Medical and nursing activities are an inexhaustible source for philosophical reflections. We present 10 philosophical reflections in the context of science, with particular reference to sexology. Sexology, as science, investigates human sexuality taking into account sexual behaviour, functions and preferences. This definition goes beyond non-scientific research on sexuality, such as analyses of the political situation, or social criticism. In modern sexology researchers use tools from different academic fields. Sexology is an interdisciplinary study which perceives sexuality in various aspects: medical, psychological, sociological, educational, legal, ethnographic, anthropological, biological, religious, ethical and moral.

Key words: ethics, sexology, science.
