Correct to interrupt senators on both sides: they’re involved in Congress (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sex acts

'they're involved in congress' is the definition.
(congress can mean sex)

'correct to interrupt senators on both sides' is the wordplay.
'correct' becomes 'exact' (similar in meaning).
'to interrupt' is an insertion indicator.
'on both sides' suggests removing the centre (the left and right sides of the word are used).
'senators' with its centre taken out is 'ss'.
'exact' placed into 'ss' is 'SEX ACTS'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
