Outercourse is a good option too
Outercourse is a type of sex where there is no penetration. An antonym for intercourse, for many outercourse is as relaxing and soothing as intercourse. It is also considered to be safe sex as there is no sort of penetration involved in this. The non penetrative sex or the no penis-in-vagina sex has several advantages over the traditional sex method, one of which is less risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
Is it the same as foreplay?
Well, there is a thin boundary that separates intercourse from outercourse. Foreplay is the act before a sexual activity; so there is a chance of penetrative sex following foreplay activity. However, in the case of outercourse no penetration is involved. The sexual act culminates without the traditional sex.
What counts in outercourse?
While mostly it depends on the choice of the individuals, commonly the outercourse includes: kissing, massage, dry humping, use of sex toys, stimulation like fingering, oral sex and masturbation.
Why is outercourse the best option?
Apart from the pleasure factor there are several health benefits too. It favors those who do not like penetration. It can never make you pregnant because no penetration, no pregnancy. For those men who have difficulty in erection and penetration, outercourse is the best solution for sexual pleasure. For those women who get extreme pain during sex, outercourse is the right thing.
More women are interested for outercourse than intercourse: Study
As per a study carried by the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University many women had agreed that intercourse alone was not enough for orgasm and they always needed more. These women were not aware of outercourse. But the need for more can be met with foreplay and of course outercourse.
Are there any risks involved?
Well, there are always risks associated with sexual activities. While the risk of STDs is low in outercourse as no penetration is involved, skin to skin contact can give rise to several health issues if proper hygiene is not followed.
Always clean yourself before and after the sex. If you are using sex toys, clean them properly before using them and also after you are done with the sexual act.
Always remember, be it intercourse or outercourse whenever you are engaged with someone in a sexual activity maintain cleanliness to avoid contracting infections.
