Frottage

Frottage is a type of non-penetrative sex in which one rubs oneself against an object or another person to get sex. Other names for it include grinding, petting, forceful petting, and outercourse. This behaviour is sometimes called "dry humping" or "dry sex" when it is carried out while wearing clothing.

Although word is not limited to this act, frottage is sometimes understood to refer exclusively to the rubbing of one penis against another. With or without a penis, frottage can be enjoyable for people of any gender, sexual orientation, or genital structure.

It can involve massaging any erogenous area, whether or not one is wearing clothing, to elicit sensual pleasure. It may or may not cause an orgasm, and it can be done alone or with a partner.

It can be delightful for those who have penises to grind and rub their penis against various surfaces, items, or body parts of a partner who is willing. Clitoral stimulation is frequently required for vulva-afflicted individuals to have orgasm. For this reason, frottage can be a compelling method for them to feel pleasure and achieve orgasm.

Ways to Practice Frottage

Frottage can be done in a variety of ways, with or without a partner:

Frottage with a Partner

Frottage can occur as a reaction to stoke excitement that has already been stoked or as part of a warm-up intended to start sexual arousal. It may be the beginning of the sexual action, the focal point, or the last act.

Both naked and clothed, frotting can be done in the most popular partner sex positions. Lube can be applied to lessen the friction caused by skin rubbing against skin. The use of sex toys can improve or change the feelings experienced by the participants. To create a distinct kind of stimulation at the site of contact, for instance, a vibrator can be positioned between the two bodies.

Dry Humping

Frottage is sometimes referred to as heavy petting or dry humping when it is done while wearing clothing. It is implied that because clothes are a barrier, body fluids are typically not engaged in this action. As a result, it is frequently regarded as a safer sexual practice and a way to avoid getting pregnant.

The amount of friction will vary depending on the substance. Denim jeans, for instance, will create more friction than silk or light cotton. As a result, one may feel various emotions while performing the act.

Frottage as Masturbation

Frottage can also be done by itself as a type of masturbation. It is not unusual for this approach to serve as an initiation to masturbation due to its ease of use.

Standard and accessible frotting objects include pillows, plush animals, mattress or furniture edges, and specially made sex pillows. Additionally, there are sex gadgets that are made especially for humping or grinding. While some of these toys are inert, others might vibrate.
