Is oral sex considered intercourse?

A few of my friends think it isn't, but some of them do. If one were to engage in oral sex would they still be a virgin? Thank you.

Hi there.  Intercourse is the technical term for a penis in the vagina.  Oral sex is sexual activity.  It's not intercourse and losing one's virginity usually implies having vaginal sex.  However, I say that if someone is engaging in oral sex, they are indeed sexually active.  they may still be a virgin, but are engaging in sexual acts.  good luck
