Translation and semantics

[Flashheart]

I'm after someone with a decent knowledge of Greek/Hebrew to answer the following question(s):

When the Bible talks about the concept of sex before marriage being sinful, what do the words used in the original texts infer? Are they exclusive to penetrative sex, or do they incorporate a range of other sexual behaviors and activities such as oral sex or mutual masturbation?

Note that I'm not asking whether or not they are sinful in the first place (I believe they clearly are) but just what behaviors the words originally used infer.

Thanks for your time!

Could you mention some of the verses? Or you could look them up on bible.crosswalk.com: do a search under 'NAS with Strong's', and click on the word you want to see. I don't know off the top of my head.
