But being sexually active can include a variety of sex acts, including oral sex (blow job, giving head, going down on, eating out), anal sex, and manual sex (giving or receiving a hand job, or fingering someone else or being fingered). Many people think that being sexually active means that they’ve had penis-in-vagina (PIV) sex.
Great question! The phrase “sexually active” is a bit vague, and you’re definitely not the first person to be confused by it.
My doctor asked me if I was sexually active, and I didn’t know how to respond.
