Hmmm. I'm not sure I have an actual definition of shipping. It varies from fandom to fandom, for me (and sometimes even from pairing to pairing in the same fandom).

I do know that for me, shipping doesn't necessarily mean "I want to read about them having sex". Actually, I didn't notice some fans do consider shipping = sex until I saw people in the Avatar fandom say things like "why would you ship 14-year-olds, they're too young for sex".

does that still count as shipping, or is that gen or friendship?
... and then it gets even more complicated, because people have different definitions of shipping and also different definitions of gen.
