S*X
Sexual activity, sexual practice, sexual behaviour or very broadly sex is the set of activities people engage in that typically includes any combination of physical intimacy, physical contact with the reproductive organs (genitals) or erogenous zones, and erotic stimulation. Sexual acts range from activities done alone (e.g., masturbation) to acts with another person (e.g., sexual intercourse, non-penetrative sex, oral sex, etc.) or multiple persons (e.g., orgies) in varying patterns of frequency, for a wide variety of reasons. Sexual activity usually results in sexual arousal and physiological changes in the aroused persons, some of which are pronounced while others are more subtle. Certain conduct is intended to arouse the sexual interest of another or enhance one's already-existing sex life with another or between individuals (for instance, foreplay or BDSM).
Certain activities, such as strategies to find or attract partners (flirting, courtship and display behaviour), are not usually considered sex, though they are commonly used to lead to sexual arousal and more explicitly sexual activities.
Human sexual activity has sociological, cognitive, emotional, behavioural and biological aspects. It involves personal bonding, sharing emotions, the physiology of the reproductive system, sex drive, sexual intercourse, and sexual behaviour in all its forms.
In some cultures, sexual activity is considered acceptable only within marriage, while premarital and extramarital sex are taboo. Some sexual activities are illegal either universally or in some countries or subnational jurisdictions, while some are considered contrary to the norms of certain societies or cultures. Two examples that are criminal offences in most jurisdictions are sexual assault and sexual activity with a person below the local age of consent.
