Hugging is, potentially, fast: if A tries to hug B and B pulls away, a hug has still occurred. Sex takes longer: there’s complicated steps involving disrobing and so forth. Your argument applies to, say, groping; but if B doesn’t want to cooperate then that becomes relevant before sex has occurred. It’s clear (“safe”, “take matters into her own hands”) that there is not a reliable way of getting out of sex.
Also, the dialogue (“Prohibition”, “too much”) seems to suggest social acceptance.
That’s a good point, but I’m still not convinced.
