And didn't I hear an interesting tid-bit on the radio this weekend, that
judges in Taiwan (or somewhere) have ruled that oral sex is *not* considered
sex at all--I believe this was in regard to 'committing adultery'. As it
stands, if your spouse has oral sex with someone who isn't you, you cannot
sue for divorce on the grounds of adultery.
Though if your spouse is having oral sex with someone who isn't you and you
have an issue with that, there are probably bigger issues with your
marriage, and adultery is the least of your problems.
