Based on your reference to sex as some sacred thing (rather than mashing of bodies that tends to get really sticky), I am assuming you are making the same mistake a lot of people make:
Ethics are not morality. Ethics are not the law. Ethics… are a lot more complicated than a message board post but can be summarized as a code of “rules” and thought processes an individual applies to a scenario to figure out what they are comfortable with or obligated to do.
And, in that regard, we start getting into theory regarding what “self” or intelligence is. But the rules outlined in the article about consensual acts and different “models” having different boundaries seems to pretty much be textbook ethics. And the structures around those (human moderators, flagging, etc) seem like ways to enforce that.
People do treat sex as a “sacred” thing, yes. This is pretty prevalent as a concept and is enshrined into law in many many places. Irregardless of our personal preferences.
