I never really considered oral as being sex. until recently that is i've had alot of people telling me it still counts as losing your virginity. I was just wondering what everyone's opinions on this were..?

Oral sex is a sexual act, but it is not the same as sexual intercourse. Oral sex has nothing to do with virginity. But it certainly comes with some of the complications and risks with intercourse (STD's etc.). You are still a virgin. You have not had sex. You have performed a sex act/foreplay.

Different cultures and people define sex differently. In short, it's up to your own definition. In a court of law, oral sex is sex.

I think as an adult oral sex is more intimate sometimes than actual sex itself. If you want to stay a virgin until you get married you shouldn't be having oral either :(

it is sex but virginity is lost only when the hymen is broken, you might be a legal virgin by that description but you are not a moral or actual virgin if you allow anyone to touch you sexually or if you have oral sex, and you can get plenty of stds through oral sex as well, stop it.

Oral sex is sex. If it's not sex, then what is it? A lamp post? a piece of liverwurst? a tape dispenser?
People need to get real about this.
If you've not had vaginal intercourse, then I suppose you could call yourself a virgin; but actually I don't think you qualify here. If you're going down on your b/f then you and he are having sex, not matter what other thing you might want to call it.

well the mere fact it's called oral 'sex' is probably a clue...yes !
as for it being considered losing your virginity...not in the real sense...as you are not having intercourse thus there is not the breaking of the hymen. but it's really a matter of perception. some ppl who want to stay pure til marriage consider anything from petting to oral to intercourse as sex and don't do it to honor their vows. it's really up to you.

Don't you remember the big todoo when President Clinton
denied having sex with Monica when she was a page? He
tried to plea for innocence when he said he didn't class-
ify oral sex as sex. He put himself into the wringer for ever-
more with that one. He was told by any definition that oral sex
is a sexual act, no ifs' ands' or buts'.

Technically you are still a virgin because your hymen is intact ...but you are not a vrigin because a virgin is inexperienced in all forms of sex and you are experienced in oral sex and yes ...oral is still sex.

You may not lose your virginity that way but it still counts as sex.

I wouldn't have oral sex and then proclaim that I'd had "sex", but in the context you're referring to, what's the point in "saving it"? What are you saving really?
