I hear the risk is usually among gay and bisexual males. Though being in close proximity can get you infected. It's not as infectious as Covid19.
The current wave of monkey pox spread in that community with some post covid parties, but it is spread by close contact and there is no reason to think it will not spread as easily in the hetero community...assuming similar numbers of partners and close contacts. So it is ideally suited to spread in the community we hang out in, where there are multiple partners in close contact.
Perhaps a difference might be that there are less "parties" in our community, ie. orgies. But as far as I know it has nothing specifically to do with gay sex per se. Unlike aids, which was spread more readily through gay sex.
