Any way you do it, however you define it.
In other words, what "sex" even IS varies pretty widely from person-to-person and day-to-day, and can be or include ANY number of
sexual

activities. Intercourse is
sex
(sex: Different things people choose to do to actively express or enact sexuality and sexual feelings; often this involves genitals, but not always. )
, but so is

,
anal sex
(anal sex: Sexual activity involving the anus. Anal sex may include stimulation with fingers, the mouth, a penis, sex toys, or other objects or body parts.)
,
manual sex
(manual sex: Sometimes also called digital sex. Kinds of sex involving the hands and fingers to sexually stimulate the genitals or other parts of the body. Fingering, handjobs or "fisting" (deep manual sex) are some kinds of manual sex.)
,
making out
(making out: A vague term, but often a session of extended activity that includes passionate or deep kissing, some kind of other body contact and may even include other kinds of sex, like manual sex (fingering or handjobs).)
,
frottage

(cybersex: Virtual (as in, not in person) sexual experiences or encounters which involve text conversations and/or visual exchanges via the Internet.)
,

masturbation
(masturbation: Ways that people seek out and/or experience sexual pleasure by themselves, without a sexual partner.)
...and just about anything else you can dream up in which one or more than one person is doing something seeking or experiencing sexual gratification.
And how any one person or more does those given activities also varies: by position, by how people are touching each other, what body parts come into play, the works. Sex between people is basically improvisational dance: how two people do something is (and should be) about what feels good to both of them, with their unique bodies and preferences, and how both uniquely work together.
So, in short, you asked a much bigger question than you perhaps meant to ask. Your best bet? Peek around the whole site here if you're thinking about one particular sexual activity. Experiment with and talk with your

(partner: In a sexual context, a person with whom someone is having some kind of sex. The term "partner" can be used for all kinds of relationships, not just serious ones. "Partner" can also mean the person someone is with in a romantic or familial partnership.)

out
(out: Short for ‘out of the closet’. When someone’s LGBTQ+ identity is known to other people.)
