When a person is admitted ever having sex, there may be some people who do not really understand what people are actually doing it.
A new study from the Kinsey Institute, Indiana University also ensures that there is no uniform definition of sex or consensus on the definition of sex, especially after asking a number of respondents aged 18-96 years.
The differences may be based on an understanding of a variety of factors, one of which is the exposure of sex from the various studies, a doctor or a sex educator.
"Researchers, doctors, parents, sex educators should be very careful and not assume their own definition of sex and pass it on to the people they are talking to, whether it be the patient, student, child or study participant," said researcher Brandon Hill of the Kinsey Institute as reported by mid-day, Wednesday (10/31/2012).
Initially researchers only asked the students about what it means to 'make love' to them, and researchers are trying to clarify the statement by asking respondents sexual behavior specifically what they did and what qualifications they consider to be sexual, such as whether orgasm to be reached or not.
But because they want to obtain more valid, researchers expand the reach of the respondents involving 486 Indiana residents (204 men and 282 women) via telephone survey conducted by the Center for Survey Research at Indiana University.
Respondents were mostly heterosexual were asked, "Are you going to say have sex with someone if the most intimate behavior that involves you is like ...". Researchers also provide options 14 specific sexual behaviors to help responders determine the definition of sex for them is like.
The results did not show significant differences between male and female respondents.
96 percent of respondents agreed penile-vaginal relations (penile-vaginal intercourse / PVI) as sex but this figure dropped to 89 percent if not reported any ejaculate during PVI.
81 percent considered penile-anal relationship as sex, but the figure dropped to 77 percent for male respondents from the youngest age group (18-29 years), 50 percent of the oldest age group (65 and over) and 67 percent for women from the age group of respondents oldest.
Not only that, 71 percent (men) and 73 percent (women) of respondents stated that oral contact with a partner's genitals (OG) as sex.
However, male respondents from the youngest and oldest age groups was again inclined to say it's not sex, in contrast to respondents' opinions of men and women of the middle-aged men and women who say it's one kind of sex.
Interestingly, only 77 percent of male respondents expressed the oldest age group relations as penis-vagina sex.
The study has been published in the journal Sexual Health.
