    When I was in middle school and first learned about gay men I thought one penis would have to open up somehow to accept the other penis as what I now know would be called sounding. Also knowing what I know now that would be pretty extreme even for sounding but I was a preteen fundie and had gotten all my sex ed from an anatomy and physiology book in the family library with 0 direction from any adult so in the absence of any better ideas that seemed like the most likely way that would work out. Anyway this is a great example of why puritans wind up so kinky; you have no idea what normal sex looks like so you just have to imagine it and sometimes the imagination comes up with some really weird shit and before you know it you’re having preteen wet dreams about stuff the human body doesn’t even do.

      I was like 9 before they told me procreation didn’t involve a woman’s belly button.

        Docking is foreskin play, inserting something into the urethra would be a type of sounding.

        But if you can sound with an entire human cock, you’re doing something pretty extreme shit

          I’m deeply enjoying this polite and intellectual discourse re: is this physically impossible act I imagined at 14 years old docking or sounding. Please continue this and all your other weird sexual internet discourse with the same level of polite fervor. :)

            Lmao. I’m not an expert on either docking or sounding, so if one comes along I’ll defer. Lol. But also, I doubt you’re the only kid who thought that. When I was much, much younger than 14 and learned about gay folk (before realizing I myself was gay folk) I didn’t understand the issue, because I didn’t realize sex played into it. I just thought a relationship/marriage was two people raising kids and makings dinner and shit. Lol. Didn’t understand why you’d go to hell for that being two men or whatever.

              Kids understand things on a very basic level, which sometimes allows them to see through the societal bullshit that complicates life. Sure you were wrong about sex, but overall you were right.

                Talk to people in their mid-50s and a lot of happy marriages have a fairly minimal sexual component.
