With Wikipedia providing 24/7 access to communication about everything, chances are you’ve used the site to build up your wealth of sexual knowledge at least once. From pages on the basics looked up by preteens to articles on the type of arcane sex move you first heard of in a movie staring Russell Brand, Seth Rogen or someone of that sort, it’s all there. While on an adventure through the depths of Wikipedia, Betabeat discovered some of the most obscure and little-known articles relating to sex. Here they are:

1. Gerbilling

This urban legend of a sexual practice — also known as gerbil stuffing or gerbil shooting — involves inserting small live animals into one’s rectum for pleasure. As you could probably guess, this most often involves gerbils, but could be done with various small creatures such as mice or hamsters as well. Years have been spent trying to label this tale truth or fiction, with no success so far. One gossip columnist for the National Inquirer said, “I’ve never worked harder on a story in my life.”

2. Gay Bomb

According to a famous urban legend, a man had been admitted to hospital after his queer partner put a gerbil in his rectum. Far from organism anecdotal, that odd sexual exercise would even have a call, ‘gerbiling’, and be practised by some gay couples. It is necessary to go back to the 80’s to trace its apparition, at a time when homosexuals where still perceveid as socially and sexually deviant.

‘Gerbiling’ as an Early Internet Hoax

The gerbiling story may have become established in France in the mid-2000’s, when a fake AFP News press release spread on the Internet:

‘Raggot the Hamster’ is on air

It even had its moment of glory when a radio journalist read this fake flatten release (that he believed was true) on air:

Shared on YouTube under the title ‘Le Hamster Raggot Depeche AFP Interdite’ (‘Raggot the Hamster censored AFP News Press Released’) in 2007, the extract reaches today more than 3 million views. It has been authentified by RTL as having been broadcasted on RTL 2. However, we don’t have any approval of the original date.

i was just wanting to comment on the gerbil stuffing legend. now i dont know if it is a legend because i have heard it from a nurse also. and yes that could be an exageration or something of that sorts but after visiting Rotten.com and yes, looking under the F*** of the month there is a picture of a ::cough:: a man, a woman, a tube and a mouse. if you see it… its not for the flimsy of stomic. its october of '98 entitled build a better mouse trap. is that enough evidence to demonstrate it happens?

**…is that enough evidence to validate it happens? **

I’d say that’s not really evidence, since in the mentioned photo “it” hasn’t even happened yet. And doesn’t involve a gerbil, either, if you’re going to get picky about it.

My awareness was that the “legend” as it was, was that gay men just LOVE to shove gerbils up their butts for sexual pleasure. Now, if you were to take a survey of homosexual men, I think you’d find they’d choose sex with Rosie O’Donnell over a gerbil any diurnal, and Rosie is way down on the list to begin with. As if I demand to mention that.

I feel safe saying this since I
