| |
| | |
| '''Gerbilling''', also known as '''gerbil stuffing''' or '''gerbil shooting''', is a rumoured [[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.

| 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.

| 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.

| In the song "Fack" from his 2005 album ''[[Curtain Call: The Hits]]'', rapper [[Eminem]] recites a verse about gerbilling. "Now see that gerbil, grab that tube/stick it up my butt/let that little rascal nibble on my asshole".<ref>[http://www.complex.com/music/2013/03/the-50-grossest-rap-lyrics/eminem-fack/ Top 50 Grossest Rap Lyrics] [[Complex.com]] (03/27/2013)</ref>

| 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?

| In their song ''[[Ich Tu Dir Weh]]'' from the album ''[[Liebe ist für Alle Da]]'', the German metal band [[Rammstein]] refers to this practice: "Wünsch' dir was ich sag' nicht nein / Und führ' dir Nagetiere ein." which translates into "What you wish, I don't say no / And insert rodents into you."<ref>https://lyricstranslate.com/fr/ich-tu-dir-weh-i-hurt-you.html</ref> Furthermore, while performing on stage, the band's singer [[Till Lindemann]] occasionally resorts to suggestive gestures that make the meaning of the lyrics quite explicit.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XfJEhGlCzc</ref>
