spend more time thinking about monogamy until condoms become nothing more than a contraceptive.  Not that it is likely to happen, but the world would be better off if sex were reserved for intimacy within a relationship and not used simply as entertainment.

There's no evidence that suggests monogamous relationships are inherently better than any other kind of relationship.
Actually, one need only look at history to see that societies with stable relationships as the norm have done markedly better than those where chaotic familial relationships are common.  Monogamy, as the simplest form of such a relationship, is the easiest to maintain in a society where the sexes are considered equal.  Polygyny and polyandry with a defined head of household can work in societies with strictly defined gender roles, but that doesn't apply to modern Western society.  While in theory equalitive polyandry can work, and for some people it does, in practice having more points of potential failure in the relationship makes it more difficult to maintain the stable familial relationships a society needs to function well.

Um, why should the world spend more time thinking about monogamy? There's nothing great about monogamy.

And why is the world better off if sex were reserved for intimacy within a relationship and not used simply as entertainment.

That sounds like a personal lifestyle choice, not something "the world" should have to spend more time thinking about.

Already covered in the follow-ups to that post you quoted.
