Sexual ethics

Sexual ethics means understanding what is accepted in societies as the right way for people to show their love and care for one another -in a sexual way- and what is not. It is about understanding what is okay to do and what is not okay to do when it comes to being intimate with someone. For example, it is not okay to pressure someone into doing something they don't want to do or to have sex with someone without their permission. It is important for everyone to understand what sexual ethics are so that everyone can make the right decisions when it comes to being intimate with other people.
