That's really confusing for me since in German we have a seperated word for engaging in physical intimacy/extreme horniness that excludes sex. The closest to that in English would be to make out with someone.

Oh. Yeah. Forgot about that. I looked up "rummachen" and there wasn't a good translation

petting is sexual intercourse without penetration but not without having an orgasm though. so 'rummachen' is definitly different.

I actually didn't knew that, but at least its wayyy closer than "making out"

Yes. The LGBT+ community sometimes uses the word outercourse (as opposed to intercourse ) also play is a supercategory.
