What does Side mean?
A side is someone who enjoys sex but does not do anal penetration, either giving or receiving.
Also: sides
The term side was popularized to name a preference that had long gone unlabeled: people who love intimacy and sex but simply are not into anal. Sides enjoy oral, mutual touch, frottage, kissing, and everything else — just not penetration.
Being a side is a valid, common preference, not a phase or a problem to fix. Naming it helped a lot of people feel seen and made matching easier by setting expectations up front.
Sides pair well with other sides and with partners who are flexible about what a great encounter looks like. As always, talking about what each person enjoys makes for better connections.
