What are examples of sexual contact?
"Sexual contact" definitions vary by law and policy, but common examples include:
- Kissing on the mouth (deep or prolonged)
- Genital-to-genital touching
- Oral sex (mouth on another person's genitals)
- Manual stimulation of another person's genitals (hand-to-genital contact)
- Penetration of the vagina or anus with a penis, finger, or object
- Fondling or touching another person's breasts with sexual intent
- Rubbing genitals against another person's body (frottage) for sexual arousal
Not usually considered sexual contact (depending on context and intent): non-sexual brief/accidental touches (e.g., patting a back), medical examinations performed professionally with consent, or non-sexual intimate contact between family members where no sexual intent is present.
If you need the legally correct list for a specific jurisdiction, policy (school, workplace), or a multiple‑choice set, tell me the exact source or show the choices and I’ll mark which apply. For legal or safety concerns, consult a qualified professional.
