1. intercourse

   Conversation (Latin con, with) is, etymologically, an interchange of ideas with some other person or persons. Talk may be wholly one-sided. Many brilliant talkers have been incapable of conversation. There may be intercourse without conversation, as by looks, signs, etc.; communion is of hearts, with or without words; communication is often by writing, and may be uninvited and unreciprocated. Talk may denote the mere utterance of words with little thought; thus, we say idle talk, empty talk, rather than idle or empty conversation. Discourse is now applied chiefly to public addresses. A conference is more formal than a conversation. Dialog denotes ordinarily an artificial or imaginary conversation, generally of two persons, but sometimes of more. A colloquy is indefinite as to number, and generally somewhat informal. Compare BEHAVIOR.

   Synonyms:
   chat, colloquy, communication, communion, confabulation, conference, conversation, converse, dialogue, discourse, parley, talk

   Preposition:
   Conversation with friends; between or among the guests; about a matter.

1. William Whitehead:

   These findings will likely become an important part of the patient education counseling physicians provide to their patients, while it is tempting to think that only the rare patient who is a gay male would benefit from such counseling, this study makes it clear that anal intercourse is a common practice that is not limited to gay men.
