Agree that the discussion has been overfocused on polyamory. However, I think sex in general has an element than friendship or platonically living together generally lack. I don’t think we have seen many, if any, stories about power differentials contributing to significantly problematic situations in those areas in the same way we’ve heard about problematic situations involving sex. So while I think all of these interactions can cause conflict of interest, the harassment risk seems much higher with sex.

What problematic situations involved sex? Or do you mean “sexuality” ?
