What counts as 'sex'?

Penetrative and with a clear ending.

to qualify as sex, 2 or more partners have to have an equal chance of climaxing. IE a blow job is not sex but a 69 is.

I define sex as activity between two or more people intent on stimulating each other to orgasm that actually results in orgasm(s). A valid orgasm has to include a release of (and hopefully an exchange of) certain fluids.

Those activities include, but are not limited to:

trunk thumpin'
limb hoppin'
gum bumpin'
goozer knockin'
lip poppin'
vag daggin'
and sheet snatchin'.

Any activity with a partner(S) that stimulates the genitalia is some form of sex - hence the term "phone sex".

I make a distinction between "having sex" and "hooking up." I can't speak for everyone, but it seems in the urban/suburban Chicago circles I run in, we're really disinfranchised with SEX. If it's orgasm you're after, sexual intercourse is going to be your last resort, digital and oral are so much more satisfying, and a lot more comfortable.

WHATEVER!

WWIII :D

I blame Bill Clinton for all this (pubic) hair-splitting and hand-wringing over what constitutes as "sexual relations."

Beyond the strict dictionary definition, I would think that if any nudity, partially or otherwise, involving two or more people, using one or more orifices, that ultimately results in some sort of "happy ending" - then some sort of sexual act has taken place.

Of course, in the end it all comes down to personal preference and experience in my humble opinion. Any clarifications for such a wonderfully complex subject seem to be necessary only for lawyers, politicians, English majors, and pop-culture columnists.

Anal, Oral, and Handjobs AREN'T sex.

They're their own special club, remember that guys.

Why have "sex" when you can have had "anal". It's even more fun to say. =D

My boyfriend just said that men count as many things as possible as sex so they can up their numbers and brag about having slept with more women. I see the logic in that.

two or more consensual partners performing any of the following acts:
blowjobs
conilingus
rounding the bases
finding neverland
taking the braves to beantown
expelling a white russian from the kremlin

the following does not count
handjobs ( you can do it to yourself)
any form of masterbation
making out
feeling up ( sorry its done out of pity sometimes)

Some people are taking it a bit too seriously. I like my next Nike style - JUST DO IT!

The fact that anyone here considers anything besides actual intercourse as sex disturbs me.

Sex isn't a label to be thrown around willy nilly. It has a single earnest definition.

Just because something involving your genitals isn't sex doesn't mean it is any lesser or greater than sex.

People try to hard to give too many things the same meaning.

"Riding in a fancy car is sex right? Because I achieve orgasm!"

Yeah. To all those saying oral and anal isn't sex:

That's like all of my hardcore Christian friends who have been doing anal since they were 15 because it's not "real" sex. I love how they fucked a million guys and still called themselves virgins. Ha!

any penetration is sex...

Ah, such sexual perferences, human desires they are--

legally, in most US states, the poster "THEREisHOPE" is correct - any penetration can be considered sex (not *will* be considered sex - otherwise, there would be *lots* of issues over doctors and dentists being arrested for porstitution!)

i consider sex to be any acivity between at least two people that has the *intent* of orgasm (even if orgasm isn't achieved, if you were trying for orgasm, it was sex) - doesn't matter what this is, *watching* someone masturbate who is masturbating for you is sex (to me) because it is done with the intent to orgasm and involves two people. some days i think even solo masturbation with intent to orgasm should also be considered sex - i waffle on that a bit, mostly because most of the guys i know don't think that masturbation is sex (or as good as sex), so...

but still, there are lots of things that (to me) are sex, and some of those (many, probably) don't even *look* like sex - for instance, i know a person who is into BDSM and she actually literally orgasms from topping someone, no contact with any sex organs required! and i know a guy who can orgasm from having his ears stimulated - i think those both count as sex.

You know i agree withThis that women basically are of Ease Greater than Males to have Sex on a Random basis simply because personally I Believe males are More Willing to have Sex with anyone.

Personally I don't Just Want to have Sex with anyone!

STD's are so Prevelant Toady and When i found Someone Years ago that was willing and Attractive I ended up with a STD....Thanks Goodness for penciilin!

And What about Paranormal sex when people go to sleep and are Enjoying Sex with some Type of Vision in there Mind often Called the WEt Dream.

I wonder How Many males and Females Regualrlly have these Paranormal wet Dreams with attractive People and at least They don't end up with STD's

always hetrosexual and Enjoy Regular intimacy ..clinging To Romantic intimacy...and of Course as 69er have masturbated the Opposite Sex as Well
