JAKARTA - Foreplay, or often referred to as 'outercourse', is all forms of sexual activity that occur before sexual intercourse. It can be said to be a warm-up before the main event, although foreplay does not necessarily have to lead to sexual intercourse. Foreplay includes various activities such as kissing, hugging, touching, sending sensual messages, or simply speaking in a tantalizing tone.
However, foreplay is not always the same for everyone. The way a person builds an mood for making love can be different. Not all men or women have the same preference. For some people, activities that are often considered as part of foreplay can actually be the main activity in sexual intercourse. Foreplay is an important aspect in achieving orgasm.
Apart from foreplay, there is also the term afterplay, which is intimate activity that occurs after sexual intercourse. Afterplay can involve hugging, holding hands, or just talking with love. In this phase, a person can also stimulate himself if he still feels excited.
Foreplay can help couples get closer by releasing hormones that reduce stress and increase emotional attachment. Foreplay can bring positive changes in sexual life, especially long marriages.
