In human sexual behavior,
foreplay is a set of intimate acts between two or more people, meant to build up sexual arousal.
Foreplay is in preparation for sexual intercourse or another act meant to bring about sexual enjoyment and orgasm.
Simple and seemingly innocuous acts, such as whispering in someone's ear or stroking someone's arm, can constitute foreplay. Conscious intent is the determining factor for whether an act is foreplay or not. If there is no intent to stimulate sexual arousal and move towards more sexual acts, a person's behavior will often be classified as flirting or being "touchy-feely".
Foreplay can be non-physical. Examples include sexual compliments and conversations about sexual acts and desires. However,
foreplay is typically physical. Touching, kissing, biting, massaging, or scratching any area of the body can all qualify as
foreplay. Specific examples include:
- deep tongue kissing (also known as French kissing)
- touching and massaging erogenous zones over clothing (also known as groping or petting)
- touching and massaging erogenous zones under clothing (also known as heavy-petting)
- rubbing together of partners' erogenous zones over clothing (also known as dry-humping and grinding).
- undressing one's self or one's partner (also known as stripping)
These various examples are often combined; a session of such acts is sometimes called "petting" or "making out".
Direct manipulation of naked erogenous zones is almost always considered
foreplay. In women, this includes stimulation of the clitoris and labia lips. In men, this includes stimulation of the penis and testicles. For both genders, this includes stimulation of nipples or anus. Stimulation can be achieved using a mouth, hands, sex toys (such as dildos or vibrators), or common household objects (such as feathers or ice cubes).
Direct manipulation of naked erogenous zones is not considered foreplay when it is not preparatory for further sexual acts. Again, intent is the pivotal question. For example, mutual masturbation and oral sex are often considered sexual acts with no expectation of further sexual congress.
Sexual role playing, fetish activities, and BDSM can also be considered
foreplay, though they more commonly accompany sex rather than preceding it.
Foreplay and foreplay techniques can vary dramatically based on age, religion, and cultural norms.
