This paper discusses sexual ethics. A person's ethics is the code of conduct that governs their actions. Therefore, their sexual ethics is the code of conduct that governs their actions pertaining to issues of a sexual nature. Sexual morality, like ethics, is also often measured according to a community or general standard. Generally, it is considered highly immoral to use another person for sexual gratification, whether the act is consensual or not. Deception in a sexual arena is also highly immoral. To misrepresent oneself for the purpose of sexual gratification, or personal gain, is in clear violation of most acceptable moral and ethical codes. Coercion is another morally reprehensible tactic sometimes used to achieve sexual gratification.
