Dry humping is a favorite pass-time of adolescents who are beginning the exploration of their sexual lives, but it’s also an activity that many adults continue to practice at least on occasion. One of the challenges associated with this enjoyable form of sexual contact is the penis pain that can sometimes result. Keeping up proper penis care includes finding ways to indulge in this form of entertainment with a minimal amount of penile soreness.

What it is

Sometimes referred to as outercourse, dry humping is sexual activity that is undertaken with the genitals securely beneath some form of clothing. That may mean that two people are fully clothed, or they may be wearing only underwear. In the summer, a popular form of outercourse involves sexual stimulation while wearing swimsuits.

The form of sexual activity may be masturbation or simulated intercourse; for the latter, two bodies rub against each other, with a form of clothing providing protection and preventing any actual penetration of the penis into the vagina.

There should also be no exchange of bodily fluids from the genitals in dry humping. Often, of course, a man may release his load into his clothes while engaging in dry humping. When this happens, care must be taken to ensure that the semen does not soak through to the vagina. For this reason, some men opt to wear a condom, even when also wearing pants and/or underwear while engaging in outercourse. Dry humping is generally considered a form of safe sex, but there can still be accidental exchanges of fluids.

Adult fun

Dry humping, as discussed earlier, is more of an adolescent activity, but it can add variety to an adult’s sex life. For some, engaging in outercourse can bring back the thrill associated with their first teenage romances. For others, it’s a way to engage in sex in a semi-public situation without fear of exposure. Some men also enjoy the experience of unloading in their pants.

Although dry humping is typically a couple’s game, some men masturbate alone by dry humping. In this case, a man remains clothed while rubbing his crotch against an object. Often that object is a pillow, which the man places under his penis and rubs against as if he were engaging in sex with a woman.

Pain

The drawback with dry humping for men is that it can result in some degree of penis pain – and sometimes that can be quite a significant degree. In some cases, the pain comes from the penis not being allowed to roam and swing freely as it does when unclad. This can occasionally result in the penis thrusting at an unexpected angle and bending painfully.

More common is pain derived from rawness. Instead of being lubricated and inserted into a vagina (which itself may have achieved a degree of natural lubrication), the unlubricated penis is rubbing against fabric. Often that fabric is rough, such as denim, or the tool may rub against the metallic teeth of the zipper. Caught up in the ecstatic frenzy of the moment, the man continues thrusting, only later realizing that he has rubbed his penis quite raw.

This kind of dry humping-related penis pain is best attended to by liberally applying a top-drawer penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) directly to the tool. The raw penis needs the soothing qualities of a crème that contains a powerhouse combination of a high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) and a natural hydrator (like vitamin E) to create a quality moisturizing base. Often, rough handling such as occurs with dry humping also results in deadened nerves. Using a crème with acetyl L-carnitine, a neuroprotective enzyme, helps guard against this problem and keeps the penis cells properly oxygenated. Clearly, any man with penis pain from dry humping (or other causes) needs to make a penis health crème a part of his daily maintenance routine.
