oral traditions.

Comment on Good morning.
Death_Equity@lemmy.world 6 days agoIf we are talking about devoted Amish, they literally only have sex for the purpose of procreation, sometimes through a sheet in some cases. Sex for recreation, including oral or anal, are verboten under the Amish Ordnung oral traditions.
In practice, there is sexual “deviancey” and sex had with some degree of knowledge that doing so is not strictly for procreation. Due to cultural aspects, there is shame brought in by such things that they have to get right with God about. Rumspringa, think last repreve before devoting to the Amish life, is usually when young Amish sow some wild oats with some abandon with the English(outsiders) if they so choose.
If you are a single man going through Amish country and see a mailbox with a bag on it, it is an invitation to donate your genetics to the community. Don’t expect hot and steamy throws of passion, you are fucking through a sheet while the elders preside over the breeding session in the same room.

To be fair, maybe fucking through a sheet IS the advanced sexual practice of the future and we’re missing out. I, for one, have never tried it. I tend to think I’m above it, because normal to me is the horrifying display of unfortunate nude bodies and their fluids clumsily flailing about until she gets upset for one reason or another. Maybe with a sheet, it’d be easier to picture something nice? Tell me more about the elders presiding over my breeding session?
Joking aside, I’m legitimately fascinated now. I know there was a reality show, but are there any more bookish sources about Amish sexual practices, or do you know more? I suddenly have questions.

There was a book written a while ago that talked a lot about the breeding habits and sexuality of the Amish, I haven’t read it so I don’t know if they cover the rare practice of semen donor solicitation from the pre-industrial age.

It is a thing, but uncommon.
For whatever reason they may find it to get some outside genetics to avoid genetic stagnation issues, infertility, or whatever, so they cover the mailbox as an invitation for outside help.
It is highly transactional and utilitarian. The potential father may be given simple gifts for the assistance, but it usually is a handshake affair and the gifts are more a hospitality thing.
Don’t go driving through Amish lands hunting some preindustrial strange, you are unlikely to find it… But you could get lucky.

Can I put a bag on their mailboxes to volunteer? How do you know this? Are you aware of this having happened? Do the elders literally just stand there with their arms crossed and go, “Hmm, yes, quite.” What happens if I have a really violently explosive orgasm, like just Tarzan screaming and collapsing into a heap of putty on top of the blanket woman. I assume that would be frowned upon? Or can I enjoy the one time, since it’s procreative?

I have heard it from a credible source who relayed a first hand experience going through with it. I have no reason to question either telling, as it was more of an embarrassing story and it is a practice that is known to occur near Amish areas from time to time.
You obviously couldn’t volunteer someone, you aren’t a king entitled to prima nocta.
I have no idea how your one-sided throws of passion would be recieved by the elders, as the account I heard was rather embarrassing and barely effective in immediate results. My understanding is the elders are there to prevent sexual assault or improper conduct, probably somewhere between a cucking and a urinalysis observer’s dutiful gaze.

This is exactly what men want, and we shouldn’t be allowed to have it, because it’s horrible and it makes you feel sick!
