Sloppy seconds

Last updated

Sloppy seconds (or slops in Australian slang [1] ) is a slang phrase for when a man has sexual intercourse with a (female or male [2] ) partner shortly after that person has had intercourse with someone else, and is therefore wet or "sloppy". [3] [4] The phrase "buttered bun" is sometimes used to refer to said orifice. [5] [6] The practice is also referred to as a "wet deck". [7]

The term has since been stretched as a derogatory metaphor to demean someone having a relationship with a person who had previously been dating another individual within the peer group, [8] analogous to the way female virginity has historically been correlated with purity.

In November 2022, South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas was criticised after using the term in a press conference. He apologised, and said he was not aware that it was a sexual term. [9]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Semen</span> Reproductive biofluid of male or hermaphroditic animals

Semen, also known as seminal fluid, is a bodily fluid that contains spermatozoa. Spermatozoa are secreted by the male gonads and other sexual organs of male or hermaphroditic animals and can fertilize the female ovum. In placental mammals, semen also contains secretions from the male accessory glands and is discharged from the penis through the urethral orifice during ejaculation. In humans, seminal fluid contains several components besides spermatozoa: proteolytic and other enzymes as well as fructose are elements of seminal fluid which promote the survival of spermatozoa and provide a medium through which they can move or "swim". The fluid is adapted to be discharged deep into the vagina, so the spermatozoa can pass into the uterus and form a zygote with an egg.
