Gerbilling
Gerbilling, also known as gerbil stuffing or gerbil shooting, is the alleged sexual practice of inserting a gerbil or other small rodent into one's rectum to obtain stimulation. Gerbilling is considered an urban legend and there is no evidence that the practice has ever occurred in real life. Its existence remains highly dubious, as all rodents have long nails and teeth for digging or burrowing and naturally try to burrow out of any small spaces.
