Sexual ethics or
sex ethics (also called
sexual morality) are
ethics that concern issues from all aspects of
human sexuality, including
human sexual behavior. Broadly speaking, sexual ethics relate to community and
personal standards regarding the conduct of
interpersonal relationships. This includes issues of
consent, sexual relations before
marriage or while married (such as marital fidelity,
premarital sex and non-marital sex), questions about how
gender and power are expressed through sexual behavior, how individuals relate to society, and how individual behavior impacts public health concerns.
