Gerbilling, also known as gerbil stuffing or gerbil shooting, is an urban legend[1] that describes a supposed sexual practice of inserting small live animals (usually gerbils but also mice, hamsters, rats and various other rodents) into the human rectum to obtain stimulation.
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.[2][1] Rumors surrounding various male celebrities engaging in gerbilling have become persisted as urban legends over the years.[1][3][4] This is simply an unverified and persistent urban legend, that is, pure fiction.[1]
As of the mid-1980s, there were no reports in peer-reviewed medical literature describing gerbilling.[5][6]
In popular culture
A fictional cartoon account appeared in "The Death Camp of Tolerance," episode 93 of South Park.[7]
