What exactly is bad about that? Who's doing the bad thing? The females or the man? Do you not approve of consensual sex?

  I am totally in favor of consented sex. However, when the head of an organization has sex with all "consenting" female members of the org, one can legit raise the question whether this consent is true or not. When your boss asks for sexual favors, you are usually not in a position to refuse, and according to most sexual consent laws across the planet, a person is not considered to be able to give consent to a figure of authority such as their teacher, boss, a police officer, etc... And for good reason, cops all around the planet are very well known to abuse and rape who they wish to because they're the psychopaths holding the guns and the shackles, so we need laws against that. So even from the outside and without knowing the details, it looks pretty bad. Pretty bad as in cult guru bad. When you read the article, actual sex trafficking is mentioned where people give ""consent"" based on being poor and being offered a roof on their heads in exchange for sexual favors, which is arguably also not good consent. To be clear, i'm not against sex work. One makes a living the way they wish, and many people i know (including myself) would rather sell sexual favors than work for Mac Donald's or an evil tech startup/multinational. However, being pro sex-workers means considering the level of personal autonomy sex workers enjoy. When you materially depend on a single "client" who recruited you for your "weakness" (lack of economic privilege) and is actually your pimp, we may consider basic concepts of sex-work consent are being neglected.

  it’s not the sleeping part. who cares. it shows recklessness to mix your job with your personal/emotional life. and to do this with multiple people from your job?
