Dry humping might sound ridiculous but there is actually more to it than meets the eye.

Dry humping is a form of outercourse which, as you might have guessed, means lovemaking without any penetration.

As outercourse is a part of foreplay it is not often considered as a separate act at all and just a means of “getting the groove on”.

However, there's another side to that coin: dry humping can be done without any “play” afterward and it can still benefit the relationship.

In the past couple of days, the internet has been amazed (and a bit stunned) by a video made by the Hambone Group. The video showcased an alleged “dry humper” – a guy who gets paid to dry hump his clients.

He refers to the sessions as “alternative love therapy” sessions and as the client confession refers, it really is therapeutic.

Though it can't be said for certain this video is legitimate, it does raise a good question and awareness: dry humping is not just silly foreplay which should lead to “real” sex, it's a means of staying connected to your partner and revealing stress.

Dry humping is not just for virgins and birth control

Outercourse is usually thought as a means of avoiding accidental pregnancy and just keeping your virginity – we all have some experiences with outercourse as teens when we weren't quite sure yet whether it's a good idea to go to the “next level”.

So, during a steamy making-out session, a nice decent dry humping was in order.

Even if you are in a committed relationship and you've shared many hot moments together, dry humping should not dwell in the past. It can actually add a lot of heat to the relationship and shake up old bedroom habits.

In long-term relationships, sex can become more of a habit than an act of passion. That's where dry humping comes in.

Without having the goal of “getting to the end”, what's left is purely connecting with your partner. You'll pay more attention to every movement and breath as well as learn how the partner's body reacts to certain movements.

That might inspire you to later try those newly learned tricks while you are full-on play mode.

Dry humping gives somewhat freedom as well since you don't have the fear of getting pregnant. That way you can freely test and play. Knowing you don't have any risks relieves stress and lets you experiment with different things, all thanks to the safety of having your clothes on.

Another nice perk is trying dry humping in various places outside the bedroom – even at some public places! Yes, you read that correctly! You can tease each other and play around without breaking any laws. Kinky moments like that will make you closer to each other for sure.

Next time in your bedroom, forget the traditional habits and get groovy with your partner by experimenting with outercourse. No goals, no risks, and pure fun – there are more than a couple of reasons why dry humping is not just for teenagers but for all who want to spice up the relationship.
