I recently came across a post online that I found quite funny, entitled "11 Sexual Activities That People Don't Count As 'Having Sex'". The original article was based on a study by The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. Some of the answers were pretty out there. So, I decided to do my own research to get the facts:

-Around one in twenty people do not count regulary sexual intercourse as "having sex". That number rises to 5.6% if just the tip is inserted.

-When condoms come into play, that number skyrockets to 6.7%. Hopefully, sex education will be taken seriously soon.

-When it comes to orgasms, there is some discrepancy. In one article that I read, they said that sex doesn't count if "it lasts less than two seconds and no one came" (not true). However, some people disagree with me. About seven percent said that sex without a female orgasm doesn't count. That number skyrockets to almost eleven percent if the man doesn't orgasm (sexist, much?).

-Nineteen percent said that anal sex doesn't count.

-Twenty-seven percent, most likely including Bill Clinton, say that oral sex doesn't count.

So, what do YOU think counts as having sex?
