Myth 12

Intercourse Is the Only Kind of Sex That Counts; Anything Else Isn’t Sex

Intercourse equals sex is a modern Western concept. In the ancient Indian text the Kama Sutra, many forms of lovemaking were celebrated. Is it coincidence that the Eastern erotic acts became popular again when the boomers entered their 40’s? Most of us learned as teens that Love play I don’t like using (foreplay) was the kissing, caressing, and touching a man had to do to get a woman ready for intercourse, Love play encompassing all the ways men and women have of giving each other sexual pleasure. By mid-age, a man craves this touching, kissing , caressing as much as a woman does, requires it for erection, and may sometimes be satisfied with oral or manual lovemaking and even intercourse that does not end in ejaculation, there is so much more to sex than intercourse.
