性交的4种基本类型并不意指它们在实际发生过程中泾渭分明、各自分隔和独一无二。区分出这4种性交的基本类型的真正意图在于要说明一些男女把自己只限定在性交的其中一种类型；而现在大多数夫妻喜欢在做爱时，从一种性交方式到另一种性交方式自由地转换。因而，他们的性交起初可能是用手，然后用口，最后用生殖器官。当然，如果有人愿意就定义性交方面讲求事无巨细、面面俱到，他可能会划分出更多的分类和说法，例如，当性伴通过相互观看对方来强化他们的性反应时，有人也许会说这是“视交（visual
intercourse）”；当一个男人把他的阴茎置于其性伴的大腿或乳房时，有人也可能会认为是“腿交（femoral
intercourse，拉丁语
femora：大腿）”和“乳交（mammary
intercourse，拉丁语mamma：乳房）”。毕竟，一对夫妻在达到性高潮之前，他们可能会花数个小时相互运用他们的肢体，以尝试所有可能的性交方式来做爱。在其它的时间或场合，他们也许根本就不达到性高潮，只是相互品味性刺激本身的过程。就我们定义的实效来看，这并不会产生任何的歧义。
另一方面，我们必须谨记，此处所定义的这种交互行为只涉及性的特征。例如，我们所定义的手交（manual
intercourse）不适用于医生检查病人的性器官时所进行的操作。一个人的性器官去和另一个人的手、口、性器官或肛门接触这一纯粹的事例，就本质上看，没有理由说成是性交。只有至少其中一人出现了明显的和由他人所激发的性反应时，这个术语才证明是合适的。换一句话说，这同样意味着儿童出于好奇相互触摸性器官并不是正在从事性交。

Basic Types of Sexual Behavior |
|
2. Heterosexual Intercourse |
|
Not exclusive |
The 4 basic types of sexual intercourse do not represent clear-cut alternatives or separate and exclusive approaches. It is true that some men and women restrict themselves to only one type of sexual intercourse, but most couples today prefer to make love by freely switching from one approach to another. Thus, their intercourse may first be manual, then oral, and finally genital. Indeed, if one wanted to be pedantic about it, one could introduce several more distinctions and speak, for example, of “visual intercourse” when the partners mutually intensify their responses by looking at each other. One may also speak of "femoral intercourse" (lat. femora: thighs) and "mammary intercourse" (lat. mamma: breast) when a man places his penis between the thighs or breasts of his partner. After all, a couple may spend hours in each other's arms trying all possible variations of lovemaking before they reach orgasm. At other times, they may simply relish the process of mutual stimulation itself without reaching any orgasm at all. None of this makes any difference for the purposes of our definition.
On the other hand, we have to remember that it is only the sexual character of this interaction that concerns us here. For example, our definition of manual intercourse does not apply to the manipulation of a patient's sex organs by an examining physician. The mere fact that the sex organs of one person come in contact with the hands, mouth, sex organs, or anus of another is, in itself, no reason to speak of sexual intercourse. The term is justified only if at least one of them shows a sexual response which is noticed and encouraged by the other. This also means, among other things, that children who touch each other's sex organs out of sheer curiosity are not engaging in sexual intercourse. |
