Is it true that oral sex is not really sex?

Why do many people, especially teenagers, believe this is true?

Here's a link if you don't believe me...

US teenagers think oral sex isn't real sex

I was told that when Bill Clinton was caught with his pants down... literally! ... lol... that when he said publicly that he never had sex with Monica, he was being honest because only vaginal sex is really sex, anything else is not really sex, but instead is just merely playing around.

Has this been turned into a trick that teen boys are using to get a blow job from a girl or teen girls to get cunnilingus from a boy without the risk of getting pregnant? ... or even with same sex experiences?

Is there a legitimate argument for that reasoning?

Is it true that oral sex is not really sex?
B. No, technically that is true, as real sex is vaginal intercourse only, since that is the only way to get a girl pregnant, anything else is not really sex in the truest sense of the word

  • It is sex. And I wouldn't call someone a virgin if they did it. It's called oral SEX for a reason.

  • Whenever I see a question about this I always think about dogs. Black dogs. Are black dogs dogs? I say they are. The adjective "black" modifies the noun "dogs." The same goes for "oral" and "sex."

  • Did you fuck her? No but she blew me so 2 different things lol

  • If you just do oral you are still a virgin. That’s like saying kissing is sex. Sex is penis in vagina or penis in butt end of story

  • I consider anal and vaginal sex to be sex, not oral.

  • It's not pro-creative sex. It's just a FORM of sex that just gets one or both people off.

  • Bill Clinton said that it was not sex when he lied to the House.

  • Oral "sex"... it's in the label.

  • Its sex definitely

  • Oral sex is sex or it wouldn't be called oral sex now would it.

  • It’s not sex but a sexual act. The same as fingering or a handjob. Touching boobs or even strip tease I guess would be a sexual act since you are doing it for sexual reasons.

  • To answer your question, no. Oral sex is sex. That's like saying "well I didn't really fuck her because I had on an "underwear condom" that covered everything, and our skin never actually touched". Uh huh. LOL

  • Oral sex is definitely sex. Anything involving genital to mouth to genital to genital contact is sex.

  • Its sex. And real sex yeah

  • I would say that it falls under the umbrella of a sexual act, so yes it is "sex"

  • It’s still sex even though there is no penetration since you’re getting an orgasm from someone else

    • But your theory has flaws... most people have had sex and have not reached orgasm. Can that be deemed non-sex or just ‘fooling around’. Lol 😂

    • @Poppykate Well then I guess the act of attempted orgasm 😊

  • Yes, and no. I'm not sure how to categorize it. Because sex is penetrative. And when you give a blowjob its penetrative, yet, when you give a girl oral, it's not necessarily penetrative, but can be. But its the same motions as penetrative sex, and the same ending result. So I would lean towards it is sex. But people justify it in different ways

  • Oral sex is a sexual activity therefore it counts as a type of sex.

  • Oral sex is sex because it envolves the sexual organs.

  • I mean, you wouldn't call a virgin getting head a virgin no more, would you?

    Oral sex is very close to "sex" but I personally consider it a sexual act. It's still 100% cheating where applicable.

    • I understand your point that it is not losing your virginity but it is still sex. I think we agree!
