  • Officially the definition of sodomy was 'any sex act not designed to procreate', but people think sodomy just means anal.
    Vaginal sex between a heterosexual couple is sex designed to procreate, everything else was just for pleasure. The Catholic Church forbade the use of contraception so people had to find things to do when they didn't want children.
    If you ask me it's all a load of crap.

    If you are intimate with someone physically you have crossed a boundary line that you can never, ever go back across. It doesn't matter what you did, or whether it can be labelled as 'sex'. I'm not sure why you're asking the question, but if I have a partner and she performs any sex type act with someone else, I'm not worrying about if it's defined as sex, I'm worrying about her integrity and moral compass.

    • I understand why you are saying, "I'm not sure why you're asking the question?", since you are not from the US. When I was born the US President was "Bill Clinton". He was having a young intern provide him with oral sex in the White House, among other girls as well, and said, when confronted about it that..."I never had sex with that woman!". She then produced a dress with his semen on it to prove it, so when asked why he lied about it, he said he didn't lie since he never had vaginal intercourse with her as oral sex was not sex he said. So that is why "I'm... asking the question?" Mr Grind, actually. Since then boys have been telling girls all over the US that it is ok to have oral, anal or manual sex because the president said it is not sex. Thank you for your opinions and observations Mr Grind, very well stated... really! :)

    • I didn't mean to cause offence :) so I hope not to have. It seems lots of people on here are asking similar questions because they are trying to work out a personal problem, but I really wasn't assuming about your situation, merely realising that I might be able to give a more helpful opinion if I need the background context :) As for Presidents, Prime Ministers and other such swivel-eyed dignitaries, I wouldn't trust a word the squirming little buggers say xD

    • If I *knew* the background context [not need] [typo]

  • "Sexual intercourse" means any penetration of the female sex organ by a finger, the male sex organ or any object. Any penetration, however slight, is sufficient to constitute sexual intercourse.
    "Sodomy" is oral contact or oral penetration of the female genitalia or oral contact of the male genitalia; anal penetration, however slight, of a male or female by any body part or object; or oral or anal copulation or sexual intercourse between a person and an animal.
    So, it really comes down to whether you consider sodomy to be sex. In statute definitions, it is considered a sexual act, therefore, I consider it sex.

  • Ok, so I have a real problem with this topic, I did a lot of foreplay and oral stuff before I actually had official intercourse. Actually I first had sex with a girl. And I considered that loosing my virginity. A lesbian actually told me once that because I had never penetrated I was still virgin. And I responded, have you ever had sex with a guy? No. Do you think you’ll ever have sex with a guy? No. So you’ll just be a virgin until you die? No! in short I believe you can lose your virginity lots of ways

  • Oral vaginal & anal are three different kind of sex. Traditionally vaginal penetration was called sex. Vaginal & anal sex are still called as penetrative sex whereas oral & masturbation is an act of receiving or giving sexual pleasure 😊

    • Wow, you are so good Ms SB, you must be some type of sexual counseling consultant of some kind! Well stated, thank you. :)

    • Thats so nice of you Ms. laurie 😊

  • Sex is anything between two or more people pleasing each other in a sexual way.

    • Yes, but some argue that only vaginal sex is "a sexual way" and that non-vaginal sex is not really sex. You disagree then I suppose?

    • I mean any kind of sex is still sex. I mean anal "sex "is sex. Oral "sex" is still sex. That's just how I view things though but it's pretty clear what is and what isn't.

    • I think any sex that ends on orgasm is sex, but consider anal forcing woman that's closer to rape. Sex is always when 2 people agree to what they do, the form of is just a flavor

  • I think most sexual activity between two or more people is considered sex or part of it. So no I don't think masturbation is sex.. though mutual masturbation I think could maybe be considered sex or at least foreplay..

  • Sex to me is any stimulation of the genitals that involves at least another person. Masturbation isn't sex, but fingering or hand jobs would be to me.

  • Well sex tends to refer to vaginal sex. Thats why people usually start the others with the area i. e. oral sex or anal sex.

  • If I cum = sex for sure
    if my dick is in someone's... anything... = sex (doc excluded)

  • Any form of sex is sex...

    Vaginal is just the end game goal.

  • Any sexual activity invalidates your virginity. Just think of it in terms of STDs.

  • Oral sex is tickling not sex anal is not sex so technically when you go down on a man you're not having sex vaginal is the only sex

    • Some school boys tell girls that if they give them a blow job, that is not sex and they won't get pregnant, is that OK then?

  • Let's see. Say a good looking man pass you and you two lock eyes. You begin to think of him in the bed with you having sex. You just mentally had sex. You can verbally have sex. Intercourse is the act of having sex or making love. Sex itself is the mental, physical, and verbal emotions of the person

  • As defined, sex is... NOUN

    (chiefly with reference to people) sexual activity, including specifically sexual intercourse:

    "he enjoyed talking about sex" · 

    [more]

    synonyms:

    [more]

    either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and many other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions:

    "adults of both sexes"

    synonyms: gender

    So if specifically mentions "reproductive function", so the only option is A.

  • For me any physical activity between people involving the sexual organs is sex. I don't believe that only vaginal sex is really having sex.

    • Sex, as defined in the Merriam Webster Dictionary, is “sexually motivated phenomena or behavior.”

  • Oral sex is not penetration but it is still considered a form of sex. And it's so awesome. lol

  • Sex is penetrating/being penetrated by a partner (or partners).

  • I think people differentiate because of a cultural emphasis on virginity. As long as we’re talking about consenting adults, the distinctions really don’t matter. However if we’re talking about sex between humans and lizard people, it gets complicated. #kanye2020

  • I agree that any pleasure can be considered as sex. However in the end a person still remains a virgin untill he/she have sexual intercourse.

  • Nope.

  • In reality any consented sexual relation is by definition "sex". The concept has evolve.

    Before, having sex was linked only to vaginal sex, it had a reproductive cognotation. There wasn't an effective way to avoid unwanted pregnancy and much less to avoid a STD. All that made holly the status of been virgin and sacred the act of having sex since it involved also marrying, having a family, been a parent in the name of God or the gods.

    During the Rennaisance that perspective start to fall apart, erotism took over and long after the sexual revolution plus the advances in the medical field become the cuspid of the erotism displayed by the Rennaisance artist, who were directly inspired by The Greeks (we can all agree their culture was advanced).

    Whatever happened in the sexual revolution (orgies, interracial sex, Playboy, cocaine..) still make echo in today's society. Sex isn't seen as sacred anymore, it's viewed as an individual right to enjoy sexuality.

  • It's allllll yummy lol

    • Yes Ma'am it is all very yummy ❤❤

  • Anything to do with a sex organ is sex. If you rub it between your girlfriends toes, it's still sex.

  • Vaginal, oral and anal all have one shared word attach to it which is sex.

    Anyone that participates in vaginal, oral and anal sex is no longer a virgin. Period.

  • no not
