I think the issue isn't your opinion necessarily, but your saying an innocent kiss on the cheek is unethical. And then throwing in a comparison to people thinking having sex with children is okay. That is ludicrous.
I think sunflower that you have gone way overboard here. Lots of things *could* lead to despicable behavior. How about hugs, handholding, just being in the same room alone with T? Really anything can lead to anything. Sex with a client is unethical. A kiss on the lips is also wrong. A kiss on the cheek or forehead in circumstances such as dream describes is not unethical. It's not so black and white. Context matters. Would you say that a therapist giving an unconscious client CPR and mouth to mouth is unethical? This kind of hysteria makes therapists afraid to be human with clients and hurts everyone.
