| __NOTOC__

| '''Gerbilling''', also known as '''gerbil stuffing''' or '''gerbil shooting''', is a [[human sexual behavior|sexual practice]] of inserting small live animals (usually [[gerbil]]s but also [[mouse|mice]], [[hamster]]s, [[rat]]s and various other [[rodents]]) into the human [[rectum]] to obtain stimulation. Some variations of reports suggest that the rodent be covered in a psychoactive substance such as cocaine prior to being inserted.

| ==Overview== | |
| According to folklorist [[Jan Harold Brunvand]], accounts of gerbilling were first recorded in 1984 and initially were said to involve a mouse and an unidentified man. In subsequent versions of the story, the animal was a gerbil and the story applied to several male celebrities.<ref name="snopes">{{cite web |url=http://www.snopes.com/risque/homosex/gerbil.asp |title=From Gere to eternity |date=2001-11-18|author=Barbara and David P.

| According to [[Snopes.com]] writers, gerbilling is simply an unverified and persistent urban legend that is pure fiction.<ref name="snopes"/>

| [[Dan Savage]], a well-known sex-advice columnist who frequently discusses unusual sexual practices, has stated that he has never received a first-hand or even a second-hand account of the practice.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/SavageLove?oid=16295662 |title=Gerbils?

| Mike Walker, a ''[[National Enquirer]]'' gossip columnist, spent months attempting to verify the gerbilling rumors about a celebrity. "I've never worked harder on a story in my life," Walker told the ''[[Palm Beach Post]]'' in 1995. After much investigation, he was unable to find any evidence that a gerbilling incident ever happened: "I'm convinced that it's nothing more than an urban legend."<ref>{{cite book|title=L.A.

| Nonetheless, the practice of gerbilling remains in popular culture. A February 2015 episode of ''[[Family Feud]]'' featured a woman who immediately answered "a gerbil" when host [[Steve Harvey]] asked "Name something a doctor would pull out of a person." The response produced prolonged laughter from the audience and a stunned silence from Harvey; even the other contestant at the podium burst out laughing over her response. The clip of the scene from the episode quickly went [[Viral video|viral]].<ref>[http://fox13now.com/2015/02/12/she-said-what-possibly-the-most-awkward-answer-ever-shouted-on-game-show/ She said what?
