Splosh!

Splosh! is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Splosh! rather than just read about it. In short: Splosh! was originally a British fetish magazine devoted to wet and messy fetishism. It featured pictures of, and stories about, men and women in wet and messy situations.

Key takeaways

Splosh! belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Splosh! to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Splosh! from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Splosh! was originally a British fetish magazine devoted to wet and messy fetishism. It featured pictures of, and stories about, men and women in wet and messy situations. First published in 1989, it was run by Horny Hayley and Bill Shipton (a pseudonym of Clive Harris). By 2002 the magazine had around 7,000 subscribers worldwide, and the business had added a website. Splosh also evolved into a wet and messy fetish video production house, releasing a whole string of movies, originally on VHS tape, then DVD and eventually, via Internet download stores. The magazine ended in 2001 after 40 issues, and is widely regarded as the quintessential publication on the fetish, even giving rise to the eponymous term sploshing. Following the end of the print magazine run, the Splosh website and its associated forum rose to prominence as a counterbalance to UMD.net, the scene's dominant forum. Several of the magazine's former models took part in video sketches released as digital downloads, such as Samantha-Jane Homden, Anne-Marie Dixon and Decadent Doll. The success of Splosh! as a magazine was featured in Episode 4 of Season 1 of the Channel 5 TV show UK Raw in 2001. Splosh! founder Clive Harris died suddenly on 12 July 2013. Subsequently, in early 2014, the splosh.co.uk website was shut down, and on 31 March 2014 the three Splosh download stores hosted on the Vidown system, Splosh, Splosh Greatest Hits, and Splosh Messy Princess, were all shut down. It was believed at the time that the website closures would be permanent.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Splosh!

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Splosh! claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Splosh! before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Splosh! ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Splosh!

In research: Splosh! appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Splosh! in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Splosh! is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Defunct magazines published in the United Kingdom, Fetish magazines, Magazines disestablished in 2014, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Splosh! outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
