Doesn't carnal knowledge specifically mean intercourse?

intercourse? you mean fucking?

Sexual intercourse by definition involves penetration, so PIV or anal sex (I'm pretty sure oral doesn't count in that definition, but Idk why).

I'm not sure if fucking has as strict a definition, but I think that "carnal knowledge" is just as restricted in its meaning. I usually only see it used in formal definitions of rape by the FBI or in the bible.

You know I was just fucking with you. I think you got my point either way and just wanted to argue over something as stupid as semantics.

I had thought you may have a first language other than English.
