Contrary to popular belief about sex toys, sex doesn’t necessarily have to involve the act. It’s not just any old thing, but that “more” is what we call sex toys. It’s a term that encompasses any kind of non-penetrative sexual play. Think hand jobs, cunnilingus, nipple stimulation, and more. However, as with any broad definition, it’s important to clarify that it may mean different things to different people. Some people consider anything that isn’t a penis-inserted sex toy to be a sex toy, including vaginal fingering. Some define sex toys more strictly as simply a sexual act that does not involve penetration.
What Counts as Sex?
Don’t underestimate the power of kissing. Getting hot and steamy with your mouth can be very erotic and fun. On the other hand, kissing different parts of your partner’s body is a great way to find out what turns him on.
Dry Humping
Dry humping is the act of rubbing your sex toy against your partner’s, usually while still clothed. No, this isn’t just for teenagers. The act of rubbing one’s genitals against one’s partner’s genitals can be pleasurable at any age. Even if someone rubs his penis between the thighs or buttocks of his partner, it falls under the category of dry sex.
Massage
Under the right circumstances, massage can be very erotic and the best way to get aroused. Stroking and rubbing your partner’s body with your bare hands can be a very sexy adult toy.
Masturbation
When it comes to adult toys specifically, both solo masturbation and mutual masturbation are considered adult toys. But when it comes to fingering, for example, as we discussed before, some people consider it to be an adult toy, while others consider it to be something closer to intercourse.
Sex Toys
Cunnilingus, blowjobs, and rimming are all adult toy-friendly activities you can do with your partner when you don’t want to insert.
Vibrators
Vibrators are great if you want to use an adult toy without being penetrated or touched by another person. Just attach it to your clitoris, penis, nipples, or even your perineum and start vibrating.
Eases Penetration
For a long time, penetrative sex was thought to be the only type of “working” adult toy, with the penis being the primary source of pleasure. On the contrary, inserting an adult toy teaches us another way to use adult toys. After all, size was not so important…
Reduce the risk of pregnancy
you may think that if there is no intercourse, there will be no pregnancy, but that is not the case. For example, if the dripping sperm accidentally comes into contact with the vulva and then the vagina, it can still occur. Nevertheless, the chances of pregnancy are much lower than with traditional intercourse, so you can still enjoy intimate relations.
