Teabagging

Teabagging refers to the prank of repeatedly dunking a person in water while restrained within a bag. This is a common boys' boarding school prank. It should be noted that this predates any known usage of the term below.

Teabagging is an act carried out by a man placing his testicles on another person or object, usually as a prank but sometimes for sexual purposes. The act got its name from its supposed similarity to the action of dipping a teabag. Some call the activity braining, after the appearance of the scrotum.

As a prank, teabagging is inflicted on a sleeping or unconscious victim, and usually involves the man placing his testicles on the victim's face. Photographs are often taken of this pose as a part of the prank in order to further humiliate the victim.

As a sexual practice, teabagging involves a man dipping his testicles into the mouth of his partner as a form of non-penetrative oral sex. Sometimes teabagging is taken to specifically mean the act of a male stripper repeatedly tapping and grinding their testicles into someone's forehead.

Teabagging first entered pop culture in John Waters' cult film Pecker (as an act banned in a particular male strip club) and the term was more recently seen on the television series Sex and the City. It appeared again in the film Soul Plane included in a list of sexual acts and later defined. It also appears in America: The Book by the staff of The Daily Show and has been referenced on the television show by its host, Jon Stewart.
