I would assume she was quite serious--and also probably correct in her
description. Sexual satisfaction (however defined) clearly can be the
result of innumerable different activities. Procreation, I dare say, is a
side effect of some but not most of these 'activities.' After all, the
very term "heterosexuality" only came into existence when it became at
least potentially possible for men and women openly to disregard
procreation in their sexual activity. Why shouldn't she be serious?
