What is sex, anyway?

In our society defined by dominance, sex often means penetrative sex, and of course it must involve a penis and vulva/vagina, often according to porn script.
In our store and related educational offerings, we want to help broaden the view of what we define as sex. We want to create a space to discover, discuss and learn about the many facets of sexuality. Without performance pressure and comparisons.

But what is sex for us, really?
