To me, it's not the sex that's the issue. The issue is the appearance of favoritism, and it stems from fraternization, not sex.
For example, if a judge was caught dating or spending more time with a lawyer, questions will come out on whether he favored that lawyer in court proceedings. Whether they were in bed together doesn't matter much at all.

Sanford's case was more about lying and not doing his job.
