As our culture changes, possibly. Human sexuality, like so many other things about us, is hardly set in stone. No one really knows how humans are "naturally" supposed to navigate sex, because sexuality for us is a social construct. Some societies are more promiscuous, some have polyandry or polygyny, some are strictly monogamous (very few, actually, but those few cultures have kinda taken over lots of places and we don't always realize that we're not the norm).
Western culture has gone through a lot of changes over the past 100, 150 years, and our notions of appropriate sexual behavior have shifted radically. Once upon a time, a woman confessing to having sex before marriage would never find a husband and would therefore be doomed to poverty. Nowadays, it's very rare to wait for marriage. If this keeps up, who knows what the next century will bring?

I think sexual behaviour will be what it has always been. Just that - "sexual behaviour." Sexual behaviour is a label, so to speak. Every living thing has it. It has been around since the beginning of time. It can be used for good or bad. It has always been like that and always will. I don't believe it will drastically change in the future. It is what it is.

Yes, I think that we are currently at the leading edge of an all encompassing change in attitude about sex.
We seem to be entering an era where indiscriminate sexual activity is the norm. There is now no stigma to having sex with anyone anytime for any reason.
Sexual activity is now relegated to the function of providing a few minutes of sensual pleasure rather than showing love or commitment to another human being under the auspices of a legal and moral agreement.

Sexual human behaviour hasn't changed in the last 150,000 years so I don't think it's going to change in the near future. No.
Why! would you want it to!

It has been for a long time now. We went from totally animal instinct, to completely uptight, and we are moving into a good blend of acceptable animal instinct.
Of course this is just for America as I can't comment elsewhere, and I of course could be wrong.

It has changed so many times in the past (in some ways - more open, etc.) and then HIV and etc. began the pendulum swing back somewhat... but its really always the same. Good.

Oh definitely. Before it was okay to have multiple partners. But because of the discovery of new sexual diseases, more people will masturbate more. There will be new & better technology for self intercourse, and it will be cheaper.

I hope so. There`s too many floozies putting it about, getting pregnant, no proper father figures, swapping partners, no stability, no `normal` family lives etc etc. There`s nothing wrong with getting married.

not in the next 100,000 years or so! Although I think film makers in the movies show techno gadgets simulating sex... Maybe that will be the option to stop STD's!

It already has..look at the amount of people who have "come out of the closet", the increase in STDs treatable and nontreatable, child molestations, and don't get me started with the sex on television..Son, it has already started.
