dry humping
Simulated intimacy, dressed
Dry humping is simulating sex while clothed, grinding bodies together without genital contact or penetration.
It's associated with teenagers exploring sexuality without going further, but adults do it too—at clubs, in cars, or as foreplay: We dry humped on the couch like we were sixteen again.
