    Please explain like I’m 5, and a non-native speaker, what “rawdog” means 🧐

      Literal Eli5: “it’s a slang term that some people use, but it isn’t something you should worry about right now. It’s meant for adults”

      Since I’m becoming a father soon, I started learning responses like this

        This is how you end up with a generation of kids who grow up using “rawdog” to mean something other than “unprotected sex”. Just talk to your kids about sex.

          Well Billy, it’s when a penis penetrates persons vagina or anus without using a condom.

          Have fun now explaining condoms or why they would put a penis inside someone, to a person who is still learning how to wipe their own ass properly.

          Part of the reason why parents dodge these questions is because they know that more questions will follow, and while kids absolutely should be learning about sex (as in, having healthy sexual relationships) from their parents, that’s a conversation that’s better started a little closer to puberty.

          Omg the downvotes, people are not ready to have open educational conversations with their kids or am I missing something?

          What, you mean kids won’t learn dirty words properly if they don’t hear them from their parents? That’s one theory of development.

      Just in case you really needed an answer.

      In a sexual context, having sex without protection. In conversational context, it pretty much means with no support or accessories. So her “raw dogging” a bus ride means no music/entertainment, she’s just going to have to look out the window or something.

        Not just without protection, also without lube or foreplay of any kind. That’s an important distinction.

      Specifically, “raw” is rather obvious - meaning unprepared, as in to not use a condom

      But the dog part comes from a more sinister usage where to “dog someone out” was to “pimp someone out” - ie coerce someone into sex work.
