Comment: Billy:  Call it what YOU want.  I do NOT sugar coat words, NO smoke and mirrors, NO lipstick coatings.   I am down to earth, REAL.  I could care less about "appropriate public decorum", or, "politically correct HOOEY".   I call it like I see it.  

Your understanding of terms of sexual intercourse is probably the same as the Eugene Police.  Now when the Police find a couple having sexual intercourse in public, they call it, "The Couple was ENGAGED".   That's a Major Problem in Society today, to many PHONEY people playing Semantics, playing this or scamming that.   Get  REAL.............

Your terms "Intimate Partners"????  OK, that's sugar coated.     Get REAL.  It means Oral Sex and Sexual Intercourse with your Designated Friends......There, now that's not so hard is it?????
