When most of us think about sex, we commonly define it as INTERCOURSE. However, intercourse is just one aspect of sex. In fact, there are so many orgasmic things and intimate activities lovers can do for each other without engaging in intercourse! I’m talking about sexual OUTERCOURSE and its forms and variations that can benefit your sex lives in soooo many ways!

What sexual outercourse is all about?
When we think about sexual intercourse, there’s no doubt about its definition. Sexual intercourse is penetrative type of sex, where a man puts his penis inside a woman’s vagina or butt. As simple as that. But when we think about sexual outercourse… What is it? Is it sex? Or is it something like “having sex without having sex”? Basically, “outercourse” is a term used for sexual activities and physical interactions that don’t involve oral sex, vaginal-penile and anal intercourse. Personally, I define sexual outercourse as a non-penetrative form of intimacy. For me, true intimacy is about the feelings of a deep heart-soul-body connection and closeness with your lover, and the intimacy does not necessarily have to end in sexual penetration. Sexual outercourse is a form of sex play when lovers explore each other’s entire body rather than focus their attention solely on the privy parts. Actually, every couple has their own definition of the outercourse. But usually, outercourse behaviors include mutual masturbation, erotic phone talk, erotic massage, engaging in sexual role-playing, bathing together, handjobs, footjobs, tit sex, and more. Believe it or not, but great outercourse may lead to a great orgasm.
Let’s find out why lovers may engage in outercourse, and what are the forms of this sensual act!
When and why lovers may engage into sexual outercourse:
a) when one partner doesn’t feel like “going all the way”
b) when lovers choose to abstain from sex for some reasons
c) when condoms or other contraceptives are not in handy

e) when one lover is sore
f) when a lover has an infection

Finally, I want to briefly describe some of the forms of outercourse mentioned above. I guess there are those of you who don’t know much about, for example, femoral sex, intergluteal sex or axillary intercourse (such ugly words for such fun and unusual sexual activities, right?). Let me take a glass of water and a deep breath, and we’ll continue. See, I want you to know everything about sex and become great lovers ever. And, I guess, reading my lengthy posts is a nice way to exercise your patience! Remember, patience is the secret to a great lover. With this in mind, READ ON. Okay? (lol)
Mutual masturbation is the manual stimulation of each other’s privy parts. There is also non-contact mutual masturbation when one lover is stimulating herself/himself while the other is watching, but not touching each other. Mutual masturbation can be done as a part of foreplay or simply as an alternative to casual intercourse. It is a wonderful way to learn more about each other’s pleasure-spots and get sexual release through sensual touching, rubbing, kissing each other’s most intimate places!
Erotic massage or sensuous massage is the use of massage techniques to enhance sexual pleasure and sensations. Erotic massages typically involve touching erogenous zones of the person and stimulating his/her private parts. Erotic massage is a very pleasurable form of non-penetrative sexual activity which really helps to heighten the sensitivity of the body and add variety to a relationship. Moreover, erotic massage may be used professionally to help some men learn to control premature ejaculation.
Sensual bathing together can be a very intimate and romantic experience! While bathing, you may take turns massaging each other; whisper sweet nothings; play with waterproof sex toys; feed each other fresh fruits; listen to the sensual music; playfully wash and dry each other, especially in front of the mirrors! A sensual bath is one of the most wonderful gifts two people can give each other!
Tit sex (aka titty fuck, tit wank and mammary intercourse) is stimulation of the penis by the woman’s breasts! A man is placing his lovestick in the lady’s cleavage and thrusting between her lovely breasts, while the breasts are squeezed around the penis! Tit sex can be combined with a blowjob! When a guy ejaculates on the woman’s neck or breast it is called “pearl necklace”. Which woman doesn’t love a pearl necklace huh? ;)
Handjob is the manual stimulation of a man’s love-muscle, the dick. A handjob may be part of foreplay before an intercourse! And it can provide amazing pleasure to a man when lovers don’t want (or can’t) “go all the way”. Using oils and lubricants for your handjob sessions can really enhance the pleasure!
Footjob is stimulating a man’s love-tool with the feet. Soft female feet stroking up and down the dick… not only it may be very exciting for some lovers, it may be an amazing visual turn-on! Although this unusual form of non-penetrative sex is mainly admired by those folks with a foot fetish, but in fact anyone should try this out! Definitely worth a try!
Breasts stimulation is one more way to get sexual pleasure and even orgasm (for some women) without inserting penis-into-vagina. Men’s nipples can be a source of fun and pleasure to men and women. Women’s nipples can be a source of fun and pleasure to men and women. So what not to play with them? Plus, we women have a secret inside us: our breasts are connected to our clit. So when the nipples are stimulated, many women feel their pussy getting very wet and excited AND some women ever get the breast orgasm!
Intercrural sex (aka femoral/interfemoral sex) is a type of intercourse variously regarded as penetrative and non-penetrative sex, in which a man places his dick between the other partner’s legs or upper thighs, and thrusts to create friction! Some women can orgasm through the femoral contact! Using a lubricant for this sex play is a very good idea, guys!
Intergluteal sex is pressing the penis against or between the cheeks of a woman’s butt (aka butt cleavage or gluteal cleft). How to perform it? There’s probably nothing easier. Ladies, get your lovely butt ready. Guys, lube up her butt cleavage and place your manhood in that cleavage! Ladies, now squeeze your pretty buttocks. Now guys rub it all against her tender flesh! Play safe and enjoy! Ahh, I remember that exciting feeling of having a man’s hard tool between my butt cheeks… What a pleasure!
Axillary intercourse is one more form of outercourse or non-penetrative sex in which a man places his penis under the armpit of his woman to stimulate himself! Guys, if you decide to try this out, don’t forget to lubricate your lady’s armpit and your dick. Place your lovestick in the clean and smooth armpit of your lady and thrust back and forth as she holds her arm close to her body!
Fingering is using your fingers to stimulate a woman’s Holy of Holies, her pussy and its beautiful surroundings. It is analogous to the handjob (manual stimulation of the penis), and is a common form of mutual masturbation and non-penetrative sex. Sexual fingering, whether it’s clitoral, vaginal or anal, is one of the greatest ways to stimulate your woman to orgasm! When engaging in fingering, please always remember about safety. I guess the last thing you want is an infection.
Cybersex (aka ‘cybering’, computer sex, net sex or web sex) is a virtual sex encounter in which two or more persons interact over the internet and send one another sexual messages. For example, the participants may describe their sexual experiences/actions and share erotic fantasies to stimulate their own and other’s sexual feelings. Cybersex is commonly performed in web chats or forums, and via instant messaging systems. It can also be performed using webcam, voice chat systems like Skype, or online games. Cybering is a great outercourse option not only for those who have no prior knowledge of one another, but also for those lovers who are geographically separated.
Dry humping has different definitions. Some people think it means going through the motions of sexual intercourse (like rubbing bodies or moving up and down, back and forth) being fully clothed. Others think it can be done when all clothing or various pieces of clothing are off, but the penis should not come in contact with the pussy. Whatever the definition, dry humping is still a fun way to enjoy each other avoiding sexual intercourse!
Playing games, not only it is a great way to engage in outercourse , it is also a wonderful way to having a better sex and relationship overall. You may play that familiar Strip poker; Q&A (asking each other sexual questions); “Under no circumstances” (requires a lot of willpower; without tying your lover’s hands, tell him/her he/she cannot touch you no matter what you do, even if you lap dance or stimulate yourself in front of your lover). You may want to check out my post on sexual games! Who said sex without *having sex* can’t be fun? ;)
Using sex toys is a lot of fun because sex toys are fun! Sex toys are sexual enhancement devices that bring novelty into your sex life, and allow you to stimulate each other to earth-shattering orgasms! With remote control sex toys, vibrators to be precise, designed to allow a partner to control the toy, you can play without even touching each other! Why not? Anticipation and the urge to have an intercourse may well lead to orgasm!
Wheew :) Hopefully, you managed to read the entire post. As you see, there are many other ways to feel physically close without having intercourse. Whatever your reasons and circumstances to engage in outercourse activities, having an outercource is no less a pleasure than having an intercourse! Have fun, stay safe and don’t forget to share your experiences with me! See you soon!
