It's a handy thing to do any time you want to be able to deny you are sexually involved with someone. I have a friend who insists she is not having an affair, because she has not had intercourse outside her marriage. She is sexaullly involved with another man, but since they haven't had intercourse, she considers that they haven't had sex, and so she's not having an affair.
