Sex is a completely natural and normal activity — meant to be an intimate act, whether it is self-pleasuring or masturbation, or shared with someone you trust. Touching becomes a sexual activity if it involves touching or fondling the breasts, buttocks, anus, or genitals of another person. Touching yourself in any of these ways to arouse sexual feelings is called masturbation. Small kisses on the cheek or hand and even pecks on the mouth may be normal to exchange between family and friends, and are not usually considered sexual.
