What is sex???

Sex is not with a toy!

Sorry anyone needs them.

When people masterbate = it's not sex.

Touching is foreplay so is oral.

Foreplay is before sex.

Sex is penetration and reciprocation.

If all sex then why different definitions?

 

Sorry, sex is all of the above...ie sexual activity. Penetration is called sexual intercourse. If you give oral sex to your boyfriend but not vaginal sex, you have still engaged in sexual activity even though it was not sexual intercourse. People have oral sex all the time without vaginal sex. That is still sex no matter how many people (including a former US President) tries to deny it.

I would rather use a vibrator than find a random man, just to have sex.

 

I have to say amen to that one.

Sex among humans

 

See link removed for information about sexual activities, sexual sensation, sexual gratification, and sexual intimacy between human beings In humans, sex is conventionally perceived as a dichotomous state or identity for most link removed and link removed purposes, such that a person can only be female or male. However, when the criteria generally used to define femaleness and maleness are examined more closely, it becomes apparent that the assignment or determination of 'sex' occurs at multiple levels. Environmental, biological, social, psychological and other factors are all believed to have some role in this process, and the complex interaction of these factors is expressed in the diversity of biological and psychosocial 'states' or levels found amongst the human population. A significant fraction of the human population simply does not correspond exclusively to either 'female' or 'male' with regard to every level of definition expressed in the following table. This discordance is discussed in more detail below.

This table outlines the major levels at which society currently recognizes a difference between human females and males. Some criteria are dichotomous and some, such as body size, exhibit link removed (i.e. characteristics which are link removed more likely to be found in one sex than the other). Some of the levels are more amenable to link removed study or measurement than others; some are "imputed" or assigned to individuals by the society of which they are members (e.g. whether human males must wear trousers is a result of social link removed); and some seem to be generated within each individual as a subjective identity or drive.

link removed are typically present at birth and directly involved in reproduction. link removed typically develop later in life (usually during link removed) and are not directly involved in reproduction.
