Sexually active or not

Does mutual masturbation make you sexually active ?

[Sam W]

Hi Adeline09,

While that activity may not be considered sex by some, we would certainly describe mutual masturbation as sexual activity, since we define sex as being any number of things that people freely choose to do to express or enact their sexuality. If you want to learn more about why we define it that way, check this out: What's Sex?

Edited to add: If someone, like a healthcare provider, is using that term in a sexual health setting, they're specifically asking if you've been sexual with someone else, not just yourself.

You already got a response to that question in the post you made previously asking about it.

How do you make it visual

[Heather]

You click on the link, just like you did to see this thread.

And here is the response that was posted to both times you have made a thread with this question:

We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.

We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family

For help dealing with a scare (including what poses a risk and your next steps based on your unique situation), you may use our tool on site built for this purpose: The Pregnancy Panic Companion.

[Heather]

I reposted the response for you from those locked threads (and I really don't know or understand why you can't see them: this is never something anyone has reported before, and I have logged out of my account to check this issue and am seeing them just fine as an anonymous user) above, regardless.

[Adeline09]

[Adeline09]

[Heather]

Adeline: I have given you the response to this question here, where I know you are able to read and post.
