            At my local Christian college, the rule is that when people of the opposite sex are in a dorm room together, the door has to remain open, and at least one person has to have one foot on the floor at all times. Those are the actual rules…intended to prevent sex.

            This led to a lot of sex where the door was technically open and at least one person’s foot was technically on the floor.

            …this all sounds like fetish rocket fuel. I can imagine a huge scandal where a sex-worker dishes the dirt on a pastor’s fondnes for a certain weird sexual position. His old classmates all read this and go: “But- but that’s not sex! Is it?”

        CSB: I remember being at a party once in the wee hours, being pretty drunk and playing on a Playstation. The people in the next room basically let me know they were shutting the door because things were happening in there, and I shrugged and said, “Sure.” A freshman friend of ours wandered in, found me playing, and asked where everyone else was. I distractedly pointed to the door to the other room.

        I have never seen eyes so big on someone when she came back and said, “They’re all having SEX in there!” I had to pause the game and apologize for not being more clear.

      Rape culture is ingrained in religious loopholes.
      See what was allowed to avoid having too much kids but still avoid men not be sexually satisfied by the medieval churches.
      See how priests had a reputation for fornication and rape from early in the civilizations circus.
      At this point it’s not loopholes anymore but the very foundation of religion as a system of inconsistencies based on getting caught

        That undermines misogyny as a secular concept as well. Also, misses that Christianity only came to power because it was initially supported by women due to its stance against infanticide, femicide, and honor killings. Too bad Roman men kept trying to make loopholes.

          Not talking about christianity alone, sadly.
          I can get your point about misginy, but I have a tendency to consider all faith-based systems as religions, for example french revolutionary “supreme being cult”, soviet personality cult, or ancient greek beliefs, for examples, in the men being the seed of the personality of kids, or howSocrate was judged also for having brought foreign gods.

            That’s actually the punch line of a blonde joke —
            “Why did the blonde’s belly button hurt after sex?”
            “Because her boyfriend was blonde too.”

                  I imagine the sensation from having something (attempted to be) pushed into there would typically fast override any ticklish sensations.

                  And that’s not even factoring in my Cursed™ knowledge–though it doesn’t exactly pertain to navels…

                  You have a bellybutton. You are aware what bellybuttons feel like.

                  I can’t imagine having a penis bumped into anything is particularly tickle-inducing, but especially not bellybuttons.

                  I’ve said bellybuttons so much in this reply that the word has ceased to mean anything to me.

        Hell, I’m in essentially the same place here. Been rolling through various top of the slash roles for two decades and there’s always a new term to learn. That said, this is more like a new term on an old idea which I’m only aware of because my corner of SW Ohio is fairly ripe with people religiously similar to Liz, Joyce and Becky and I’ve had to know many for various reasons dating back to high school.

      Honestly, considering how she called Liz a ‘fraud’ just a few hours ago (a few months from our perspective), and how she’s angry at Joe… I think she’s got a VERY good handle on Liz in that regard. She’s just worried that Joe (who she doesn’t know nearly as well as she knows her sister, and most of her impressions of him were pretty negative) might be the kind of sleaze to exploit Liz’s naivete and desire to be seen a Cool Secular Adult.

      Like, we talk a lot here about how Joe’s standards for being an ‘Ethical Horndog’ really should be a lot higher but I think Sarah’s brain might be going through this scenario – https://www.dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-12/01-sister-christian/sorry-5/
      But with a much Worse version of Joe.

    These kinds of loopholes always make me chuckle. For people who so fervently believe in God they are really looking down on him. Like, they believe that just because they are obeying the Letter of the law they won’t get in trouble while forgetting about the Spirit of the Law. Do they really think that God wouldn’t know what they are doing?

    Sarah is so cute in that last panel.

    And this really does explain why Sarah is so protective of Joyce. She’s basically just Liz and invoking all those unconscious feelings about being a protective older sibling. However, they’re not undermined by the anger over past issues between them.

    Joyce is McAwesome’s Liz.

    Soaking is the most ridiculous way to pretend you’re not having sex. Ever.
    My dear fellow humans, if you want sex this much, maybe reconsider whether following a christian rule that forbids it is actually in your best interest 😉
    It surely wasn’t in my best interest. If it makes you happy to wait until marriage, that is perfectly valid. But if you choose to do sexual things, there’s nothing to be gained in technicalities like this. It’s healthy and absolutely fine to have sex, to want sex, to talk about sex, as long as you and your partner(s) are consenting adults and everyone involved is having fun and respected.
    If there were a god i could still believe in, they would be one that looks down at me from whatever celestial abode they live in, and they’d be happy to see that i was living my best life.
