"Soaking" is a sexual practice that has been associated with some members of the Mormon denomination. It is a purported loophole to the Mormon denominations sexual code of conduct called the law of chastity, which states that all sex outside of a heterosexual marriage is a sin, and further bars masturbation for LDS adherents). According to Mormon TikTok, "soaking" is basically penetrative sex without the movement and hip thrusting. Heres how it works: a couple, the guy inserts his penis into the vagina and just lies there. He does not move, letting his penis "soak". The practice has been used as a plot point in sitcoms in the early 2020s, such as the television series Alpha House, Get Shorty, and Jury Duty. It was also referenced in the 2018 book "Up Up, Down Down," and in at least one short film of Mormon pornography).

While it purportedly circumvents LDS restrictions, top leaders have stated that "it is wrong to touch the private parts of another person’s body even if clothed" outside of a monogamous heterosexual marriage). News sources do not report it being a common practice, and some Mormons have said that soaking is an urban legend and not an actual practice by members of the LDS church. Others report knowing LDS adherents who had soaked).

It is important to note that "soaking" is not condoned in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (AKA Mormons) and is simply horny teenagers (or young adults) attempting to trick themselves into believing theyre not breaking any rules.
