There are many ways to dry hump — both with a partner and yourself. Take a look at this article below and get creative.

How To Dry Hump With a Partner

When with a partner, you can begin by rubbing each other's genitals with your hands above the pants. After a minute or two of stimulating yourselves with your hands, move to place your genitals on their thigh or any other body part that looks and feels enticing. Start slowly grinding your loins up and down on the selected body part, increasing speed, pressure, and intensity to your desired liking.

It's essential to take short breaks during dry humping so you don't cause too much friction and hurt your skin. If you begin feeling any pain or discomfort, it means you've been dry humping for too long. That's also an excellent time to switch positions, as well as body parts. If you began on your partner's leg, for example, flip them over and start grinding on their butt or the lower part of their back.

How To Dry Hump by Yourself?

If you've ever wondered how to dry hump by yourself, then you're in luck! The best way to dry hump by yourself is to use a soft surface like a bed, pillow, corner of a couch, or even a carpeted floor. Begin by gently rubbing your genitals up and down across the selected surface.  

Be careful not to use any surfaces that may be too abrasive, as your genitals are sensitive and could cause pain. The key is to stimulate your genitals. Why? Because it feels good!

What to Wear When Dry Humping?

If you're wondering what you should wear when try humping, you've got a few different options.

As an exciting part of foreplay, dry humping can be pleasurable if you keep all your clothes on. It's a great way to tease you and your partner.

Try taking off a layer of clothes and dry hump with just your underwear on as things get heated. This can give you and your partner away to feel closer — but still provides some of the build-ups before all your clothes come off during intercourse.

What Can and Can't Happen When Dry Humping

Let's do a rapid-fire Q&A on dry humping:

Is dry humping sex? Yes, it's sex. Similar to oral sex, like blowjobs and cunnilingus, dry humping is a form of sexual stimulation. The only thing that separates it from other forms of sexual activity is that there is no vaginal, anal, or oral penetration. 

Can you orgasm from dry humping? Most definitely! Orgasms happen when genitalia are stimulated until climax. So if you're dry humping long enough to reach that climax, then you'll get that high.

Is dry humping safe? Yes, for the most part, it's safe. From a sexual standpoint, since there's no genital penetration, chances are meager for contracting a sexually transmitted disease or getting pregnant. 

Physically, there's a potential chance for injury. One of the potential injuries of dry humping is rubbing the skin too much that it can cause rug burn or a rash to form. Another possible injury could be pulling or straining a muscle — especially if you're dry humping in a position that you're generally not used to performing during sexual activity. 

Make sure to stretch your limbs before beginning, and communicate with your partner if you feel any pain.

Can you get an std from dry humping? It's not likely that you can get a sexually transmitted disease via dry humping because most forms of dry humping have barriers of clothing between genitalia and don't involve penetration. STDs are normally spread when bodily fluids — saliva or semen, for example — from someone who has an STD enter their partner's body.

However, the risk is higher if you and your partner are not wearing any clothes and are directly rubbing your genitals on one another. Be sure to use a condom or other protective barrier to protect yourself from STDs if you're not wearing any clothes.

Can you get pregnant from dry humping?

Like getting an STD, it depends on how close the genitals are to each other when the penis ejaculates and how much semen can enter the vagina. If you and your partner are fully clothed, and the male comes in his pants and nowhere near the woman's vagina, the chances of creating a pregnancy are meager. 

Are You Horny Now? Go and Dry Hump Something or Someone!

Dry humping can be very fun, exciting, and stimulating. It's an additional sexual act that you can try with your partner or yourself and another way to step up your foreplay game. Additionally, since there is no genital penetration involved, it's seen as a low-risk alternative to intercourse and the subsequent risks of getting an STD or getting pregnant.

If you're interested in trying dry humping with your partner, begin by asking them their thoughts on the matter. If they seem interested, discuss the different ways that you'd like to try dry humping and how it can be incorporated into your mutual sexual activity.

Oh, and don't forget to pick up some toys!
