Don't forget jump humping!

"When a friend jumps on the bed to create a sex-like movement while another couple are engaging in soaking."

Religon is a hell of a drug

[–] grue@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That is not only both funny and sad, it's also legitimately kinkier than a lot of non-religious people's sex lives.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

yup. hell no magic underwear either

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (4 children)

This is one of those things that I feel like someone made up as a joke and it got out of hand.

Now that it exists though, I have no doubt people will have read about it and tried it

Articles have stated that soaking does not prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infection and may still result in pregnancy.[3]

…All the risk without the fun… Like sticking an alcohol drenched tampon in your booty hole.

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 5 points 5 days ago

From your point of view it is 'all the risk', but you must understand that the biggest most important risk is what they are trying to avoid: going to hell. For people who believe in that kind of thing, it's the only risk of any real significance.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

You've summarized religion in one phrase.

Is

Is it weird that I find this gross compared to actual sex?

Like sex is awesome, this is

I can't think of a way to describe it other than weird as fuck

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

After our first child, when my ex was finally given the all clear for sexual activity from her obgyn, she was so pent up from going a long time without plus all the crazy hormones still raging about in her body when we finally got to it, she started orgasming immediately as i went inside and told me not to move or it would be too much for her. We just laid there "soaking" while she orgasmed over and over. She eventually calmed down after several minutes and I was able to do my business like normal.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This dude's dick's sole presence drives women crazy. Impressive

People praise the female reproductive system as miraculous because it can make a baby in only 9 months. Like that's neat and all, but my reproductive system can make a baby in approximately 13 seconds, so I don't see what all the fuss is about.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

On a serious note, female reproductive system is extremely fucked and overcomplicated and a great example of how evolution makes something that works, not something that is perfect.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 15 hours ago

something that works well enough, lots of times it just doesn't work and it's unpleasant for everyone involved

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 week ago

That's correct according to the "at conception" crowd! Why have silly words like "embryo" and "fetus" when you can just call it a "baby" or "person" and give it the same complete lack of medical and financial assistance as the born children and people in your red states?

Lots of animals unironically do this.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Hummingbirds!

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 71 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't call me an animal, but yes.

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's all right. Deep down, we are all animals.

I mean, it is unironically a good question though. There's no biological reason for why that can't happen, and in fact, it would be more efficient! You'd be less exposed to predators etc

The actual answer is, of course, that there are other reasons for why it's a longer activity. Such as, for example, it being about social bonding

[–] philpo@feddit.org 8 points 6 days ago

Actually there is afaik a biological reason: Take it with a grain of salt,though - It's a long time since I attended these lectures. The repeated insertion increases the need for lubrication(which increases sperm transport after ejaculations) and making sure the vaginal canal is opened fully.

Again, it's a long time ago I had that lecture and it might not be up-to-date,so someone please confirm this.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

so that means sex with neighbors should be acceptable? if true I have some great news for my ex!

[–] trungulox@lemm.ee 27 points 6 days ago (3 children)

The world would be a far far better place if we were all just horny, depraved, sluts

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Puritanical movements are historically a social response to widespread sexually transmitted illnesses

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Really? Which ones? Syphillis came from the colombian exchange, are puritans a response to that one?

It's an overly broad statement tbh as these things are always a confluence of social pressures but yes, there's a decent amount of scholarship specifically on that, public responses to the AIDs crisis both in the 80's and in areas still suffering from it, the rise and fall of classical Bacchanalian-type cults, etc.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Well except STDs. But you go have fun.

Hell yeah. Being a slut is great

Who is it? The impala? Thompson's gazelle? One of those that does exactly that, it takes like a fraction of a second

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I feel like you’re calling me names. 😔
