It’s all fun and games until the frosty waves tickle the pickle.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Pure unadulterated poetry right here.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Hey man, whatever rocks your boat, tickles your pickle, or causes you to violently orgasm. I ain't judgin'

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago

Please sir, not in my pool.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 23 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] AllOutOfBubbleGum@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

[–] anguo@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

Upper side of the hips for me.

Afraid to get balls into the water

No balls

Problem solved

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

The trick is to get up to mid thigh, then say fuckit and just dive in, inching in sucks.

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 5 days ago

I love cold water, certainly when it's hot. I'll get in immediately.

[–] Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Why not a simple, gender-neutral "junk"? 😁

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] Trail@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

But, there are no women in the internet anyway.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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...

[–] Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Moakley, when his balls touch the water

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Well now you made it weird.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Le PDC for the french speaking world

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Yup that's it

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

But after the crotch comes the belly, then the chest. Always the next step, Dalinar

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

The most important step is always the next one.

[–] Lionel@endlesstalk.org 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

When we go swimming, aren’t we all mixing ball water?

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I hate to break to you that all water was probably, at some point, ball water.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nah. Water is created and destroyed by biological processes all day, every day.

SOURCE: Photosynthesis for one. 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Yes but those molecules have likely been ball adjacent, or even the balls themselves at some point! It's the circle of balls.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

There's a time limit if your shorts are wicking the water.

[–] shads@lemy.lol 2 points 6 days ago

I miss those days, now it's the lower-back on step 4 that really scares me. Never get old.

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Well that depends entirely on just how difficult that first step actually was, and how long your legs are.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 6 days ago

Just jump right in so it hits you right in the chest and makes your heart do that flitter thing as you adjust.
