Sex doesn’t have to be penetrative, and you can have a great sex life without it! Many people think of traditional penis-in-vagina-or-anus sex when you say “sex.” One great way to keep your intimate life exciting and fantastic is to please your partner with oral sex and your hands! Try starting with an erotic massage using lotions or lube. Flavored or stimulating lubes are a great way to make oral sex even more delicious! Even if you can’t get hard, dry humping or grinding with a partner can be a sexy way to simulate sex and give you both incredible sensations. 

How Can Prostate and Perineum Play Help with ED?

What Are the Best Sex Toys for Penetrative Sex with ED?

Sex toys are a great way to have penetrative sex with a partner without an erection. While some toys don’t allow for the operator of the toy to have feeling during play, it can be fun for the simple fact that your partner is being satisfied, and the mental stimulation you get from penetrating your lover can be incredibly arousing. 

What is the Difference Between a Hollow Strap-On and a Penis Extender?

A great tool to use to penetrate without an erection is to use a hollow strap-on or a penis extender! A hollow strap-on typically doesn’t allow for the person wearing it to have feeling in the penis but they’re a perfect choice if you can’t get an erection at all and still want to penetrate your lover. A penis extender is usually softer than a hollow strap-on, allowing the wearer to still have sensation while penetrating. They can be used with an erect or flaccid penis.
