What is required and what is not? I don't believe the Jewish people had a choice to selective obey whatever they choose. Of what laws to follow and what laws are optional were not left to the Gentiles whim either! Jesus fulfilled the Law in the New Testament.

That question was answered 2000 years ago, in Acts 15.

28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 29 that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual[j] immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well.

Farewell.

What stricture are you talking about?

ALL of them.

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for [c]instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Biblically define this. You indicate you have a 2000 year old answer.

That is the Bible buddy, and you are way off topic. If you want to discuss

this, you are in the wrong forum. This is Science and Faith, and the topic

is sexually transmitted diseases. Fare thee well.

So you keep all 613 Old Testament Commandments plus whatever Commandments you read in the New Testament plus any added by your Church, right?

Almost all of the laws are strictures since they restrict activities and how to be engaged in them.  (i.e. " Thou shalt not commit adultery" is a stricture on sexual activity and this thread started as a comment on the wisdom behind it.)

Wrong. Not even close.

You are still of topic and idle speculation is annoying.

Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

You need two of three scripture, or witnesses, to make a point. How many people claimed to be led by the spirit but are not! Rhetorical question.
