Section Four: Sexual Behavior
The next set of questions are about SEX and things that are related to sex.
Some of the questions ask about having sex. By sex or sexual activity, we mean a situation where two partners get sexually excited or aroused (turned on) by touching each other’s genitals (penis or vagina) or anus (butt) with their own genitals, hands, or mouths.
When a male inserts his penis into his female partner’s vagina, the partners are considered to be having vaginal sex.
When one partner’s mouth touches the other partner’s genitals (penis or vagina) or anus during sex, the partners are considered to be having oral sex.
When a male’s penis is inserted into his male or female partner’s anus, the partners are considered to be having anal sex.
Some questions ask about sexual partners. A sexual partner is someone with whom you have sex, that is, engage in sexual activity.
Some questions refer to protected sex and unprotected sex. Protected sex is when a latex or polyurethane condom (rubber) is used to cover the penis; or a dental dam, or a female condom such as “Reality” is used to cover the vagina; or a dental dam is used to cover the anus. By unprotected sex, we mean vaginal, oral, or anal sex without a barrier such as a latex condom, dental dam, or female condom.
