Mormon teens on TikTok are filming themselves 'jump-humping,' a tactic used to avoid thrusting during penetrative sex

• Mormon TikTokers are sharing tactics used to get around chastity rules called 'jump-humping' and 'soaking.'
• Soaking involves one person inserting their penis into another person's vagina and staying completely still.
• Then, a third person jumps on the bed to create motion that simulates a thrusting effect.

Videos explaining Mormon-specific sex acts like "jump-humping" and "soaking" are trending on TikTok, revealing the loopholes young members of the religion use to get around their church's teachings.

The Church of Latter-day Saints has a strict code of chastity for its followers, meaning sex is off the table until marriage, including masturbation. No exceptions.

TikTok user @exmolex explains even hugging and and kissing for long periods of time are generally frowned upon under this code of chastity, making it difficult for teenage and young adult Mormons to express sexual desires.

"Sometimes it gets to a point where they just can't help themselves, so soaking is a thing that happens," @exmolex told her 190,000 followers on TikTok.

Soaking is a sex act that involves a person putting their penis in another person's vagina and staying completely still. User @exmolex said the logic is that because there is "no thrusting" it doesn't "count as sex."

In a similar vein, jump-humping is another tactic some young Mormons use to evade the chastity code. Jump-humping is when a third person jumps on the bed while two other people "soak" to create motion, without the two having intercourse that involves thrusting.

"Did you know if someone else jumps on the bed, the movement doesn't count?" ex-Mormon and TikTok user @funeralpotatoslut jokingly captioned their video demonstrating how jump-humping works.

Jump-humping and soaking are framed as loopholes to avoid penetrative sex, but they can result in the same consequences if proper protection is not used, like pregnancy and STIs.
