Outstroking is a sex act that involves slowly removing a penis or sex toy from the vagina or anus. Outstroking can be pleasurable because it stimulates sensitive tissue near the vaginal or anal opening. In a 2026 survey by OMGYES, 57% of respondents (all women) said they enjoyed this sensation.
Textured toys such as ridged dildos and anal beads are often designed to enhance these sensations during removal.
Origins of the Term
The term outstroking was popularized by the sex education site OMGYES as part of its effort to identify and name specific sexual techniques reported by women. OMGYES partnered with researchers to survey 20,000 of women about the sensations and techniques they found pleasurable.
