Information on Sexual Intercourse found
on moment please....

 
Sexual intercourse, also known as copulation or coitus and fucking (fuck, fucked), commonly refers to the act in which the male reproductive organ enters the female reproductive tract. The two entities may be of opposite sexes or not, or they may be hermaphroditic, as is the case with snails. In recent years, penetration of non-sexual organs (oral sex, anal intercourse) or by non-sexual organs (finger-fucking, fisting) are also sometimes included in this definition. Traditionally, sexual intercourse has been viewed as the natural endpoint of all sexual arousal contact between a man and a woman.

Non-penetrative sexual intercourse contacts and mutual masturbation are usually referred to as outercourse (oral sex may or not be penetrative), whereas the term sexual arousal, in the context of sexual intercourse, is often understood more widely to include any mutual genital stimulation and sexual gratification.

Sexual intercourse for most animals other than humans occurs at the point of estrus (the most fertile period of time in the female's reproductive cycle), which increases the chances of successful impregnation. However, bonobos, dolphins, and chimpanzees are known to engage in sexual intercourse even when the female is not in estrus, and to engage in sex acts with same-sex partners. In most instances, humans have sex primarily for pleasure. This behavior in the above mentioned animals is also presumed to be for pleasure, which in turn strengthens social bonds.

Vaginal sexual intercourse, also called coitus, is the human form of copulation. While a purpose and effect is reproduction, it is often performed exclusively for pleasure and/or as an expression of love and emotional intimacy. Sexual intercourse typically plays a powerful bonding role; in many societies it is normal for couples to have frequent intercourse while using birth control, sharing pleasure and strengthening their emotional bond through sex even though they are deliberately avoiding pregnancy.

Sexual intercourse may also be defined as referring to other forms of insertive sexual behavior, such as oral sex (Fellatio and Cunnilingus) and anal intercourse. The phrase to have sex can mean any or all of these behaviors, as well as other non-penetrative sex acts not considered here. Femininzation transformation and forced impotence are considered penetrative sexual intercourse.

Sexual intercourse may be preceded by foreplay, which leads to sexual arousal of the partners, resulting in the erection of the flaccid penis and natural lubrication of the vagina. During feminization transformation, the male is rendered impotent by the insertion of a latex rubber catheter and prevents the flaccid penis from becoming an erect penis. This process is known as forced impotence and is a temporary phase of erectile dysfunction.

To engage in sexual intercourse, the erect penis is inserted into the vagina and one or both of the partners move their hips to move the erect penis backward and forward inside the vagina to cause friction, typically without fully removing the penis. In this way, they stimulate themselves and each other, often continuing until ejaculation in either or both partners is achieved. Penetration by the hardened erect penis is also known as intromission, or by the Latin name immissio penis (Latin for "insertion of the penis").

Sexual intercourse is the basic method of sexual gratification in humans. During ejaculation, which usually accompanies male orgasm, a series of muscular contractions delivers semen containing male gametes known as sperm cells or spermatozoa from the erect penis into the vagina. After ejaculation, the erect penis becomes a flaccid penis.

Unlike some other sexual arousal activities, sexual intercourse has rarely been made taboo on religious grounds or by government authorities, as procreation is inherently essential to the continuation to the species or of any particular genetic line, which is considered to be a positive factor, and indeed, enables most societies to continue in the first place. Many of the cultures that had prohibited sexual intercourse entirely no longer exist; an exception is the Shakers, a group that reached a size of about 6,000 full members in 1840, but as of 2006 had only four members left. There are, however, many communities within cultures that prohibit their members to engage in any form of sexual fulfillment, especially members of religious orders and the priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church and priests in Buddhist monasteries. Within some ideologies, sexual intercourse has been considered the only "acceptable" sexual arousal activity. Relatively strict designations of "appropriate" and "inappropriate" sexual intercourse have been in human culture for hundreds of years. These legal or cultural restrictions may include:


Most countries have age of consent laws specifying the minimum legal age for engaging in sexual intercourse. Sexual intercourse with a person against their will, or without their informed legal consent, is referred to as rape, and is considered a serious crime in many cultures around the world, including those found in Europe, northern and eastern Asia, and the Americas. Sexual arousal, regardless of consent, with a person under the age of consent is often considered to be sexual assault or statutory rape. The age of consent varies from country to country and often by state or region; commonly, the age of consent is set anywhere between twelve and eighteen years of age, with sixteen years being the most common age the law sets. Sometimes, the age of consent is lowered for people near the same age wishing to participate in sexual intercourse. For example, in Canada, the minimum age of consent for all couples is 14. However, the age of consent can go below 14 on the condition that the couple still are not 2 years of age apart. Religions may also set differing ages for consent, with Islam setting the age at puberty, which can vary from around 10 to 14. There are exceptions in the case of anal sex or people in a position of trust/authority.

Views on sexual intercourse, as of sexual arousal activity in general, vary widely between religions, as well as between different sects of the same religion, and even between different members of the same sect.

In human sexual intercourse behavior, foreplay is a set of intimate psychological and physical acts between two or more people meant to increase sexual arousal.

Foreplay involves different acts such as kissing, touching, embracing, talking, and teasing (teasing, in this case, may include methods of satisfaction, such as erotic sexual gratification). Sexual intercourse stimulation of all kinds, such as manual or oral stimulation of erogenous zones are considered foreplay. Sexual role playing, fetish lifestyle activities, and BDSM can also be considered foreplay, though they may also accompany intercourse and not just precede it. Of the various forms of foreplay, the most common include fellatio and cunnilingus (oral sex).

If no intimate sexual intercourse are intended, foreplay-type actions are often classified as flirting, "fooling around" or, in colloquial terms, being "touchy-feely". Since these interactions are non-explicit, there can be misunderstandings about whether an invitation has been extended or accepted. Inadvertent or not, this kind of miscommunication is often termed "leading someone on."

A romantic, intimate feminine scent from soiled panties, or overly sexual intercourse atmosphere can be considered a gesture of foreplay. Foreplay can begin with non-physical behavior that signals sexual arousal availability. Verbally, foreplay may include compliments, subtle comments with double entendre, and intimate conversations. Non-verbally, foreplay can include provocative clothing, preening gestures, winking, licking or biting one's lips, standing inside a partner's personal space, and holding a gaze longer than is acceptable for casual acquaintances.
