Teabagging is not healthy

The testicles aren't made to be subjected to strain.

I don't see how you'd be straining them unless you were pulling on them. Suckling isn't pulling. If you have links from "Harvard University ... or any other major university" please do post them. 47.28.179.232 (talk) 16:47, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The use of the passive voice in the caption of the illustration (woman being tea-bagged) suggests that the recipient remains wholly passive and serves merely as receptacle. If she reciprocates by sucking or biting the scrotum, this is not integral to the tea-bagging per se. Tea-bagging may, however, involve the stuffing of one's testicles through a narrow orifice, which can result in strain. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:F496:D5F7:A6E3:59B0 (talk) 13:42, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Use of Man in the Opening Section

I don't think it is fully accurate to use the term man here since it is entirely possible for transwomen or non-binary people to teabag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.36.141.51 (talk) 20:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

100.36.141.51 Transwomen and non-binary are still males, regardless of identity, they are still male. Penises and scrotums are male sexual characteristics, and belong to no other. CherryCola33 (talk) 23:35, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual imagery shows up on mouseover

While I was enjoying my breakfast this morning reading a completely unrelated wikipedia article my mouse cursor happened to pass over the word 'teabagging' and my screen filled with a picture of a dick and ballbags. Needless to say I did not enjoy the rest of my breakfast.

Can we remove that picture so it does not show up on mouseover? Since teabagging is a term used in gaming it is quite likely to appear to young people.

If your mouseover occurred on a truly unrelated use of the term, then the link there is out of order. I came across a similar mouse-over when tea bagging in the sexual sense was meant (reading about It is always sunny in Philadelphia), and was grateful for the immediate graphic explanation. Sex acts do not make me lose my lunch, but then I am not 12. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:F496:D5F7:A6E3:59B0 (talk) 13:45, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

-It is definitely far more appropriate to leave the image as an inline link rather than one that loads with the page.  There is a very simple reason for this.  It could easily qualify as an obscene image, offensive to a large group of people.  People use wikipedia to look up things they do not know.  So they may have no idea what teabagging is and be exposed to a (potentially) offensive image.  Please leave it as an inline link.--<small>[[User:Oni Ookami Alfador|Oni Ookami Alfador]]<sup>[[User talk:Oni Ookami Alfador|Talk]]|[[Special:Emailuser/Oni Ookami Alfador|@]]</sup></small> 08:06, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

-Okay this image is by definition of the word, explicit.  It shows bare human testicles, on a face.  A large portion of the population is offended by something like this, and as this is a public project should not be subjected to it unknowingly and unwillfully.  I am reverting again, answer and issue with it here.  An article censored so often obviously has reason to be.  Judging solely by the number of people censoring, vs the number reverting said censorship I think we have a consensus.  Unless of course anyone can cite a wikipedia guideline or policy that explicitly trumps removal of an inline image.--<small>[[User:Oni Ookami Alfador|Oni Ookami Alfador]]<sup>[[User talk:Oni Ookami Alfador|Talk]]|[[Special:Emailuser/Oni Ookami Alfador|@]]</sup></small> 05:33, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
-:[[WP:NOT]] censored. It's just too bad that the human body offends you and a "large portion of the population." In the end, it also breaks [[WP:NPOV]] because Wikipedia is not the judge of what is "explicit" or not "explicit." For example, I happen to consider images of [[Holocaust|tortured jews]] more "offending" than someone's scrotum. <code>// '''[[User:Paroxysm|paroxysm]]''' [[User talk:Paroxysm|(n)]]</code> 20:12, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
-:I can see the point in it. I could care less and am not really offended as a matter of fact.  However, it may be in the interest of the article, for the purpose of tactfulness, to consider one of a couple options.  It wouldn't hurt to replace this particular image with an artistic rendition, such as the articles in similar context [[Autofellatio]] and [[Tribadism]].  It has solved problems before and comes across a lot better as a whole.  It might also be sensible, although not necessary, to move the image in question nower in the page.  It looks like it might belong in the sexual act category anyway, as judging by the picture, the person being teabagged seems consious and without objection (both uncharacteristic of teabagging as a prank)--<small>[[User:Oni Ookami Alfador|Oni Ookami Alfador]]<sup>[[User talk:Oni Ookami Alfador|Talk]]|[[Special:Emailuser/Oni Ookami Alfador|@]]</sup></small> 00:29, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
-::I agree that it seems to belong in the sexual practice section, since it looks nothing like the actions described in the prank section, and putting it there also has the effect of moving it low enough on the page that most users will have to scroll down a bit to see it.  Personally, I'd prefer moving it to a link, since I think most people, while not necessarily offended, would prefer not to have the image on their screen without knowing that it was coming.  If nothing else, it makes Wikipedia a bit safer for work.  That said, moving the image lower down the page helps.  I'm not sure that using a drawing rather than a photo makes a significant difference relative to the tastefulness issue, but that might not be a bad idea simply to address the claim of copyright violation. [[User:Swillden|Swillden]] 21:51, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
-:::Wikipedia is not supposed to be work-safe. The picture depicts a prank, not a consensual sex act. <code>// '''[[User:Paroxysm|paroxysm]]''' [[User talk:Paroxysm|(n)]]</code> 22:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
-::::Why not make it less generally offensive and safer for work if the change can be made without removing the content?  The girl in the photo is clearly consenting, even enjoying the situation. [[User:Swillden|Swillden]] 22:26, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
-::::Look at the uncensored version: http://www.owned.com/Owned_Pictures/Funny_Owned_Pics/Just__the_Soft_and_Round_Balls/OWNED.html The woman in the picture clearly has her eyes closed.
-::::We are not going to make it "less offensive" because uncongeniality is purely a matter of opinion. [[WP:NPOV]]. Since it illustrates the prank, it should be placed beside the prank. <code>// '''[[User:Paroxysm|paroxysm]]''' [[User talk:Paroxysm|(n)]]</code> 22:29, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
-:::::The woman in the picture has her eyes closed because she's laughing, not because she's asleep, unconscious or unaware of what's happening.  She's clearly a willing participant, not a prankee. [[User:Swillden|Swillden]] 23:29, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
-::::::Since you're clearly ignoring the context of the act, which makes it quite obvious it's being done as a prank, not to turn someone on, here is [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Teabagging&diff=30953138&oldid=29949182 the original diff] of the image being added to accompany the article -- rate above the the prank's description. Hmmm. <code>// '''[[User:Paroxysm|Paroxysm]]''' [[User talk:Paroxysm|(n)]]</code> 01:18, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
-:::::Where the image goes is really no big deal.  I gave an option, it was not taken, no harm no foul. Paroxysm's right.  Somehow that part of wikipedia policy slipped by, so boo on my part, and the image should stay, and does not ''need'' to be moved or replaced.  However, I still hold that it might be sensible to replace the image with one similar to that on the other sex act articles (even though the image in question is a prank).  While there is nothing wrong with the current image, the other one may be "more right" if that makes sense at all.--<small>[[User:Oni Ookami Alfador|Oni Ookami Alfador]]<sup>[[User talk:Oni Ookami Alfador|Talk]]|[[Special:Emailuser/Oni Ookami Alfador|@]]</sup></small> 05:54, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
-::::::I'm not sure I agree about the prankishness of the image, but I seem to be in the minority on that, so I'll give.  I've moved the image back, and also re-orderd the sections, placing the sexual practice section at the top.  That both pushes the image lower on the page and puts the prank section next to the video game section, which seems appropriate given their similarity.  I agree that replacing the image with another (perhaps hand-drawn) image is a good idea, particularly since it would also address the question of the copyright violation.
