The Glorious Benefits of Boobstroking
And no, it’s not what you’re thinking
Unfortunately, for those that clicked with a dirty mind, this is not at all a sexual post.
Instead it’s about swimming.
Specifically about breaststroke. The gayest of the strokes.
But before going any further, just a word on the word gay.
I run with the MedGold definition. I can’t remember if it was in a tweet or in an article so I’m just going to paraphrase. His way of putting it is much better. Go find it when you’re finished here.
Essentially it goes something like this:
Not all homosexuals are gay. And conversely, plenty of heterosexuals are gay.
I think Med estimates that at least 70% of heterosexual men are in fact gay.
Ok, with that cleared up, back to swimming.
There are four main strokes in swimming. Freestyle, backstroke, butterfly (the hardest) and breaststroke.
And breaststroke is obviously the gayest.
I’ve always thought of myself as a freestyle guy. But recently, I’m really coming around to how good breaststroke is. I was doing it this morning and that’s when the name boobstroke came to me. I giggled as I sucked in air mid stroke.
So, what is so good about boobstroking?
It’s just a really nice way to glide through the water.
It’s a fun style to try and get better at. You get to mix both power and grace in a super satisfying way.
It works the entire body with each stroke being a combination movement. Legs, arms, back and torso are all involved.
It’s a great antidote to sitting at a desk in front of a computer. Not just for a break, but as a way to get all the built up tightness out of the body.
It’s kind of meditative and nice to do by yourself.
It can be done in the Med in the sun.
Big recommend to do some boobstroking.
