If I remember correctly, I think the late Ven.
Saddhatissa wrote in his "Buddhist Ethics" that
"kaamesu micchaacaara" actually means "sensual
misbehaviour", not only "sexual" (although that is
obviously included).

But, as an old clergyman once is told to have said: "I
dislike all kinds of sins, but I take a special
interest in disliking the sexual ones".
