Short Statement about Ethics

By Ipce

Having read the conclusions of the meta-analysis of the Rind c.s. team, [*1]

that feelings afterward about sexual experiences during childhood can be summarized as

• 1/3 positive, 1/3 neutral and 1/3 negative by boys,
• 1/6 positive, 1/6 neutral and 2/3 negative by girls;

having read that there are positive experiences [* 2] as well as negative experiences [*3];

having read that negative experiences may have caused harm;

we conclude as our ethical guidance: "First, do no harm!", followed by "and do not take the risk". [* 4]
