Maybe you have a wicked UTI. Maybe you're saving yourself for Jake Gyllenhaal (or Maggie). Maybe you're not into period sex. Maybe you're just not ready to go the full Monty yet but you still want some together time. Or maybe you just want what you want and your reasons are nobody else's business (you go, girl). No matter the reasons, there are so many ways to get it on without getting it in. In fact, you don't even have have to take your clothes off to have a good time. Unless you want to.
According to Planned Parenthood, outercourse has a whole host of definitions. It's basically anything your imagination can conjure up that doesn't involve penetration. And a whole host of benefits. It's free, it doesn't involve mixing fluids together (for the most part), it has a low rate of pregnancy, and it can be a really intimate bonding experience. Here are six ways to be sexual and intimate that don't involve penetration.
1. Frottage
Frottage is a fancy word for good old-fashioned dry humping. According to Planned Parenthood, this form of outercourse doesn't involve mixing fluids together, so it has a it has a low rate of pregnancy, and it can be a really intimate bonding experience. While men can achieve orgasm through this method, it's also especially good for clitoral stimulation in women.
2. Serious Makeout Sesh
Never underestimate the sexual power of a serious makeout session. Long bouts of kissing can be very intimate and satisfying. While you're making out, you can stimulate your sexy parts with you hands, toys, bedding, or the non-genital body parts of your partner. Or you can just make out all hot and heavy until your lips need medical attention. And, according to CNN, kissing is heart healthy, mood boosting, and even helps prevent cavities. All good things.
3. Skype Sex
It's pretty hard to experience penetration when you and your partner are located in different parts of the world. Well, penetration that involves you parts entering your partner's parts, anyway. That doesn't mean you can't have a meaningful and satisfying sexual relationship. Ask any couple a long distance relationship. They will probably tell you that their situation isn't sexless at all. In fact, some studies suggest that people in long distance relationships have even closer relationships than those in the same location, according to Lifehack. Technology like Skype and FaceTime means you can be together without physically being together. Sexy talk, voyeurism, and even toys connected to phone apps let you get your freak on over the phone. Or Computer. Or Tablet.
4. Sex Toys
Whatever you're into, you can be pretty sure there's a sex toy for that. Sex toys are so much more than just vibrators. You can find a multitude of products that deliver a multitude of sensations to many different areas. Some sex toys can even provide solutions to those with medical conditions that limit sexual response, according to Slate. You can use sex toys solo or with your partner. Even if you do purchase a toy designed for penetration, there's no rule that says you have to use it for penetration. For example, vibrators can deliver powerful clit stimulation without ever entering your vagina. And if it's just prevention of pregnancy and STIs that have you avoiding penetration, then you can insert sex toys to your heart's content.
5. Breast And Nipple Play
Some people can achieve orgasm through nipple and breast stimulation alone, according to Cosmopolitan. It might take some practice and not all people can do it, but with enough patience and foreplay, you might surprise yourself or your partner. You can stimulate the nipples and breasts with your mouth and hands or with toys such as vibrators or nipple clamps.
6. Tantric Sex
Tantric sex is all about creating an intense, focused intimate moment, according to Women's Health. During the practice, you breathe together, meditate together, and focus deeply on sensations. Those sensations can come from any type of stimulation, from massage to oral sex. Those who practice report that they can achieve higher levels of pleasure and deeper emotional connections during sex. Some can even reach climax through breathing and meditation alone. Don't feel bad if you can't get there. It often takes years of serious practice.
Adding one or all of these practices to your sexual arsenal can take your sex game to the next level, but can also increase your emotional connection (if that's what you're into). Plus, more ways to have sex means less chance of a rut. And more chance that you get a reputation as a total bedroom goddess.

11 Sex Tips From (And For) Trans People
There are a lot of misconceptions about what it means to be trans, especially when it comes to sex. Between the negative stereotypes and the complete lack of information out there about trans bodies, it can be hard for trans people to find the resources that a lot of cisgender people (aka people who aren't trans) take for granted.
Of course, sex can be a vulnerable topic shrouded in taboo, no matter your gender. But it can be even trickier terrain for trans people, due to the stigma surrounding gender identities that don't match up with the sex on people's birth certificates. And considering how much mainstream sex ed leaves to be desired — particularly when it comes to anyone who isn't cisgender or straight — it's no wonder people understand so little about trans sexuality. Add to that the fact that not all trans people choose to take hormones or undergo gender-affirming surgeries, and you have a society full of misconceptions about what it means to have sex when you're not cisgender.
All of this, unfortunately, can leave trans and other gender non-conforming people ill-equipped to navigate the world of sexual pleasure.
But everyone has the right to safe, consensual, and fun sex, and fostering sex-positive conversations geared towards gender non-conforming people is a vital part of making that belief a reality. So we spoke to S. Bear Bergman, a trans author and sex educator, and Gaines Blasdel, a trans medical case manager at Callen-Lorde, to get some pointers about how to open up these kinds of conversations.
While these tips are geared toward the trans community, keep in mind that they are still relevant to everyone. Whether you’re trans or cis, queer or straight, there's no harm in getting a little more sex education. Besides, as Bergman puts it, “If you like someone and you want to have sex with them, and then it turns out that their genitals aren’t what you thought, like, who in the world cares? It just seems like such a foolish reason to not have sex with them.”
Gender and sexual orientation are both highly personal and constantly evolving. So, in honor of Transgender Awareness Week, we're talking about the importance of language and raising the voices of the LGBTQIA community.
