  dry humping  

Dry humping is a form of "outercourse," which is sexual activity without any penis penetration (intercourse).
 
 

Dry humping is when two people rub their bodies against each other--often moving their genitals together and simulating the motions of intercourse without actually having it. People can be partially or fully clothed or not wear clothes at all. It's also called dry sex or frottage.
 
 

Dry humping is a good option for people who don't feel ready or don't want to have sexual intercourse. As with this and any other sexual activity, you should always feel comfortable about what you are doing and who you are doing it with.
 
 

Dry humping can be very pleasurable in and of itself, and can stimulate one or both people to orgasm.
 
 

Dry humping is considered a safer sex activity because generally, no body fluids are exchanged between the partners. It is safer to do with clothes on since: 1. If a female's vagina is exposed and a male ejaculates on or near the vaginal opening, pregnancy is possible. Without any semen-to-vagina contact, pregnancy is impossible. 2. Sexually transmitted diseases like herpes and genital warts can be transmitted through dry humping if there is bare skin-to-skin contact with an infected partner.
