Unnatural? What do you mean? Abnormal? What is your point? How is the modern attitude different than the older one? On what basis do you assert that? Has the nature of man somehow changed in the last few years? You are not advancing a clear argument.
As for the history of prostitution and condoms, I find it immaterial to the point at issue.
Lastly, I find your final paragraph incoherent ... literally, incoherent.
I am not looking for a fight, but you need to work on staying with the point and expressing yourself clearly.
Unnatural means unnatural. Try a dictionary sometimes. As to the modern attitude, has it ever occured to you that there is an underlying reason for the great changes in sexual morality during the past century, especially since the sexual revolution? The modern attitude is indeed different because it assumes that man is basically just a clever ape. That he is being true to his nature only when he is doing what he feels like doing, that the old sexual morality was repressive of his true self.
