Template:AfDM Gerbilling also known as gerbil stuffing or gerbil shooting refers to the hypothetical insertion of small animals, usually gerbils but also mice, hamsters, and various other rodents into a man's rectum, supposedly to stimulate the prostate as in anal sex. Contrary to the popularity of the legend of its existence, gerbilling is unknown as an actual 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.
Medical literature, which covers examples of items retrieved from patients' rectums in extreme detail, has never recorded a case of an animal having being removed from a patient, nor of damage inflicted on a patient's insides due to rectal insertion of an animal. Rumors surrounding various male celebrities engaging in gerbilling have become popular urban legends over the years.[1]
According to the Urban Legends Reference Pages (Snopes):
The notion of gerbilling (not necessarily restricted to homosexuals — the insertion of items into the rectum for purposes of auto-eroticism is practiced by heterosexuals as well) appears to be pure invention...
