Our Definition
|
|
In this course, we do not follow the standard approach of most sex guides and marriage manuals, but treat the subject in a more general way. Thus, instead of trying to impose a specific sexual preference on the reader, we begin with a very simple definition:
|
|
Sexual intercourse is any communication between persons that involves
a sexual response.
|
|
|
Such communication can, of course, take many different forms. People may respond sexually to each other when they embrace and kiss, but also when they just look into each other's eyes or talk to each other on the telephone. In other words, they may never touch each other's sex organs and, indeed, may have no direct physical contact at all. Still, as long as there is some interchange and a mutual awareness of sexual feelings, there is sexual intercourse in the true sense of the word.
