There are many alternatives to intercourse where sexual gratification can occur without the worries of contraception or sexually transmitted diseases. These alternatives are often considered by people who are concerned about unwanted pregnancy but, for whatever reasons, do not wish to or cannot practice safe sex by using some kind of contraceptive measure. Many people think that these alternatives are wrong or that they cannot possibly offer a gratifying sexual relationship. The key to that is how you pleasure your partner. Better to consider some alternatives to putting yourself, and your partner at risk. There are too many unplanned pregnancies.

There are too many occasion when sexually transmitted diseases are caught by unsuspecting partners. So if some people are trying to enjoy their relationships in different, safe, ways who is to decide whether their ways are right or wrong. The fact that someone chooses to try things differently should not impact on your decisions, but it could teach you something. Touch between two consenting adults is a very exciting thing. There is no reason why this cannot be a form of sexual excitement. This touching is often called body rubbing and can occur either when the two parties are naked or fully clothed. Either way it is important that when the man reaches orgasm that he does not ejaculate near any of the women's body cavities. This would defeat the whole reason for turning to a touching relationship that does not include intercourse. Touching with love can be very gratifying.

Sensual massage, which is only slightly different from body rubbing, is another way to bring your partner to sexual gratification without having intercourse. Some couples who want to have some type of sexual relationship without intercourse use sex toys to bring each other pleasure. These include vibrators and dildos and other such things. These must be kept clean and washed after every time they are used with hot water and soap. This is to be certain not to spread any bacteria during their use. The regular washing is very important to remember if a couple chooses to use these kinds of things. There are many other methods of giving your partner sexual gratification without the need to have intercourse. These include watching pornographic movies together, role playing and sex games. All of these are still a sharing between two consenting adults who want to give pleasure to their partners but for whatever reasons choose not to have intercourse.

Some couples may find these ideas strange. They may wonder why two people who want to touch each other and gratify each other are willing to abstain from a relationship where intercourse is the goal after foreplay. The fact is that some couples do not wish to have intercourse before marriage but they still feel the pull of a sexual attraction. If they feel strongly enough about waiting yet still want to give their partner sexual pleasure than there is nothing wrong with looking to alternatives. If there is no intercourse there is no unplanned pregnancy.
