  I still claim this is too simplified, the proof is by counter-example.
I have been involved in a relationship that included passionate kisses
that was definitely *not* an SOship. I have even been involved in relationships
that included sex that were *not* SOships. The *only* thing that determines
an SOship is a mutual commitment between the partners involved. Everything
else is just surface stuff that varies a lot from one relationship to another.
