What does “sexually active” mean?

  • 2

I overheard some teenagers asking each other what it means to be sexually active. I could not stop to answer them because I was far away from where they were.

Aforementioned is a lingering question in the minds of young people because of the sufficiency of wrong information everywhere.

What does it mean to be “sexually active”?

  1. Whether it was your doctor, your parents, or your friends, you’ve likely heard someone talk about being “sexually active.”

    If you’re confused by this term, don’t worry. You aren’t the only one!

    Although this term is often associated with penis-in-vagina (PIV) penetrative sex, it’s actually way broader than that.

    It also includes different forms of manual stimulation, like fingering or handjobs, dry humping or other genital-to-genital contacts, rimming or other types of oral sex, and anal penetration.

    In other words, while you might not have had some form of penetrative sex, you could very well be sexually active in the eyes of your doctor.
