She gives pretty basic information about what is "open relationship." Mayiim is supportive of "modest dress" and "thinking" about what creates problems.
I personally believe that "brotherly and sisterly love" is normal for redeemed Christian behavior. Such relationships are "harder" when their is "distance" or a piece of technology between the people (aka. it is hard to trust the internet dude who wants to deal with money, but easier to work with someone from the local bank, where there is community "checks" involved.).
There is the condition of having "emotional affair". Sometimes a relationship won't work at all because the beliefs are so-far-apart or it feels like there is something very immoral going on (like a person doesn't agree with abortion practices unless life of the mother is in danger). I don't think a godly person would go around trying to "look" for an "emotional affair" but should have that type of feeling for the person in the committed relationship (prayer and faith can help). Serving God and others should be of more value in the long run.
Just because a person says "I love you" but you don't feel like you can "help them" with that, doesn't mean you need to "block" them. Sometimes these things will come and go. Rarely would a person need to resolve to something like #metoo hashtags and other agendas to "punish the bad man/woman" especially if the people are choosing ways of interacting that prevent such issues in the first place (modesty, separate a dance from shaking hands, appropriate images and texts on internet accounts etc).
Some of these things may depend upon what type of marriage a person supports as a whole. If a committed couple chose not to participate or cater to something, then they agree on that.
It is a mistake to say a person is "useless" if they agree with biblical standards on various things.

A biblical example is "King David." He did make a mistake....and it wasn't because of the women he was around or involved with, it was because.....well read Psalm 51. But people really shouldn't just focus on the "bad thing" that King David went through. Focus on other things like him talking with Abigail and dealing with and encouraging her when she was still married to Naboth...... The ultimate example would be Jesus of course.....he talked with the woman at the well.
