What exactly is dry sex? I think I get the point that it's sex, with clothes on, but what's the point - what pleasure is there with clothes in the way??

Seriously, people can like it for any number of reasons: they find sexual pleasure in the way parts of their bodies rub against other people's bodies; they find physical (but non-sexual) pleasure in the contact or; they find romantic or emotional pleasure in the closeness they have with a partner like that.

well, when your having dry sex the guy has an erection and your rubbing your vagina on it through your clothes (you are usually in your underwear) and it feels really good sometimes and thats why people do it.

*giggle* Well, I know I enjoyed it for the sensual pleasure of rubbing so close together with someone. The friction is nice. Plus, you get into that sexy mindset without actually exchanging any fluid, etc., so it can be simpler for those who don't want to partake in more at this point in their lives. Heck. It's fun at any time to me, and certainly makes making out even better!

dry sex is a great thing! its sooo much fun, without worring about getting pregnant any stuff... i mean sure there's always that risk factor, but its a lot lower than having actual sex. and bsides i dont get totally selfconsious about myself cause my close are on... well most of them at least lol... anywat... yah so... its easier to cover up cause i can throw my shirt back on rather than... well everything if i was having sex you know? bsides it great excercise lol...
of course not everyone agrees, my best friend wouldnt do it at all cause she considers it a step right before sex, but i dont... its like somewhere around 1.5 i think... but thats just in my mind.. diff people feel diff ways about it... if its not for you thats understandable... diff people like diff things
hope i helped

I quite like it!! I'm close to my boyfriend and I love him laying on top of me. We don't have to go the whole way, and it's doesn't matter so much if other people are in the house at the time coz you can hide what you're doing easily unlike actual sex! I find it a turn on coz my boyfriend gets a buzz out of it as well. Like everyone else has pointed out, different strokes for different folks!

Many people like dry sex because of the sensuality they feel, while still being safe (not having to worry so much about STD's, pregnancy, etc.)

I think holding hands is one of the most intimate things two people can do. I feel a rush of security when I hold someone's hand; especially those of the opposite sex.
That's why some people like dry sex. It also reduces the risk of STDs a lot, and some people just like it better. I think that whenever I start having sex, I will too.

Dry sex can be a really great thing.. ive been going out with my b/f for a year and a half and im in 11th grade, but up until the year anniversary, i wasnt ready to have sex and dry was great because 1. its makes kissing that much more fun. 2. it gets you comfortable with yourself 3. you get comfortable with the rythms of your bodies.. u find sumthing that suites you both 4. my house is ALWAYS filled with people, we can never have sex, its too risky, lol.. but dry is convenient and safe and you both get turned on by it.. and you dont even have to wear underwear.. i usually have a bra and pj pants on.. sexy i know, haha.. well, hope that helped!

Hey folks, let's keep in mind that dry sex is not "safe". Any form of sexual activity comes with risks, and dry sex still has some STD and pregnancy risks associated with it...this especially comes into play when fewer layers of clothing are involved. Remember that if fluids soak through, there is at least some risk.

WHAT! I thought dry sex was like totally safe... ut oh! What if fluids dont soak through? then its totally safe right? if not how do you make it safe? EEKS

the point is, when you engage in any sexual activity, you have to accept the risks involved. even small risks are risks. so it's a matter of being as resposible as you possibly can and taking every precaution before trying anything.
in the case of dry sex with a guy, put a condom on him as soon as he's hard!

I thought that Dry Sex is when there is no lubercation in intercourse and that outercourse is when you rub up against each other with your clothes on, please explain.

Yup, you probably won't find it in a dictionary ... but it was originally coined (I think by sex therapists) to describe any sex not including intercourse, to try and remind people that there's way more to sex than intercourse alone .
quote:can anyone give me the specific word for rubbing vulvæ together? i know there is a specific term for this.
"Tribadism" might be the one you're thinking of. Technically it refers to any "rubbing" sex, but it's mostly used in the context of lesbian sex.
