My friend and I are having an argument. I say oral sex is enough to make you a member. She says in order to be a member, you have to have intercourse. Who’s right? ---

There are no polls other than what you yourself enter in the post. The poll fucntion itself is turned off, I believe. ---

You know, we had a constitutional crisis about this just recently, except it was a small room of the Oval Office. According to Ken Starr: Yes, according to the Paula Jones trial judge, no. ---

Why the Mile High club? Most airplanes cruise at four or five or six miles above sea level. And, with the term “mile high”, would having sex in Denver or Albuquerque qualify you? After all, both cities are a mile above sea level. ---

Has to be full intercourse. I had always heard that one of the involved parties had to be flying the airplane, but I guess that rule is limited to the pilot community. Never heard it anywhere else. “Yeah baby, whose yer pilot in command? I am!” ---

Probably intercourse. Just out of interest, how easy is it to actually do the deed? The airline toilets I’ve been in are probably too cramped for anyone to enjoy the sex properly. ---

I object to insistence upon intercourse as a prerequisite for membership into this club, as it is discriminatory to homosexuals. ---

How so? Homosexuals can have intercourse, too. Merriam-Webster says so. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-what-constitutes-being-a-member-of-the-mile-high-club/133373.md?page=2)
