“"We came on a wild-goose chase", grumbled one, as he stirred the fire. "Got nothing but a soaking for our pains".”

“That's probably why everyone is already having anal sex in ninth grade. I mean, let's face it, even the Mormons are soaking.”

“Mormonism is a culture very much predicated on puritanical commitments[…]the Amazon series Alpha House[…]made much of Mormon soaking, an alternative sex practice engaged in by two LDS characters on the show. Soaking basically allows for penis-vagina penetration but absolutely no friction. Insertion is OK; pumping will send you to hell.”

“This all-or-nothing attitude implies that penetration equal sex. (Although throngs of folks raised in abstinence-based religions might [take this view]. My favorite is the Mormon concept of "soaking," which means a man sticks his penis in a vagina but doesn't move it around, therefore it somehow doesn't count as sex. Gimme a break.)”
