'There are a lot of people who don't consider oral sex to be "sex," reserving that single word (without modifying adjective) to mean "sexual intercourse."'

I find this hard to believe - however, I am willing to stand corrected; maybe there's a regional/cultural difference here. A bit of thread drift, I suppose, but - if we can put aside partisan politics for a moment - okay, I suppose that's a pretty hopeless wish - but anyway, what is other people's sense of this? I'm really kind of curious.
