Damn Doug you do make many thoughtful posts here and many that do make me think.....

 

I suppose i did make the assumption that a sexual relationship per say was being talked about.  Their are many types certainly and emotional ones are likly far more common.  I only included the line of one being better to say simply as I do not consider humans necessarilly superior to animals (though their would certainly be differences between say a toddler and a dog for example both physical and emotional) and i wanted to make it clear i was not making a judgement as far as superiority or inferiority but only that differences exist

 

I do suppose it could be theoretically possible for a relatinoship in a sexual sense to occur that would be mutual for both partners but i am guessing that such examples are probably very rare and that the abusive or harmful ones more common which is why I do think caution is certainly warrented here.

As for ethics (which i think is the issue here) I guess i am basing it based on it's harmfulness here rather then a strict rule per say.
