"My best sex ever was mutual masturbation"
For Nicola*, it was a case of no penetration, no problem.

I’d known Andy* for ages; we met through friends and mostly hung out in a group, but over the past year we’d started spending more time together one-on-one. We flirted, teasing each other about being more than just friends, but we were both in relationships so knew it was forbidden. Nonetheless, we carried on seeing each other and the sexual tension grew.
When both our relationships came to an end, I texted him, inviting him for a walk. It was the first time we were able to be fully alone, both single. I had been finding it frustrating holding back, but finally we could connect freely.
