         DefinitionShort: the sexual function or use of the same or opposite sex

         Glosses: ['sexual function', 'sexual use']

         Comments: It is often possible to refer to ‘natural sexual function’ as ‘sexual relations with the opposite sex’ or ‘men having sexual relations with women.’ ‘That which is contrary to nature’ may be expressed often as ‘men having sexual relations with men’ and ‘women having sexual relations with women.’ In many societies homosexuality is almost unknown, but there are always ways of speaking about such relations in a euphemistic manner.
