Rename.: Body Sponge

As the creator of this trope, I apologize for its poor quality. It's intended to refer to a (generally well-endowed) female character rubbing a love interest's body with her breasts in a bathing context. It feels like a somewhat more specific version of Marshmallow Hell, but it's distinct and common enough to stand alone, I think. I also propose it be renamed Breast Sponge, though that may have the same ambiguity problem as the current name.

Breast Sponge gives a lot more context than body sponge. For one there's a reference to actual breasts in it.

Another idea I had way back at the YKTTW stage was to make it a Stock Phrase - "Let Me Clean You With My Body" is the most general form. Possibly that would be more clear than the current alternatives? I'd be willing to do the rewrite, if this proposal gets picked up.

So, No new votes in a while... 13 for 1 against. I guess it's time for a multiple proposition crowner to rename?

Voting appears to have stalled. Looks like the consensus is for Breast Sponge with Intimate Bathing as a redirect. Any last-minute objections or votes?

I would not describe 12 for, 6 against (+6) as clear consensus, though it is the current winner.

You don't consider two thirds in favor as clear consensus?

^^ Two-thirds majority out of 18 total votes? That's about as much feedback as you can generally expect.

Sorry, I meant to say more, but my internet connection is not so good today, thanks to all the snow. We had clear consensus on the rename vote. And with the alt crowner, Breast Sponge is certainly the winner with a good positive count, enough that we normally do the rename with that count. I just wouldn't describe 12 vs 6 as consensus; I think we use the term a little too freely, and with it coming ever closer to meaning "majority."

I see it's 14 to 6 now, which is great.

By the way, I now have Boob Loofah stuck in my head. Thank you, TV Tropes.

I guess a better term than "consensus" would have been "supermajority". Anyway, it seems there's a new option added, so I'm gonna let this stew a bit longer.

[up] On reconsideration, I think I was wrong to say it, and I apologize for it. I was thinking of consensus as the term is used in my field, where it is supposed to mean only very few objectors; if I used the term, I would mean there was only something like 5-10% dissent. Here it doesn't need to mean that, and now I see that the first dictionary definition is just "majority of opinion."

Rrgh, the thing is, this is a pretty common Japanese thing. It's something bath house girls — in bath houses that have such employees — do, apparently... Hmmm... Trying to make Bath House Girl fit the action instead of the person is tricky, though.

Voting appears to have stalled again. Now, to rewrite or not to rewrite. If there is to be a rewrite, the one person who shouldn't do it is me. So really, I'm asking for volunteers... or should we start a whole new repair shop thread after renaming this to work on that issue?

Also: redirects yes/no?

2/3 in favor of one name, again. I'm renaming it. If someone else wants to re-write it, fine by me.

There, it's done. Breast Sponge. Body Sponge is a redirect for the time being, but I put it up for a cut since it's only ever brought in ten surfers (and I bet most of those were from when I posted the link on my facebook page). I also redid the wicks, there weren't very many. I suggest this thread be closed.
