Gerbils are the most common rodents to be allegedly inserted.

Gerbilling, also known as gerbil stuffing or gerbil shooting, is a rumoured 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. 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.[1][2] Rumors surrounding various male celebrities engaging in gerbilling have become persistent urban legends.[1][3][4]

As of the mid-1980s, there were no reports in peer-reviewed medical literature describing gerbilling among the variety of rectal foreign objects removed from people's bodies.[5][6]

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."[7]

Dan Savage, a sex-advice columnist who frequently discusses unusual sexual practices, stated in 2013 that he has never received a first-hand or even a second-hand account of the practice.[8]

According to the editors of Snopes.com, gerbilling is an unverified and persistent urban legend.[1]

In Poland, World War II historian Marek Jan Chodakiewicz's 2019 presentation of his book About the Civilization of Death at the Institute of National Remembrance's Warsaw Janusz Kurtyka Educational Center engendered controversy due to homophobic content, and in particular Chodakiewicz recounting that his ex-girlfriend Debbie, a registered nurse, extracted a fat-smeared hamster (teeth and claws removed) from the rectum of a gay man in 1984. Polish media stated that the hamster story is a well known urban legend, so well known that it has a Wikipedia page.[9][10][11][12] According to Chodakiewicz: "I wrote this book because it is important for Poles to know what awaits them if they do not oppose the civilization of death. I saw with my own eyes how LGBT, gender, and feminism emerged from the underground and was gradually embraced in American politics: introducing a new version of Marxism that I call Marxism-Lesbianism."[13]

In popular culture

A very prominent mention of gerbilling occurred on mainstream TV in the episode "The Death Camp of Tolerance", the fourteenth episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series South Park, aired on Comedy Central in the United States on November 20, 2002. Finally promoted to teaching fourth graders, Mr. Garrison realizes that getting fired for being homosexual could allow him to sue the school for millions. He decides to perform outrageous sex acts in the classroom, hiring his partner Mr. Slave as his teaching assistant. Though the children complain about Garrison's inappropriate activities, their parents mistakenly think their children are intolerant of homosexuality. Garrison, annoyed that no one has complained about his actions, steps up his campaign to get fired by shoving "Lemmiwinks", the class gerbil, into Mr. Slave's rectum, as an act of gerbilling.

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".[14]

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.[15]

In the ninth episode of the fourth season of the HBO original series "The Sopranos", Ralph Cifaretto becomes angry with fellow mafioso Paulie Walnuts for spreading rumors about him that nearly got him killed. In a humorous act of petty retribution, Ralph calls Paulie's elderly mother claiming to be a detective who had arrested Paulie, saying that he was "sucking a Cub Scout's dick," and adding that "We had to have emergency surgery performed upon arrival at headquarters after discovery of a small rodent in the rectal passage... A gerbil, ma'am."

In the novel American Psycho the protagonist inserts a rat into the vagina of a woman he later murders.
