Sex is a basic human need turned into a culture, and something that we can absolutely gen on board with. Having sex has evolved from something primitive to a happiness-hormone trigger that can literally make people feel good about themselves. Sex is more than just pleasure, it’s about self-esteem and human connection, so it has taken many forms in order to become more intimate. So, is sex without penetration even a thing?

What’s in it for Men?

There is a common misconception that pleasurable sex is all about penetration, but once you experiment with something more “out of the box”, you’ll basically discover a new world. For men, sex without intercourse is often associated with a penis massage. However, from a psychological point of view, it would seem that plenty of men find self-masturbation more romantic than being caressed by their partner. So, what to do?

The answer is pretty obvious: gentleman, show your ladies what you like! If you’ve never masturbated in front of your sexual partner, you might find it awkward at first, but there are plenty of women that will look at such a scene with complete arousal. 

But once you get past the psychological barrier, not only will you teach your lady more about what you like, but you will also make her feel like you two have reached a new level an intimacy where you’re not afraid of being exposed in front of her. 

But sex without penetration for men is also about oral stimulation. And here’s one very interesting fact: the penis doesn’t even have to be fully erect in order for them to enjoy it. And one more interesting fact, for the road: men can have an orgasm even without an erection, as long as they find the stimulation really pleasurable.

Some sex toys that might prove useful in this no-penetration play are penis sleeves or artificial vaginas. 

What’s in it for Women?

Since facts don’t lie, here one to remember: 25 percent of women worldwide have sex during penetration; the other 75 percent will require clitoral stimulation. How’s that for motivation to learn more about sex without penetration?

The great thing about women having sex is that they can enjoy both penetration, as well as stimulation at the same time, because anatomy, baby! One of the greatest things about the female body is that there are so many ways for you to stimulate it without actual penetration: be it clitoris vibrators, oral or hand-stimulation. 

If you’ve ever watched the movie “40 days and 40 nights”, you already know about the famous no-penetration sex scene, where John Hartnett (who vowed to last 40 days without sex) caresses his partner Shannyn Sossamon with a flower, making her orgasm. The movie was launched back in 2002 and many people saw that scene as a sugar-coated fantasy you only see in a movie. Well, 2019 ways it’s very possible that women to orgasm even without penetration.
