I didn't state I wasn't familiar with the title, or some of the characters, but perhaps more correctly stated, I don't have the dialogs committed to memory to a point where I can quote it verbatim. I don't really "know" the film. In Spanish one would distinguish between conocer and saber, French connaitre and savaire, German kennen versus wissen.

Huh?

- Oral
- Hand jobs
- Levi lovin'
- Feeling her up ("petting" as SWK would call it)

In spite of knowing better then to go here, don't you think oral is just as an intimate act as intercourse if not more?

I've never really understood Mormon tendency to grade severity of sexual sin.

Geeze, this act gets a 9, that one gets a 2 and that one a 13. "Well bishop, I kinda wish you'd grade on the curve."

I'm single and this is the first I've ever heard the term "floating".

However I have heard the term "CamelToe Junction". Basically it's moving back and forth without clothes but not going inside.

Maybe it's just the competitor in me.

What's the point?

That one gets a 7.5 with a 3.1 degree of difficulty.

I agree it is just as intimate an act. I think I rank it below intercourse because the possible consequences in nature aren't as grave (i.e. you can't get pregnant with a blowjob). An arbitrary distinction to be sure; however, if asked to rank them that is how I would rank them.

NOTE: The fact that I did provide rankings doesn't mean I necessarily believe that it is a good idea to rank sexual sin. Were I a Bishop, there are many factors to take into consideration when determining what counsel should be given and what course of action, if any, should be taken. The main factor being the inspiration of the Spirit, of course.
