What is humping?

"Hump" literally means "monter" in French… Hard to imagine what that could refer to, I'll grant you that! We're actually talking about friction to explore new sensations. Fans of non-penetrative sex, this article is for you — and for all the curious ones out there too 🙂

Another marvel of external stimulation!

In practice, it involves pressing or rubbing your intimate parts against your partner or against any other object or surface that would provide pleasant sensations… To call a spade a spade, it's another way of masturbating. In other words, one more thing to try… Yhaa!

Not that our hands, those of our partners or our toys don't do the job… But slipping into your "Q-adventurer" outfit from time to time is a piece of advice we'd like to give you.

Regularly trying new practices is the guaranteed way to fully explore your pleasure, to discover things that give you out-of-this-world orgasms when you would never have necessarily suspected it!

You may have already discovered it!

Contact with sexuality can occur relatively early in children. It is generally through friction — on their pillow, for example — that they discover a certain sensitivity, in other words the erogenous power, of certain areas of their body.

There's nothing "strange" about it — discovering one's body is a perfectly natural process.

The big plus of trying it as an adult is that you already know your body! You're therefore able to adapt the practice to your preferences and… Jackpot, the climax is easily within reach — gold rather within reach of your clitoris/penis…

And concretely, how does humping work?

It can be practised solo or with a partner, clothed or not! You just need to find the method that suits you and gives you the most sensations.

Whether it's the glans of the penis gold that of the clitoris, both are packed with sensory receptors. It's thanks to them that these areas of the body are so sensitive. And sensitive means receptive to stimulation.

A crossing of legs, trousers coming into contact with your intimate area and there you go… A pleasant sensation washes over you. Well, that's a bit the principle here! We're looking for that little bit of friction that brings pleasure.

Solo, it can involve swaying your hips to stimulate your intimate area on a pillow, a sheet, the edge of your bathtub for an extra cool sensation… Gold any other surface that could feel pleasant! You simply need to make sure the material of the chosen surface is not irritating.

With a partner, gold even with several people, it is possible to seek out sensations through contact with a part of your partner(s)' body. The genitals, the arm, the chest…

Once you have the green light from your other half, your imagination is the only limit to finding the most enjoyable way to stimulate yourself!

It is also possible to practise humping with accessories. I have in mind a little gem, other than connected eggs, that allows you to play together and savour humping moments with an extra touch! It's the Pulse Duo.

It is placed on the penis and requires no back-and-forth movement as it emits oscillations. The partner can therefore press up against their partner and make contact with the toy to create friction while enjoying the stimulation offered by the Pulse Duo. A little marvel worth trying!

You can also play with vibrating pebbles! Placed between two partners, a guaranteed explosion of sensations awaits. The Hera from Love and Care and its 10 mind-blowing vibration modes is perfect for trying out this practice!
