Women's comments

• Anything sexual is a means of having sex.
• I believe your frame of mind and you emotional state count for a lot in sexual situations. If you kissed someone and it gave you the same physiological thrill as penetration then in that situation i would consider kissing as sex. So I guess what I'm saying is anything can be considered sex within a certain context.
• All of the above (except the nipplevision) ... but only if the talking/typing is accompanied by masturbation.
• it's clearly all sex

Men's comments

• If you can spread a disease.
• whenever you say is it sex, it is sex.
• any time a male and female interact
• a little bit of everything sex start with the speech and ends with a cigarrete
• all of the above
• Foreplay & oral sex by either partner mutual masturbation and nudity counts as well
