Winnie Phillips asks, Are you still celibate if you're engaging in every form of sexual activity except intercourse? What is your definition of sex and celibacy? What are your thoughts? Here's Her's

Picture this Family:

Two people kissing, touching and tasting all over each others bodies. Now imagine that this has been going on for at least an hour. Then one of them say's "stop" (it doesn't matter who). They both stop and nothing more happens because they both agreed not to have sex until they were both ready (or married). They just say "I love you" and hold each other until morning. I know what you're thinking. If they're doing all that then they may as well go all the way and not hold back.

My question to you is this:

Would you be able to handle it if your girlfriend/boyfriend said that she/he wanted to wait to have sex, but was willing to do other things to please you? Or, would not having sex within the relationship be reason enough for you to bounce? Or, would you just get sex somewhere else and not tell your girlfriend/boyfriend? HMMMMMM...... If it were me, I would be alright with being pleased in other ways and would wait until we were both ready to have sex even if that meant waiting until we were married.

Let's define what sex and celibacy means. The dictionary defines sexual intercourse as: 1) Heterosexual intercourse involving penetration of the vagina by the penis. 2) Intercourse (as anal or oral intercourse) that doesn't involve the penetration of the vagina by the penis. The dictionary definition of celibacy is 1) The state of being not married. 2a) abstention from sexual intercourse. b) abstention by vow from marriage.

Yes, there are different forms of sexual activity such as fellatio, cunnilingus and mutual masturbation. However, from my point of view, all of that is just affection and foreplay that is not followed by intercourse. From my perspective, if there is no penetration then it's not sex and you're still celibate.

Many will probably disagree with this and say that any form sexual behavior is sex and that you're not celibate. And, that's okay because everyone defines sex differently. A very public example is the President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal. To quote President Clinton, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman". Well, something happened because the evidence was all over her blue dress. To me this situation was more about infidelity...
