Talk:Gerbilling

IT IS NOT A MYTH. There was an article about in the New York Times in the late 80s or early 90s. Hospital emergency room doctors said they had patients with injuries sustained from gerbling.

Other homosexual slanders

similarly, many rumors have been spread about various celebrities having large quantities of semen pumped from their stomachs. if there isn't an article on that, or on homosexual slanders in general, there should be, and this article should link to it. Akb4 23:14, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Felching and Gerbilling are not similar

One involves a small animal, one involves a straw. They should not be listed as the same/similar thing.

and they aren't. Felching, BTW, hardly requires a straw. It's inclusion here as a See also link seems acceptable although a template on sexual practices might be better. -- Banjeboi 12:04, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I think the myth might not be so implausible

When I was a kid we were told that gays liked to put a gerbil down a tube connected to his anus so that its whiskers would tickle him, not scaring it into cramming its way in there.. which is just ridiculous.. but the whisker-tickles idea makes sense somewhat. That's a sensitive spot.

Felching does not necessarily involve a straw - T

Family Guy Gerbil References

There was another one in that show where they're watching tv and the show is called... [someone's name] and the anus... and when it cuts back to the family, Peter says something like 'oh yeah remember that time when he got a gerbil stuck in his throat?' —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.106.254.13 (talk) 00:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC).

Sherry and The Anus, I believe, was the name of the fictional show. -- Banjeboi 12:05, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Rumors

This is just getting ridiculous. Some reference needs to be made to the fact that several unnamed male celebrities have had rumors spread about them, especially seeing as the link to Snopes deals with the subject. In order to not violate the BLP policy, we will just not name them, and revert if names are added. It is unacceptable to just refuse to address it. Algabal 22:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Please also note, the book reference I included can be viewed on Google Books, and does not mention anyone by name either! As several rumors (we noted they are false) have been spread about several male celebrities, not just one, and we are not naming them, this is not libel nor does it violate BLP.

Pulled unsourced statement

Does it need to be said that A medical doctor who works in an ICU in Nevada (currently remaining anonymous) explains that there have been reports of "gerbilling", and describes that it possibly originated in an underground or black market culture in France. The process is described as putting an animal, wrapped or unable to cause damage, inside the rectum. As the animal suffocates and dies, it convulses and vibrates, purportedly causing pleasure to the practicer. is unacceptable? Information must be verifiable. -- Akb4 07:39, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Rumours about specific individuals

The fact that certain individuals have been the subject of a rumour does not mean that Wikipedia should continue to perpetuate what is, to all appearances, a completely untrue statement. It does not matter how many sources say "Celebrity X was the subject of Vicious Rumour Y" - unless there are reliable sources that say that something actually happened, it just plain doesn't belong here. Before adding information about any specific person to this article, first read Wikipedia's policy on biographical information about living people. If you have further questions about the interpretation of this policy with respect to the use of rumour in articles (even rumours that have been discussed in multiple sources), please ask at the Biography Noticeboard or the talk page of WP:BLP.

Let's try to keep the discussion to the article, people. Exploding Boy (talk) 16:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Mice in vaseline

The below may be relevant to this wiki page. Specifically, the page casts things as "hypothetical" while this article appears to be a WP:RS for making it fact, not hypothetical. But I'll leave this for others to decide and edit according:

• Douglas Spink Arrested In BESTIALITY Case: Mice In Vaseline, Dogs, Horses Found At Exitpoint Stallions Limitee, 16 Apr 2010.

Thanks. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 15:30, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

• Felon Accused of Running Animal-Sex Farm in Whatcom County; A convicted drug smuggler and horse trainer appeared before a federal magistrate on Friday after his arrest for allegedly operating a rural Whatcom County business that catered to people who want to have sex with animals, 16 Apr 2010. "At this point, we don't know how many people visited this location or how many engaged in illegal conduct," the sheriff said. "We'll see as the federal investigation unfolds."

One more. And the results of that investigation may change this Wiki page to get rid of "hypothetical," etc. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 15:41, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
