It’s all fun and games until the frosty waves tickle the pickle.
Hey man, whatever rocks your boat, tickles your pickle, or causes you to violently orgasm. I ain’t judgin’
Well that depends entirely on just how difficult that first step actually was, and how long your legs are.
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.
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.
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…
The most important step is always the next one.
