I'd rather not have "mandatory sentencing", so I'm willing to live with the inconsistency in discipline that exists from person to person.
I would submit that it's very likely the problem isn't strictly due to intercourse vs petting, but a lot of other mitigating factors that takes into account more than the immoral act itself; thus it's too complex for an apples to apples.
