Have you ever explored a practice that’s capable of offering intense sensations without penetration? Not so well known by the masses, the thigh job actually dates all the way back to ancient times, and remains a firm favourite for some due to its gentleness, simplicity and the intimacy it creates between partners. Accessible, inclusive and adaptable, the thigh job is redefining the way we experience pleasure with a partner, by focusing on contact, body heat and proximity.
Let’s find out what thigh jobs are really all about, why it’s gaining traction nowadays and some tips on trying it out in a comfortable, exciting way, with or without sex toys.
What is a Thigh Job?
A thigh job involves stimulating the penis by placing it between the partner's tightly closed thighs. Unlike dry humping, here the member is enveloped by the partner’s thighs, creating a tight, warm space that can be unbelievably stimulating.
This is a non-penetrative practice that tactfully reproduces the sensations of a more gentle form of penetration, where you’ll have total control over the level of pressure and intensity. Examples of thigh jobs can be seen in erotic accounts throughout antiquity, especially in ancient Greek culture, where it was often used as an alternative to vaginal and anal penetration. Even today, it attracts people with its sensual, progressive and uninhibited nature.
Why You Should Give Thigh Jobs a Go
Thigh jobs attract with their capacity to open up a new dimension to pleasure. Since it doesn’t involve penetration, this practice is a great alternative for people who suffer from intimate pains, couples wanting to try something new without going all out, or those who are looking for a practice that’s less STI prone.
Its enveloping nature, the warmth of the thighs and the possibility to play around with tension and rhythm give way to an extremely intimate experience. A lot of people highly appreciate this gradual, tactile dimension that invites us to slow things down and focus on each sensation. It’s also an elegant way to break routine and explore sexuality more creatively.
How to Incorporate Thigh Jobs into Your Relationship
The keys to a top-notch thigh job are communication and lubrication. After that, it’s simply a question of making a few little adjustments.
Find the perfect position
There are a few possibilities here:
- On your back with your legs squeezed together: this is the classic position. Your partner places themselves between your thighs and controls the movement.
- Partner lying behind: the thighs pressed together create a natural vice, perfect for a slower, more sensual rhythm.
- Sitting one on top of the other: perfect for eye contact and simultaneous stimulation.
Couples can try different positions to find out which one offers the best level of comfort and sensations.
Lube is your best friend
Water-based lube is an absolute must. It helps the penis slide easily, reduces friction and makes the experience much more pleasant. Don’t be afraid to apply it generously on the inner thighs and the penis.
Adjust pressure and rhythm
The pressure of the thighs can completely change the intensity of the experience. You can try: tightening them, moving slower, varying the angle… all of this will help you to personalise the experience to you and your partner’s liking.
Don’t forget about your partner’s pleasure
Caresses, kisses,

Accessories and Sex Toys to Pimp up Your Thigh Jobs
Thigh jobs are already quite intense, but if you really want to take things up a notch, then consider some of these options:
- The right type of lube: Opt for a water-based lube, as this is perfect for more sensitive areas of the body. Some have a thicker texture and are long-lasting, making them ideal for a bit of thigh on penis action.
- Open-ended cock sleeves or masturbators: slipped between the thighs, these toys will allow you to combine thigh pleasure with the added texture they provide. This will intensify sensations for the person with the penis.
- Cock rings: cock rings prolong pleasure, boost erections and intensify orgasms. This is a super simple way to increase stimulation without changing position.
- Vibrating sex toys: a bullet vibrator placed on the inner thighs, the pubic area or the perineum will add a new, particularly exciting aspect to play for both partners.
These accessories offer a multitude of variations, particularly appealing to couples who enjoy experimenting and enriching their practices.
A gentle, inclusive and highly sensual practice, thigh jobs prove that penetration is not necessary to share an intimate and intense moment. By focusing on contact, warmth and creativity, it allows you to vary pleasures, break out of routine and develop a new level of intimacy with your partner.
