Soft Swinging Amongst the Mormons

[Wifetheif]

I'm surprised no one has tackled this story idea yet. Soft swinging is a real thing among certain Mormons. Soft swinging is being intimate with someone else but stopping short of actual intercourse. There are many Mormon men and women who marry young, sometimes as young as sixteen, and have had zero dating experience. Often the only person they ever dated was their current spouse. Naturally, after a few years of marital futzing around (many of them know so little about sex and intimacy that their marriages are terribly unsatisfying) they and their friends expiment with soft swinging. In this way they can experience cuddling, kissing, and other forms of intimacy that most people have had long before they found the person they wanted to marry. This activity is an attempt to breathe fresh air into their stale, stiltifing relationships. These forays often include nudity, blow job, cunnilingus, and fingering, but tab and slot NEVER meet! Sometimes this activity brings couples closer together but more often it leads to divorce as the couples who experiment with soft swinging realize that they were completely incompatible in the first place. It seems to me that this idea could be used in several categories, Loving Wives, Erotic Couplings, Novels and Novellas and probably several others. It is amazing how kinky even the most vanilla person is.

Well, one of my stories has a scene that involves something close to soaking... but none of the characters are explicitly LDS-coded

I think I'd be interested in a story like this, but I would want it to come from someone who is either current (reformed/deconstructed) or formerly LDS. I think the magic would be in the subtle realities of the culture, both the positives and the negatives.

I've known some LDS members on different points of the cultural/religious spectrum, from strongly fundamentalist, to progressive/reformed LDS, to militantly ex-LDS athiests. It would be a fascinating world to explore from an erotica angle!

I did a lot of LDS back in the sixties, but not anymore, man. That shit will mess you up!

 

[Dollar_Bill]

I could see an intensifying relationship that needs more, almost cruelly more. As you say, no tab and slot but the faith loopholes are fully explored, with bagpiping included?

 

[Rob_Royale]

I can see this being an interesting idea but not knowing a great deal about any particular faith, I'd have to make up one. I'd like readers to enjoy the story without getting caught up in details.

I mean, that’s good for them and all but just because sex does not include PIV does not mean it is somehow not sex.

You must not have spent much time among horny religious college kids, they can be very creative in their interpretation of scripture

Oral sex, anal sex, etc are still sex.

I've been tempted to write a story about cheating mormon tradwives who want to get bred by someone other than the husband they married way too young.

But I don't know much about the culture tbh as I'm not from the USA. This is an interesting little insight into it. thanks

Did any of your kids have antlers?

That's not their opinion and that's what we want to explore here.

Are vaginal contractions allowed during soaking? So much to consider here.

Okay so an added fun layer is something called "jump humping" or "buddy bouncing," where the couple gets a friend to come and join them and bounce up and down on the bed, creating second-hand motion during the soaking session

I think this part is more of an LDS college kid joke/meme than something that actually happens regularly, but it's both very funny and could lead to some highly erotic scenes in the right hands

We'd call that the Mad Max scenario: two men enter(thunder dome or humping dome), one man falls off, another man enters.

I may have written something right in your wheelhouse of interest: THE MORE MOM. Give it a read.

Literotica will not accept stories about specific religions

Hehe... meaning cherry picking the stuff that they like, ignoring stuff they don't. The so called faithful do this all the time, not just horny kids!

Literotica will not accept stories about specific religions

That's not really true, as evidenced by Wendy's story shared just above you

And there are thousands of stories about naughty Catholic priests and nuns on here, quite a few stories about Muslim characters (the majority of them written by the infamous SamuelX), etc.

There's a content guideline that says, "Works that promote or focus heavily on politics or religion, or political or religious figures. Lit readers are bombarded with political disputes on other platforms and they prefer to avoid these types of divisive issues in their erotica."

But clearly that's open to interpretation by the the site admins. From what I can tell, the prohibition seems more about being excessively critical of a specific religion, trying to proselytize for a religion, or using a story as a venue for overt Islamophobia or something.

Yeah, I agree with this. If the particular faith is the context, but the humanity and sexuality of the characters is the focus, I really doubt that there would be an issue. There are potentially deep issues to explore without having a go at a particular faith. An example that springs to mind is the (harrowing) memoir 'Educated' by Tara Westover, which is grounded around the context of being born into a Mormon family but which really turns out to be about education, power and control, decency, and a host of other things that can happen in different lives. You're left with the impression that there are some fantastic people within the faith, some psychopathic bastards, and a whole range in between.

Yeah, those are rules they don't seem super strict about. As long as you don't get too critical about some set of beliefs, you're probably OK. I remember one story in particular where the main characters start to question certain religious teachings. Nothing really negative in the story about people who are believers, though.

Extremely interesting. I noticed a lot of looks while in SLC. Especially from a Mormon individual tour guide.

I'm 25K into a story based on this idea.

Believe it or not, the craziest story I've read on here, was about Jesus, (yea, that Jesus) being a randy, horny dude. A young lady wrote about her sexual experiences with the savior. I expected to hate it, but it was very well done. Don't expect me to find it again. She wrote it when she was only 18.
