Dry humping is a form of sexual activity where two people rub their bodies or genitals together, usually while clothed, without direct genital-on-genital contact. It is a non-penetrative sexual act, also known as outercourse, that can result in orgasm for one or both partners. Dry humping can feel like friction and pressure from rubbing genitals against a partner's body, or a gentler rubbing of bodies together, depending on the type of movement used, such as a forward-and-backward humping motion or a circular grinding motion. The sensation is highly personal and depends on individual bodies and preferences, which may include feelings of pleasure from shared intimacy or a sense of being unpressured to perform compared to traditional intercourse. Dry humping can either be used in a situation where the characters are too desperate to climax that they cannot bare to pause long enough to undress, or in a situation where their desire slowly escalates from making out and kissing to slow grinding together to eek out pleasure. If the two characters are women then they may place a thigh between each other's legs to grind on, or one female character can be wearing a strap-on under her clothes - also known as packing - and the other female character may grind on the bulge of the strapon to generate pleasure. The character wearing the strap-on is then stimulated by the pressure of the toy pressing down against their clit when the partner grinds down on the toy. If the two characters are a male and female, then the female character will grind on the male character's erection and the male character will grind his erection on the female's crotch. Typically the characters will climax in their underwear, however, their arousal may seep through the clothing depending on the situation. Despite the characters' sexual pleasure their is the follow up discomfort of their underwear/clothing being now slick with their release and sticking to them.
