The Big Oral Sex Debate

I must say I was pretty shocked at the homepage vote results when we asked the question - 'Do you consider oral sex to be sex?'

A huge 60% of you thought it was - 32% disagreed and thought it wasn't, while 8% of you just couldn't amke your minds up, and were undecided.

Personally, there's never been any question in my mind - I've never considered it to be sex - even if it does have the very word in the title. Hmmmm... maybe it's because I'm so used to hearing slang terms like 'blowjob' or 'going down' that i dont really associate it with proper sex.

The reason we decided to have this vote is becuase somebody asked it in the office one day and it sparked a huge debate. I thought I'd put it to the real test by asking you guys what you thought, and after 1275 votes it looks like i've been proved wrong!

Let me know your thoughts on why you voted the way you did... I feel like another debate ;)

Oh and don't forget have your say in our latest vote about condoms. It'll be open until August 15th.

Oral sex is very safe, as long as a condom is used.

Its a kind of sexual activities. which some people like some don't. But the risk of HIV is there.

I'm a bit surprised that no one has written anything about orgasms. I can see how people can think that oral sex is like foreplay if no one comes. But if someone do, because of the licking and/or sucking, then it's totally sex.

oral sex is not sex, it is "oral sex" by definition. And it is not only a part of the foreplay. it does not have a specific timing. it can be the beginning, the end, or whenever. there should not be any rules.. use your fantasy

For the most part, i want to say that no one can ultimately judge if oral sex is sex or not but we should still understand that we have our differences and levels of sexual desire. Some people will be comfortable with oral sex and even enjoy it more than what the general public regard as real sex while others feel that sex should be the practical coming together of both sexual organs (male & female). All sexual activities haave their advantages and disadvantages but a protected sex will help and abstainance will do better!

I am beginning to think I have a different definition of "oral sex" than most. There's no question it is sex. And much more intimate than intercourse if done properly.

oral sex is an alternative way to hav some sex activity...at least the girl wouldn't pregnant..
