It’s all fun and games until the frosty waves tickle the pickle.
Pure unadulterated poetry right here.
Hey man, whatever rocks your boat, tickles your pickle, or causes you to violently orgasm. I ain’t judgin’
Please sir, not in my pool.
For me it’s the upper body. I can go gradually to waist-deep but I get the cold shock when it gets to chest level.
I just rip the band-aid off and dunk myself. Better to get it over with quickly. Also, if I’m doing something like a dive or a flip, I find that my mind is too busy on the technique to really consider the cold shock. Plus, then I get to look smugly at the others that saw the sweet move I just pulled off.
Upper side of the hips for me.
Afraid to get balls into the water
No balls
Problem solved
My boxer had no balls, just the pussy. LOL, she would run out into the lake and freeze when it got within a centimeter of that poonanny. Ran right back out.
This is a lot to unpack.
Is it?
The trick is to get up to mid thigh, then say fuckit and just dive in, inching in sucks.
I just jump in. It’s like ripping a band-aid. Watching people lowering themselves slowly into cold water using the stairs seems like a total masochism to me.
I love cold water, certainly when it’s hot. I’ll get in immediately.
Moakley, when his balls touch the water
Well now you made it weird.
Le PDC for the french speaking world
After looking it up I got “le passage des couilles”. My French is rusty, but, “passage of the balls”?
Is it a pun or something? Either way, that’s amazing they have a whole phrase for it.
Yup that’s it
Why not a simple, gender-neutral “junk”? 😁
I think “balls” is funnier.
It’s also specifically more accurate for me, although I’ve learned since making this that people have a wide variety of experiences when it comes to which body part reacts worst to cold water. Belly, ribs, underboob, nipples, shoulders, everyone is different.
But, there are no women in the internet anyway.
There’s no way to really test to see if women experience the same level of shock when their junk hits the frost, as it’s subjective. I bet it’s still a bit of a quick jolt, though, at best as good as when my armpits hit the water.
That said, men literally have their junk go up in them when it’s cold enough, so…
Ha ha well ladies have a hole to be worried about. I assure you, the cold hitting my junk has me doing to inny-outy dance many times, but you’re right that its totally subjective.
But after the crotch comes the belly, then the chest. Always the next step, Dalinar
Not sure what the law has to say about steps into a pool. Nale have any advice on that? Maybe this is one you CAN just fight your way through.
The most important step is always the next one.
I miss those days, now it’s the lower-back on step 4 that really scares me. Never get old.
There’s a time limit if your shorts are wicking the water.
Well that depends entirely on just how difficult that first step actually was, and how long your legs are.
Just jump right in so it hits you right in the chest and makes your heart do that flitter thing as you adjust.
