Best Answer

Sex can be "any activity from casual intimacies such as kissing and caressing to more intense types of physical contact designed to produce orgasm". This being said, I seem to recall a "presidential" statement that may have muddied the definition for many generations. Sexual activity (sex) can complement sexual intercourse or stand alone as a means for gratification. The penis/vagina are not the only methods of producing sexual enjoyment; humans beings can give and receive intense pleasure without any direct genital contact which is what sexual intercourse means.
