- Mormon TikTokers share tactics used to circumvent rules of chastity known as « jump humping » and « soaking ».
- When soaking, one person inserts their penis into another person’s vagina while remaining completely still.
- Then a third person jumps on the bed to create a movement that simulates a bump effect.
TikTok is trending videos explaining Mormon-specific sex acts like « jump-humping » and « soaking », exposing the loopholes young members of the religion use to circumvent their church’s teachings.
The Church of Latter-day Saints has a strict code of chastity for its followers, which means that sex is off the table until marriage, including masturbation. No exceptions.
TikTok user @exmolex explains that even long hugs and kissing are generally frowned upon under this chastity code, making it difficult for teenage Mormons and young adults to express sexual desires.
« Sometimes it gets to a point where they just can’t help it, so soaking is one thing that happens, » @exmolex told her 190,000 followers on TikTok.
Soaking is a sexual act in which one person inserts their penis into another person’s vagina while remaining completely still. User @exmolex said the logic is that it doesn’t count as sex because there is « no poking ».
Similarly, jump-humping is another tactic some young Mormons use to circumvent the code of chastity. Jump-humping is when a third person jumps on the bed while two other people « soak » to create movement without the two of them having intercourse, which involves pushing.
« Did you know that movement doesn’t count when someone else jumps on the bed? » Former Mormon and TikTok user @funeralpotatoslut jokingly subtitled her video showing how jump humping works.
Jump-humping and soaking are framed as loopholes to avoid penetrative sex, but they can have the same consequences if proper protection is not used, such as pregnancy and STIs.
