Hump and Grind. Bringing it to the next level
Dry Humping: A Walk Down Memory Lane
Most of us probably started our sexual exploration by humping or grinding without even thinking about it. It’s almost second nature it’s so natural for human to hump and grind. Toddlers will dry-hump pillows, stuffed animals, and even each other and that’s all a completely normal part of development and exploration. Most of the time it’s a natural instinct. Maybe they’re imitating something they saw. Either way, it’s important for early development. Humans need to explore those experiences to help shape their understanding of their own sexuality and bodies. Dry humping is also important to sexual maturation for teenagers. It’s a way to build a “sexual repertoire” in terms of moves and figuring what they enjoy and what they just don’t like.
So grinding products can offer some nostalgia and that alone may provide some comfort in a day and age that can feel inundated with uncertainty. It’s not uncommon for people to feel comforted by memories of their youth particularly when these memories have a positive outcome like an orgasm. While specific sex toys made for grinding are relatively new to the industry, people have been humping and grinding on top of their sex toys since sex toys existed. Magic wands and hands free vibrators have long been favored for bumping and grinding during sexy time, but saddles and grinding pads have helped folks explore brand new ways to experience external pleasure- one that can work for all bodies and genitals.
But What is Grinding?
Why Does It Feel So Good?
Maybe you’re someone who has a really sensitive clit who doesn’t want direct contact. Then grinding can be really great indirect stimulation. If you’re someone who can get overstimulated too quickly that’s not exactly pleasurable. Grinding can provides a pleasurable consistant pressure that can be really pleasurable without being overstimulating. The G-spot also lives right under and behind the pubic bone, so putting pressure on the pubic mound and the clit and vulva itself can stimulate the G-spot and provide a really pleasure and new sensation if you’ve never tried it.
Grinding will also feel good for people with penises, too. What do a hand job, oral sex, and penetrative intercourse have in common? They all involve rubbing and grinding. Especially if they haven’t been circumcised the rubbing motion of grinding can also move the foreskin up and down the penis in a way that can feel really good.
What Are Grinding Saddles Exactly?
Grinders, grinding toys, humping toys, saddles, and riders are just a few of the names that have been used to describe this new and up and coming style of sex toy. Products that live under this category are designed for humping, rubbing, and grinding against. These external, and often textured products can appeal to many different kinds of people and are praised for their accessible and gender-neutral design. Many grinding products also come with a remote that makes it easier for users to control their devices from close range or incorporate it into partner play.
Grinding toys are pretty versatile and can be used during partnered or solo play, as a warm up toy, or in combination with other types of sex toys. When you look at most grinding toys, you may notice that they use ergonomic curves, soft textures, and materials designed to let the body rock or bounce against its surface. These features help give the toy its shape and hold it in place as you “ride.”
But How Do I Use a Grinding Pad?
If you have a grinder that’s can be placed like a mat, just place it on whatever flat and sturdy surface works best for you. If you have a wearable panty vibrator, simply attach it to the inside of your underwear. Mat-style grinders will likely require you to get onto your knees in order to support your movements. If you pick this style, and you want to make it more comfortable you can place it on a positioning aid piece of sex furniture like the Inflatable Position Pillow or Ultra Position Master inflatable pillow with handles, that can help you keep the product in a more comfortable position between your legs. You can also add regular pillows for added support and cushion around and beneath your knees when using a grinding product.
