A lot of you know about the no-sex rule, but I think you should be a little more informed about the details of the subject. You see... [DEEP BREATH]
Sexual intercourse, also known as copulation or coitus, 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 or by non-sexual organs are also sometimes considered intercourse. Traditionally, intercourse has been viewed as the natural endpoint of all sexual contact between a man and a woman.
Non-penetrative sexual contacts and mutual masturbation are usually referred to as outercourse, whereas the term sex, in the context of sexual intimacy, is often understood more widely to include any mutual genital stimulation.
Sexual intercourse for most animals other than humans occurs at the point of estrus, 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.
