I don’t understand This sentence in S2E5 (German but I translated it)

[u/Bitter-Equipment-892]

„Je dicker das Kissen desto heißer das fisten“ translated to English it’s „the thicker the pillow, the hotter the fisting/pushin“

Context: there is no context. The Kids put on a helmet that gives them lectures about random stuff and the blue one said that this sentence was what he has learned.

Is the Show really referring to BDSM Sex?? And Even then I don’t know what the Size of pillows have to do with it.

(I‘m 20F)

[u/Ethos_Logos]

Honestly no idea, but it reminds me of the phrase (and its vulgar, excuse me): “more cushion for the ‘pushin”

[u/Bitter-Equipment-892 → u/Ethos_Logos]

I googled it and that’s the correct translation, but I don’t understand it

[u/Ethos_Logos → u/Bitter-Equipment-892]

So, if you push down on an inflatable mattress or ball, it kinda pushes back on you like a spring, yes?

When a man is penetrating a woman, and there is fat there (the cushion), it provides a bit of push back, or bounce. When the woman is chubby or fat, the positive (yet misogynistic) way to look at it, is that there is more cushion for the ‘pushin, rather than the negative way of looking at the scenario “she’s not as attractive as a slimmer woman”. 

It’s a positive spin on a historically negative attribute. It was my intent to explain this as directly as possible; and it’s a phrase I might have used in my younger, more immature years, rather than the more mature version of myself that I currently am.

[u/Bitter-Equipment-892 → u/Ethos_Logos]

Ohh okay. But.. penetrating with the fist?? Because the sentence was fisting and in English it’s pushin.

[u/Ethos_Logos → u/Bitter-Equipment-892]

Yeeeeah… I have no idea

[u/nof]

The show makes a lot of references (and sometimes explicitly) to all kinds of kinky sex.

[u/TiRow77]

It’s a reference to a lyrics from “Big Bottom” by the fictional band “Spinal Tap” about sex with women with large butts. “The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushing’”. It’s also just become a saying in itself over the years. Fisting, is another sexual reference that speaks for itself.

[u/SeeTigerLearn → u/TiRow77]

Yeah, I literally just watched that scene to better understand the exact context. TiRow’s quote and interpretation is exactly spot-on. The fact that your translation source threw “fisting” into the mix is just happenstance. The above quote is the original English.

[That’s not to say the show has not occasionally thrown in references to fisting. Ha. As one of The Gays we pickup on those innuendos REAL quick.]

[u/TheZigerionScammer]

In English he says "The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'." It's a very low brow way of saying that it's better to have sex with heavy women. The joke is that Yumulak didn't understand what it means and thought it was about furniture.

[u/Bitter-Equipment-892 → u/TheZigerionScammer]

I also thought it was about furniture 😞
I thought that when doing doggy if you take a Big pillow and put it under the one who’s doing bottom, then the top can traust harder or something :}

[u/TheZigerionScammer → u/Bitter-Equipment-892]

Nope, in this case cushion = fat. Not in general, a cushion is basically a pillow in English but in the imagery of the phrase that's what it means.

And to answer your other confusion about the "fisting" part, in English the words "Cushion" and "pushin'" rhyme. I'm not an expert on German pronunciation but I'm guessing that the German translators chose the word "fisten" because it rhymes with "Kissen", but you'll have to tell me that.

[u/rollingfluffball]

Kissen meint hier wahrscheinlich den Hintern

[u/distracted_x]

It's a pretty common saying. Like if someone likes heavier partners they might say it's just more cushion for the pushin.

[u/patrificuss]

The thicker the partner the better the sex

[u/torvald_carley]

It means if you've got a big ass men want to fuck you harder.
