sexual acts

Carnal bedroom activities

Sexual acts are physical behaviors intended to produce sexual arousal or gratification.

The term encompasses everything from kissing and touching to intercourse, used especially in legal, medical, or clinical contexts where precision matters: The law prohibits certain sexual acts between adults and minors.

In everyday speech, people more often say "sex" or "hooking up."
