__NOTOC__<br />
'''Gerbilling''', also known as '''gerbil stuffing''' or '''gerbil shooting''', refers to the supposed practice of inserting small animals, usually [[gerbil]]s but also [[mouse|mice]], [[hamster]]s, [[rat]]s and various other [[rodents]] into a human [[rectum]], supposedly to stimulate the prostate as in [[anal sex]]. Contrary to the popularity of the legend, gerbilling is unknown as an actual [[human sexual behavior|sexual practice]], and despite apparently widespread public belief and persistent rumours, especially in the 1980s, no verified medical evidence of gerbilling exists, and its status is that of an [[urban legend]]. According to the [[Urban Legends Reference Pages]] (Snopes) inserting items into the rectum for purposes of [[auto-eroticism]] is practiced by people regardless of sexuality.<br />
<br />
Rumors surrounding various male celebrities engaging in gerbilling have become popular urban legends over the years.<ref name=Brunvand2001b /> [[Jan Harold Brunvand]] records that the urban legend began in 1984, and initially involved a mouse and an unidentified gay man, but that in subsequent years this metamorphosed into a gerbil, and was applied to several named male celebrities that were publicly supposed to be gay, most commonly [[Richard Gere]].<ref name=Brunvand2001a /><br />
<br />
==People Affected==<br />
Richard Gere is the most commonly thought of person when Gerbilling is mentioned. In 1984 he was hospitalized for having an item lodged in his anus and resulting anal bleeding. After it was rumored this item was a gerbil his career took a turn for the worst. In 2006 [[Sylvester Stallone]] publicly stated that he believes Richard Gere blames him personally for starting the rumor. Questioning if Stallone was slyly trying to take credit for it many now believe Stallone did in fact create the rumor.<br />
What is for certain is that the pain will not stop until the world can accept Gerbilling and cease to judge those who engage in it.<br />
