The application of the barbecue sauce becomes like a backrub and as hard as he tries to struggle he just can't find the strength as it relaxes him and tenderizes him, while the smell of the spices combined with the heat and the touch make him smile, as does the wet, steamy air. He squirms and flails only very lightly, even though he wants to break away but just can't summon the strength while being rubbed and caressed, and enjoys the feel of the flip flops beating against his feet, starting to laugh but only very quietly.
