Don't forget jump humping!

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hump+Jumping&page=2

"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 43 points 2 months 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.

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.

You've summarized religion in one phrase.

I hope this isn't knowledge from experience

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 2 months 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 2 months ago (2 children)

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

Fuck. I was so thrown by the weird preview picture that I didn't even register that there's an entire Wikipedia article for it.

[–] thessnake03@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The wikihow style sex illustrations are oddly common on wikipedia lmao.

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.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months 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?

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 18 points 2 months 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.

Lots of animals unironically do this.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 71 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't call me an animal, but yes.

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months 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

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months 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 28 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (2 children)

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

Comment contains content that some may find disturbing, click to revealIt can also prevent ineffective, outcast, or weaker specimens from mating. If a woman could be impregnated in very few seconds consistently then the number of teen or child pregnancies as well as pregnancies resulting from rape would all increase dramatically. Some similar evolutions occured in Wolves, the wolves genitals are stuck together after reproduction and if an outcast attempts to mate he will be trapped and ripped to shreds.

[–] philpo@feddit.org 8 points 2 months 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.

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

Don't feel bad, you come from a long line of men who got it done before buyer's remorse set in.

I mean... It could but you have to have pretty good control over the muscles in your vagina so the dick can do its thing.

That's basically how dogs work. 🤷🏻‍♂️
