The Dictionary of the Spanish language defines the word sex in its fourth meaning as "
sexual activity
".
However, it is not specified further.
What exactly does it mean to have sex with someone?
The most established perception in the collective imagination implies the
intervention of coitus
, but sexologists do not agree.
Gisell Chavasco, psychologist and sexologist, seeks to discard the idea of kisses as something commonly associated with preliminaries: "Everything falls into the sexual game."
The expert explains that
sexual intercourse
is a free process: "We decide when it ends, the orgasm does not mark the end."
The exchange that takes place during the entire sexual practice consists of a set of "swings where
all the practices
take place ".
Including, of course, the kisses.
"Coitus does not always have to happen and that does not mean that sex has not been had," he adds.
A good kissing session is a sexual session just as valid as intercourse or masturbation.
Kisses
represent a
strong sexual stimulus
that can complement or even replace the act without diminishing pleasure.
You have to reinvent yourself.
"From the first kiss to the last look, everything is sex," says Chavasco.
The importance of kisses for sexual stimulation
A kiss can be a real
explosion of pleasure
.
The University of Oxford, in a study published in 2019, analyzes the implications of this practice.
During a kiss, neurotransmitters such as
endorphins and oxytocin
are released , responsible for sexual stimulation and the sensation of euphoria and desire that the body experiences.
"The act of kissing produces a deep and great exchange of sensations and emotions. Because performing this act enhances the secretion of hormones related to pleasure, which makes the kiss become a
powerful erotic stimulant
, "says María Felipa Gea López, psychologist and sexologist.
However, kisses don't always get the consideration they deserve.
Even though you can
orgasm
through them.
"The latest generations tend to skip that step, they get impatient and go directly to the sexual act, forgetting the enormous power of preliminaries, caresses and
eroticism
", admits Gea López.
The kisses
reinforce the intimate bond
during the sexual exchange as well as contributing to the reinforcement of the sensations during the practice.
Sexologists insist on not forgetting or neglecting them, quite the opposite.
Kissing consciously will become a differentiating point.
