In the age of terms like “seggs,” “le-dollar-bean” and all of TikTok’s strange algospeak, the platform’s ever-horny audience recently discovered a new workaround to sharing their steamiest without parching the site’s famously strict “community guidelines”: split-second thirst traps.

Set to a mix of Shaggy’s “Bombastic,” these blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments have taken the platform by storm, depicting mostly women – and a handful of men – walking around the camera before cutting to a steamy split-second clip.

Though one of the earliest iterations – a clip of creator @za_vali flashing a pair of short shorts hiding beneath her sweatpants dating to last June – amassed more than 1.0 million likes, these subtle thirst traps have only grown in popularity. Creator @cutestbartenderever, has even dedicated her entire channel to offering various takes on the trend.

But it’s not just TikTokers getting in on the fun. Several OnlyFans creators have also tried their hand at the trend, often playing into their niches on the site like @besthighschoolteacher, whose viral version of the trend quickly went viral.

So if you’re looking for a sign to quicken your clicks, let it be this … or just save the video and pause like a normal person. Work smarter, not harder.
