The gender divide on the out look of sex was once again highlighted by research in the College Student Journal. The study talked about how oral sex was not viewed as sex by the men whereas the women very much thought that it is a sexual act.

Sex is a mind-body-soul experience as told by the sexologists, with the brains as the largest sex organ.
