That was presented as a thing people do (to technically not be having sex) on Alpha House. Called "soaking".

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The raciest thing I was reading in 4th grade was probably Gone With The Wind, but I was definitely seeking out the naughty bits of Piers Anthony and Heinlein books by the time I was in middle school. In retrospect, absolutely terrible source material for learning anything about actual sexual relationships between human adults, but, well, puberty.
I just want to go back in time and erase Piers Anthony from my brain. VC ANdrews and CLan of the Cave Bear are far superior, Piers Anthony just makes me feel icky now.
In more oversharing, I discovered masturbation by accident one night. Then I was mortified that I had sinned, because at one point I had tried to read the whole bible so I was familiar with Onan and God smiting him because Onan committed Onanism.
Onan's sin wasn't masturbation, or even spilling his seed, so young tommyrot didn't need to worry! I remember this argument from Bible class in HS.
Yeah, I was told that later. So now I feel free to wank away!
"Damn, that ass!" (The last can be favorable commentary about your own ass, or as a means of drawing your attention to another fine, fine ass. Either way it's a win.)
Another point where commas are crucial! "Damn that ass" without a comma would say to me you are wishing hellfire on a jackass...
Also in the bible iirc.
Although maybe that was just a talking donkey who was not damned. There was a cursed fig tree, I'm pretty sure.
Didn't Balaam's Ass run into some trouble?
I read Judy Blume's Forever when I was in 4th grade, with Mom's full knowledge. The older girls in the class (it was mixed 4th/5th/6th grade) had been taunting me that I was "too little" to read such things. Little did they know I had been reading racy and questionable sci-fi and horror for a few years. And Flowers in the Attic, of course.
A lot of stuff in adult books went right over my head at that age, because I had no frame of reference. I remember re-reading some romantic mysteries many years later and being boggled at what I'd completely glossed over as a kid.
Same here. I understood it in an academic sort of way, but didn't have any real idea what I was reading. And I'm a big hypocrite, because I would be alarmed and scandalized if I knew Tickybox was reading the same sort of stuff now.
