noun

Etymology: Inherited from Middle English soukynge. By surface analysis, soak + -ing. First attested in c. 1440 in the Promptorium parvulorum.

  1. Immersion in water; a drenching or dunking.

    “"We came on a wild-goose chase", grumbled one, as he stirred the fire. "Got nothing but a soaking for our pains".”

  2. The practice of inserting a penis into a vagina and remaining stationary, without thrusting, supposedly used by some conservative Christians in lieu of traditional sexual intercourse.

    “That's probably why everyone is already having anal sex in ninth grade. I mean, let's face it, even the Mormons are soaking.”

    “Mormonism is a culture very much predicated on puritanical commitments[…]the Amazon series Alpha House[…]made much of Mormon soaking, an alternative sex practice engaged in by two LDS characters on the show. Soaking basically allows for penis-vagina penetration but absolutely no friction. Insertion is OK; pumping will send you to hell.”
