WHAT DOES SEX PARTNER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sexual partner

Sexual partners are people who engage in sexual activity together. The sexual partners can be of any number, sex, gender, or sexual orientation. The sexual partners may be in a committed relationship, either on an exclusive basis or not, or engage in the sexual activity on a casual basis. They may be on intimate terms or anonymous, as in the case of sex with a stranger, a one night stand, or a prostitute. A person can be another person's sexual partner even if the sexual activity is illegal, socially taboo, or otherwise in breach of a trust or commitment. A person may have more than one sexual partner at any one time, either as polyamory, polygamy or in contravention of convention. The term sexual partner is usually applied to consensual sexual relations, not to those that are forced or result from duress, as in the case of rape or bestiality. In those cases, one party is typically called the perpetrator, and the person against whom the sex act is imposed is called a victim, or by similar terminology. A sexual partner may or may not have equal power during a sexual activity; such sexual "roles" typically fall under various dominance/submission categories.
