If Clinton had gotten her to clean his laundry, undress in front of him or serve him custom meals by using her infatuation with him, I think THAT would be wrong, too. The fact that he used his position and her feelings (in an inconsiderate and selfish manner) to gratify himself is what is wrong. The type of gratification elicited has little to do with the nature of the relationship or his character.

We are defining "sexuality" in two differing ways. I say sexuality is what you do. You say "sexuality is who you are. Why do you say that? Clinton's character was revealed by what he did in using one human, and betraying another.

"since Clinton was heterosexual it's therefore no wonder he lacked character as he so aptly demonstrated by his lack of control?"

Ah, I believe I said he lacked character because of what he did. If lying cheating and using other humans for sexual self gratification are not wrong then neither was he, and he is an example of sterling character. Likewise only if you beg the moral correctness of homosexual practice, can you ignore the implications toward the character of one who engages in them. Why do you assume that homosexual behavior is morally neutral?
