Published: April 13, 2004

Dear TeenHealthFX,

Could you possibly make a list of all the sex terms and any other terms that come up in teenagers lives, cause you have most of them, they are just scrambled over like 1000 pages! It would be a great help thank you!

Dear Sex Terms,

We took your question to our Teen Advisory Committee and came up with all the terms related to sex that we could think of together. Although we are sure there are many that we missed, here is the list that we came up with:

Oral sex - also known as "fellatio", "blowjob", "giving head", "cunninglingus", "going down on", "eating out" - is when one partner stimulates the other partner's genitals with their mouth. The term "69ing" is when both partners are stimulating each other orally at the same time.
Orally stimulating the anus is also called "tossed salad" and "rimming".
"Hand job" generally refers to a female stimulating a male's genitals with her hand.
Anal sex - refers to stimulation of partner's anus using fingers, tongue or penis.
Masturbation - also known as "jacking off", "wanking off", "slapping the salami", and "self love" - is self stimulation of the genitals by rubbing, using vibrators or shower heads.
Foreplay describes the beginning of lovemaking. It can also be called "hooking up", "fingering" and "feeling up".
Orgasm is the climax of sexual excitement. It is also known as "cumming" and "getting off" for both males and females, and can be referred to as "shooting your wad" for males.
