Abstract
This paper explores the ethics of analysing extant online data from a sex-positive perspective. The author presents a case study of a research project exploring the sexual practices of an online community who did not want to be identified. On analysis of the data, it was found that members of the community could be identified, and that using a pseudonym for the community would not have provided sufficient anonymisation. The paper takes a multidisciplinary approach to exploring some of the ethical challenges of online research and argues for the need to consider ethical implication at every stage of the research process
