What are the ethics of sex, beyond consent? Who dictates these? There really isn't a good ethical standard, which is why laws are based really only on consent (and related elements to protect children or the mentally impaired).

It may just be the case that I don't read of many happy reports of sexual encounters like the one described and that they are out there. (I'm not sure why or where I would read about them, but that's another issue.) But it seems to be that they are far more likely to involve ill mental health and victimization than not.

This is really confirmation bias at its finest. I have no idea how many 5-man gangbangs happen, but I can guarantee I'd only hear about the ones where something goes wrong. Kind of like how I only hear about planes that are hijacked or crash.

I don't actually go around quizzing folks about their sex lives to pass judgment. But once you make the news for having to retract your false rape claim or for filming a women without her knowledge while you and your buddies have sex with her, it's another story.

Yeah, that's fair enough, I'm just saying we shouldn't extend this too far, because we simply don't know beyond the specifics of this case ... and even then, we're inferring a lot.
