This is probably really naive on my part, but I think it just comes down to the fact that the Constitution protects us from the government only. It doesn't say anything about whether non-government employers and corporations can infringe on our rights.

Medical privacy extends to everyone I am pretty sure via HIPAA. It is entirely possible that this isn't a medical privacy issue as it relates to the law, but it seems like it could, or should even.
As for sexual privacy, again I don't think corporations can get all up in your bedroom. Accessing email and texts, though heinous, is agreed to by users when they subscribe to a service, and certain things are agreed to when you take a job.
