What is soaking byu?

Soaking at BYU refers to the practice of engaging in sexual activity, specifically intercourse, without penetration, while fully clothed. It's a controversial and often secretive activity primarily found among students at Brigham Young University (BYU), though its prevalence is debated.

The primary motivation often cited is a desire to circumvent BYU's strict honor code, which prohibits premarital sex. Soakers believe that since penetration does not occur, they are technically not violating the rules.

However, BYU has strongly condemned soaking and variations thereof, stating that they violate the spirit and intent of the honor code. Students caught participating can face disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion.

There are several variations and terms associated with soaking, including:

  • Jump Soaking: Involves a friend bouncing on the bed to provide momentum during soaking.
  • Docking: Refers to a slightly more intimate variation of soaking.

The entire phenomenon has received considerable media attention and criticism, both within and outside of the BYU community.
