Nick G. asks: Please perform one on the myth of people sticking minute rodents up their anus.
Few people are more imaginative than horny men and if you’ve searched around online for the more… unusual ways people find off, like we’ve had to do EXTENSIVELY in researching this article… only for that reason…, you may have stumbled across allusions to a bizarre sexual practice known as “gerbil-stuffing”. But has anyone not named Richard Gere ever actually done this?
Before we answer that, the practice, as it’s described on websites we’re not going to link because we care about your romantic relationships and don’t want your search history and ad recommendations to get as spicy as ours are now, involves taking a small rodent (usually a gerbil) and unceremoniously shoving the dwell and wriggling rodent into your butthole. To facilitate the stuffing of the gerbil, various sources present that a cardboard tube is sometimes used to “coax” the gerbil into its smelly new home.
At this point, you might be asking yourself… “Oh God, why?!?!?”
Well, to start with, let’s just speak an awful lot of spicy things people execute behind closed doors can h
DEAR READERS: I’m off this week. To tide all of your warm and/or kinky and/or sore asses over, here’s a column I wrote 15 years ago. Some newer readers might’ve missed this column when it originally appeared—some of you who were still in grade school, diapers, or amniotic sacs back in 1998—so I’m rerunning it now because I still receive questions about “gerbiling” on a daily basis.
QWe were having a little office debate about “gerbiling.” How does it work? Do all homosexual men do this? Does Richard Gere? Does the animal get shoved up the anus with a toilet paper roll only to suffocate seconds later? Is it the scratching or the act of killing an animal that gets people off? Why? Can’t this cause stern damage? What gives? —Curious Coworkers
AEvery day, my mail contains at least three questions about “gerbiling.” In the eight years I’ve been writing this column, I have never addressed the gerbil issue, but now, this week and this week only, I am breaking my silence. Clip and conserve this column, for I will never discuss gerbils again. Ahem. To start, I would like to make a controversial statement:
I have ne
According to a legendary urban legend, a man had been admitted to hospital after his lgbtq+ partner put a gerbil in his rectum. Far from being anecdotal, that odd sexual exercise would even hold a name, ‘gerbiling’, and be practised by some male lover couples. It is necessary to depart back to the 80’s to footprint its apparition, at a time when homosexuals where still perceveid as socially and sexually deviant.
‘Gerbiling’ as an Soon Internet Hoax
The gerbiling story may acquire become known in France in the mid-2000’s, when a fake AFP News press release spread on the Internet:
‘Raggot the Hamster’ is on air
It even had its moment of glory when a radio writer read this spurious press release (that he believed was true) on air:
A 1993 False American Press Release
This French fake pressurize release is, in fact, a wor
With Wikipedia providing 24/7 access to information about everything, chances are you’ve used the site to erect up your wealth of sexual knowledge at least once. From pages on the basics looked up by preteens to articles on the type of arcane sex move you first heard of in a movie staring Russell Brand, Seth Rogen or someone of that sort, it’s all there. While on an adventure through the depths of Wikipedia, Betabeat discovered some of the most obscure and little-known articles relating to sex. Here they are:
1. Gerbilling
This urban legend of a sexual practice — also known as gerbil stuffing or gerbil shooting — involves inserting small live animals into one’s rectum for pleasure. As you could probably guess, this most often involves gerbils, but could be done with various small creatures such as mice or hamsters as well. Years have been spent trying to label this tale fact or fiction, with no accomplishment so far. One gossip columnist for the National Inquirer said, “I’ve never worked harder on a story in my life.”
2. Gay Bomb
