Every day in this world is filled with an almost relentless torrent of bullshit that seems specifically designed to drag you down with it. This makes finding the small joys in life all the more necessary. I’m not saying anything world shattering here. But sometimes your world can still be shattered by the smallest thing.
For today, I learned about “soaking.”
I’m not going to beat around this bush, I’m merely going to just sit in it. Soaking is when one plops their penis into another’s vagina and then do... shit all. Just stare into each other’s eyes and don’t move? It feels like when a monster shows up in a horror movie, a character puts their hand on someone else's mouth, and whispers “Don’t move.” Even that description sounds hotter than what this is. This is getting stuck on the buffering screen before actual sex.
What I previously thought soaking was
I brought this up in a group chat and a friend mentioned how this is another form of all the mormons in high school doing “butt stuff.” I don’t want to cast ass-persions on an entire group of people like he, but there’s certainly a track record of the most devout kids always fighting against their nature and coming up with ways to best upskirt the rules of their religion.
I literally just wanted to write that blog for that specific joke.
This is clearly a byproduct of the demonization of sex before marriage in certain religions, and the absolutley disdainful sex education everyone in this country gets. In being weird about sex, we have forced teens to have weird not sex, which I imagine muddles the waters of consent even more in a way that’s wholly unneccesary. As long as we continue to treat sex in hushed tones, there’s always going to be someone telling you to not move while a penis sits in a vagina.
Let that soak in.
