Do you know what floating is?

Its a type of Mormon Sex practice at BYU.

I learned about it today after watching Larry Wilmore comedy special Race Religion and Sex. You know the official Black corespondent on the Daily Show.

He held the special in Salt Lake City. It was a pretty good funny show

I think it was on showtime, but I watched it online.

because it would be preplanned then and a sin.

The panel and him spent about 5 mins talking about it and in the end they brought in a choir that sung a temptation song ...floating.

Pretty funny show catch it if you can and remember.

DON'T MOVE and then its not a sin.

Republicans have, um, led the way on innovative sEx pRActicEs such as Urinal Toe Tapping, and Diaper Sex with Hookers, so doubtless many personages are eager to learn about the new Floaty-Soaky RepubliCON sEx iNNovatioNs.

My excuse for Unknowing: I was sick that day and so miSSed the, um, sEx Ed program. Or was it that the Repubbies cut the budget for sEx Ed and there just wasn't any? fuNNY how time can flush memories down the scuPPer.

According to Red Devil (R): "Cayenne pepper is one of the best aphrodisiacs out there. Cayenne pepper is an herb that adds spice to your food and also to your sex life. Cayenne pepper is great for enhancing circulation which enhances libido..."

As explained by the panel on the show in SLC... you insert the penis into the vagina but don't move...... you don't move.... so no humping.

You do not use a rubber otherwise it would be pre planned and then a sin. The movement is a sin also so the way they get around the sin is by floating.

It's also something devout Hindu men do to their wives to prove that they're able to resist sex. They stick it in and then just lie there like dead fish.

And they call gays perverted.

No movement. Become the joining, more or less.

I used to do that with one girlfriend. We didn't call it anything at all. We just did it and liked it.

In the early '90s, a friend of mine had a sister who went to a Mormon college, and one particular year some of the boys hit the books and discovered (or claimed to discover) that nowhere in the scriptures was anal sex proscribed (the same lack of mention is also cited by some Mormon potsmokers I have known).

It did not take long for the results of this discovery to make themselves evident to the clinic, and immediately thereafter to the higher administration, and so the college had to create an awareness program to inform young Mormons that no, no matter what their sexuality is totally owned and controlled by the Church, especially the back door.

All that proves to me that an 18-year old will risk damnation itself to dip the wick.

But hey, so did Joseph Smith.

37. Is it a sin to do this using a hammock or something of the like?
Sun Aug 26, 2012, 07:24 PM
Aug 2012

If one person was supported by the hammock (or other device), then the wind/fan/AC/other force could do the moving for them. They would still be doing nothing on their own (humping), only experiencing the movement of nature. Any thoughts?
