Oral Sex
Is oral sex sex?
Oral sex refers to the contact of one person’s mouth or tongue with the genitals of another person. Although this is not sexual intercourse in the normal sense, most dictionaries also define sexual intercourse as: “intercourse involving genital contact between individuals other than penetration of the vagina by the penis."1 So oral sex definitely qualifies as sex. I mean, think about it: if oral sex isn’t sex, then why is it called “oral sex?”
