Types of Sex

Submitted by ericw on
Sexual pleasure can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences! But there are also a lot of confusing things about sex, and it is totally normal to have questions.

ABOUT SEX
People define "sex" in many different ways, and it means different things to them.

Do check below to see if we have all your definitions covered:

  • Vaginal sex (penis-in-vagina intercourse)
  • Dry humping or genital rubbing (heavy petting)
  • Fingering or hand jobs (hand-to-genital contact)
  • Masturbation (pleasuring yourself to the point of ejaculation)

What is vaginal sex?
Vaginal sex is what most people think of as sex. It is specifically the kind of sex where a guy puts his penis inside a lady’s vagina. Unprotected vaginal sex can put you and your partner at risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STIs)including HIV/AIDS. So always use male or female condoms for your protection.

What is oral sex?
Oral sex is defined as using your mouth to stimulate another person’s genitals. Unprotected oral sex still puts both you and your partner at risk for STIs. For safer oral sex, always use a male or female condom.

What is an orgasm?

An orgasm is when muscles that were tightened when you were sexually excited or stimulated are released and relaxed and then return back to how they were before you got aroused. 

Each person has a different and unique experience of orgasms but the most common experiences may include: a feeling of warmth, faster heartbeat, sweating, faster and harder breathing, your face and chest might get flushed, and you will have muscle spasms in your genitals. Men usually ejaculate when they reach orgasm. Some women ejaculate during sexual activity, too.
