1/5

Why is dry humping good for you

Dry humping is the safest and it involves zero penetration. There are so many moments in our lives when we cannot have sex but want to and that is when dry humping steps in. To fulfill that urge, dry humping can be the best way out with both partners feeling satisfied in the end. Here is a list of the advantages of dry humping.

2/5

It is safe

There is no risk of getting sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy when you opt for dry humping.

3/5

It is not awkward

Sometimes, sex can be awkward if there is not enough space or you are too consious of your body at that moment. Dry humping can be very much sexually gratifying too. You can do it in different positions and ways and still have fun.

4/5

There is no right or wrong technique

You can dry hump in any way you want. You can try it while standing, lying down, clothed or just in your underwear. All you have to do is rub against your partner. Many dry hump against their partner’s hip or thigh bone because it hits the right spot.

5/5

You can do it without your partner

You do not always need your partner just like masturbation. You can go solo in several different ways. All you have to do is find a surface which does not have sharp edges. You can use a pillow, a stuffed toy and some people like the vibration of the washing machine too. You can also use your furniture if you know what we mean.


Tips for best experience

Wear the right clothes

Steer clear of belt buckles and zippers. Wear silky materials, thin clothes for that enhanced sensation. It should be loose and have enough space for your erection.



Try the right position

You can go for a missionary with your pillow or toy below you if going solo. If you are doing it with a partner, then too this position is brilliant. Another position that you can try is the cowgirl where one partner can straddle and the friction is the best.
