sexual relation

Human sexual activity, human sexual practice or human sexual behavior is the manner in which humans experience and express their sexuality. People engage in a variety of sexual acts, ranging from activities done alone (e.g., masturbation) to acts with another person (e.g., sexual intercourse, non-penetrative sex, oral sex, etc.) in varying patterns of frequency, for a wide variety of reasons. Sexual activity normally results in sexual arousal and physiological changes in the aroused person, some of which are pronounced while others are more subtle. Sexual activity may also include conduct and activities which are intended to arouse the sexual interest of another or enhance the sex life of another, such as strategies to find or attract partners (courtship and display behavior), or personal interactions between individuals (for instance, foreplay or BDSM). Sexual activity may follow sexual arousal.

Samlevnad är när människor lever tillsammans. Begreppet används ofta om parförhållanden men inte i första hand med tanke på sexualitet utan snarare med åtanke om samarbete och hänsynstagande. Samlevnad kan innebära att man delar bostad (sambo) eller har egna bostäder (särbo).

Parisuhde tarkoittaa kiintymykseen ja seksuaalisuuteen perustuvaa kahdenvälistä suhdetta.
