Intercrural sex

Ancient Greek painting of intercrural sex (a form of non-penetrative sex) between a winged god (Eros or Zephyrus) and a youth (perhaps Hyacinthus)

Intercrural sex is a form of non-penetrative sex where a person's penis is stimulated between the thighs of another person.

It is known from Ancient Greece, and it is sometimes done because it spreads sexually transmitted diseases less than vaginal or anal sex.
