People have been left disgusted after realizing what snowballing is.
From rainbow kiss to Alabama hot pocket, many bedroom trends have left the internet horrified and speechless.
Still, few are quite as eyebrow-raising as snowballing – an NSFW bedroom trend you may not have heard of.
After learning of the s**ual act, many people have taken to social media and shared their distaste.
One person says: “Gross. Not interested. There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell my significant other would be keen either.”
Another adds: “I wouldn’t try it. I don’t like to have s**en in my mouth anyway.”
“I would not do it,” comments a third.
Yet others find the s**ual act not so disgusting and are actually praising it online.
“It’s SO HOT! I have done it once or twice,” enthuses a fan. “The idea of what you are doing is hotter than the physical act of it since it can get awkward and messy, but yeah, still s**y.”
A second agrees, declaring: “Love love love it!”
So, what actually is snowballing?
Snowballing refers to the intimate act of exchanging s**en from one person’s mouth to another.
Just like how a snowball accumulates snow as it rolls, the idea here is that the mixture of s**men and saliva grows with each exchange.
The concept is sometimes confused with ‘c** swapping,’ which is a broader term used for sharing a mixture of s**men and saliva, regardless of who originally e***ulated.
Instead, snowballing begins with the person who e***ulated into the partner’s mouth.
Snowballing may seem like a uniquely human act, however, there are instances of similar behavior in certain animals.
For example, the male cichlid fish transfers s**men into a female’s mouth to fertilize eggs. However, this act is driven by the goal of reproduction rather than human snowballing, which carries its distinct connotations.
If you are considering pursuing snowballing, s**ologist E. Michelle Thomas has offered some practical advice.
The expert tells Cosmopolitan that it’s crucial to prioritize safety and consent and ensure all parties undergo STI testing to ensure a healthy environment.
Introducing the topic can be eased through games like Truth or Dare, which offers a light-hearted way to explore such desires.
Once consent is established, Thomas explains that certain steps can enhance the experience.
It’s important to stay hydrated and to avoid smoking or alcohol, which can affect the taste of the mixture.
Starting with a b***job and having the partner finish in the mouth is a gentle introduction.
Progressing from an open-mouthed kiss to actual swapping allows for gradual exploration.
Ultimately, snowballing is an intimate act that requires consent and open communication.
