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.[1][2]

It is known from Ancient Greece,[3] and it is sometimes done because it spreads sexually transmitted diseases less than vaginal or anal sex.[4][5]
