About Sexual intercourse in brief
Sexual intercourse is sexual activity involving the insertion and thrusting of the penis into the vagina for sexual pleasure, reproduction, or both. This is also known as vaginal intercourse or vaginal sex. Other forms of penetrative sexual intercourse include anal sex, oral sex, fingering, and penetration by use of a dildo. These activities involve physical intimacy between two or more individuals and are usually used among humans solely for physical or emotional pleasure. Because people can be at risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections during these activities, safer sex practices are recommended by health professionals to reduce transmission risk. Religious beliefs also play a role in personal decisions about sexual intercourse or other sexual activity, such as decisions about virginity, or legal and public policy matters. Some gay men may consider oral sex as a way of maintaining their virginities. Lesbians may categorize sexual intercourse as an act of fingering or oral sex. Some heterosexual couples may engage in oral sex because they have not engaged in the reproductive act of coitus since they are virgins. The age of first sexual intercourse is called sexarche. Vaginal, anal and oral sex are recognized as sexual behaviors more often than other sexual behaviors. Sexual activity that does not involve penile–vaginal penetration might often be used to retain virginity. One reason heterosexual couples engage in anal or oral. sex is because heterosexual couples are often based on penile-vaginal intercourse. The World Health Organization states that non-English languages and cultures use different words for sexual activity.
The laws of some countries use the euphemism intromission, or by the Latin name immissio penis.

Sexual intercourse may be called coitus, copulation, coition, or intercourse. Copulation, by contrast, more often denotes the mating process, especially for non-human animals; it can mean a variety of sexual activities between opposite-sex or same-sex pairings, but generally means transferring sperm from a male to a female or sexual procreation between a man and a woman. For most non- human mammals, mating and copulation occur at the point of estrus, which increases the chances of successful impregnation. For bonobos, dolphins and chimpanzees, this behavior is also presumed to be for pleasure, and a contributing factor to strengthening their social bonds.
