How to save sex without actually having it?
Hey! You’ve made it halfway through the week, and that deserves a serious celebration. Inside this newsletter, you’ll find a sprinkle of wisdom, a pinch of humor, and a dash of magic.
But before we start, here’s a lil fun task for you:
📌 Pick one ridiculous word (like "bananapocalypse" or "snazztastic") and try to slip it into as many conversations as you can today without explaining it 😝
Now, let’s get started…
Have you heard of soaking?
It might sound like something you do in a bubble bath, but if you've been on TikTok, you might have seen it used in a totally different way. So, what exactly is soaking?
It’s essentially a type of penetrative sex where, instead of moving, one person inserts their penis into someone else's vagina and stays still. Think of it like playing freeze tag - except, you know, not with clothes on. The idea behind soaking is that it avoids the typical “full-blown” sex because there's no thrusting or movement involved. Some people even take it a step further by having a third person, known as a “jump-humper,” jump on the bed to create movement, but technically, no thrusting is happening.
But soaking isn’t without its risks, either. It carries the same risks as any other type of penetrative sex - things like STI transmission and the possibility of unwanted pregnancy. Plus, if you’re doing it for religious or cultural reasons, there’s a chance it could bring up feelings of shame or confusion about your sexuality, which can impact your mental health.
BTW, get checked twice if you’re diagnosed with panic attacks
I’ve got a story that might hit home for some of you. So, last October, 27-year-old Jessie Mae Lambert started having these scary episodes that felt like panic attacks - up to five a day. But something didn’t sit right with her. After seeing doctors, they told her it was just panic attacks, but her gut told her there was more to it.
One day, while in the car with her parents, her mom had a hunch it wasn’t panic attacks at all - it looked like seizures. Jessie spent months fighting to get seen by a neurologist, and finally, she was diagnosed with epilepsy. But that wasn’t the end. After some more tests, she found out she had a Grade 2 astrocytoma brain tumor. She chose risky surgery to remove part of it, and thankfully, it was a success, but the tumor is incurable, so she’ll have to get regular scans for life.
Remember the woman who ate a cat?
So, here's a crazy story. Allexis T. Ferrell, a 27-year-old woman from Canton, Ohio, just got a year in prison for killing and attempting to eat a cat. Yep, you heard that right. She pleaded guilty to animal cruelty after an incident back in August where police found her with blood on her hands and feet and cat fur on her lips.
What makes this even wilder is that her arrest got caught up in a false claim about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. Donald Trump and JD Vance had made that claim, but here's the thing: Ferrell's from Canton, not Springfield, and she's a U.S. citizen. So, yeah, the whole thing got blown way out of proportion.
The most BIZARRE story of the day
So, here's a wild story that's been making headlines - there are underground gay sex parties happening in Mexico City's subway system. Yep, you heard that right. The last car, or último vagón, has been the spot for public male-male sex since 2000. It's not hidden; it's just... well, happening in plain sight.
The crazy part? People, including other passengers, often just ignore it. Historians say it's been a thing since the subway opened in 1969, but in recent years, it's been almost constant. It's cheap - just 5 pesos (about 25 cents) - so it’s a go-to for those who can't afford clubs or bars.
While some LGBTQ+ people see it as a safe space, others, like a mariachi singer, find it "shameful" and "without dignity." The city's been pretty chill about it until recently, with signs popping up now saying "no sex on the trains." Looks like the party might be winding down, but for now, it's still going strong.
So, that’s it for today. If you found this edition interesting and entertaining, please drop a like and follow us for more!
