Confusion over the definition of "had sex"
23 percent of men 65 and old said intercourse is not really sex

It seems ever since President Clinton planted the seeds of doubt about what sex really "is", everyone has become increasingly confused.
According to a study by the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University which conducted a random telephone survey of 242 men and 282 women in Indiana from the ages of 18 to 96 asking what the phrase, "had sex", meant, no one really seemed to know, the researchers found.
"Though 95% said penile-vaginal intercourse was having sex, 11% said it wasn't sex if there is no ejaculation," reported the LA Times. "Thirty percent said that oral sex was not having sex. Twenty percent said anal sex was not having sex."
"There's a vagueness of what sex is in our culture and media," said Dr. William L. Yarber, a co-author of the study. "If people don't consider certain behaviors sex, they might not think sexual health messages about risk pertain to them."
Even more surprising, among older men (age 65 and older), 23% did not consider penile-vaginal intercourse to be sex.
Surely, if anyone should know what good-old-fashioned sex is, it's grandpa, but apparently, a quarter of his generation were doing it and denying ever having done it.
