Stuff magazine,a sister of Maxim mag,has an article on weird sexuals practices. Right there on page 130 is felching,also referred to as yerming. ! And they didn’t even give credit to the straight dope! 😉 ---

No, Maxim wasn’t the first. Ranger Rick magazine did a piece about it last spring, and there was a mention of the practice in the “Doggone Funny” part of last sundays Marmaduke comic. ---

Why make people look around the web? Shucks, here ya are: Felching: After the act of anal intercourse, a homosexual may decide to FELCH their counterpart. This is done by inserting a straw into the anal passage of the recently deflowered fudge-packer, and with a gentle sucking motion using their mouth to extract the semen, blood, and feces out of the ass of this person. The extracted goo is then swished around in the mouth and swallowed with much relish. Now you can run to the bathroom & upchuck that turkey. ---

MrKnowItAll’s Stream of Consciousness while Reading This Thread: Should be interesting. Maybe someone will tell me what it is. Hm. Heard of Maxim, but not Stuff. Ha. Funny. What’s the straw for? Ranger Rick & Doggone Funny (chuckle). Ah. Someone asks. Thanks PR. Aha! A link. I’ll check it out if I need to. Funny Rilch, but I hope you understand it was a joke. Gee, Cristi, it couldn’t be _that_ bad. People exagerate too much on these boards. Oh, and Odieman, too. Ah, handy comes through. Let’s see. Oh. Oh god. OH MAN! That’s… That’s… Arghhhhhhhhh… (fumbles with the mouse in an effort to get out of the thread quickly) ---

> [@](#): > > This is done by inserting a straw into the anal passage NO NO NO NO NO! Out of the x number of people who participate in this practice, I bet less than .0001% use a STRAW. There are so many reasons for this to be an UL that I don’t know where to begin… let’s just start at the simplest: There is no NEED for a straw nor any added benefit from one. Also, why stick something SHARP up there? And who has straws sitting around in the bedroom anyway? The whole straw thing is just so stupid… I bet the only people who have done it that way did it because they heard the stupid UL. * * * – O p a l C a t [www.opalcat.com](http://www.opalcat.com) ---

I’ve also heard the practice refered to as shrimping. Can anyone confirm this? And while I’m at it, Is tossing a salad the same as rimming? And, no, I don’t have an ass fetish.

Shrimpers are foot fetishists. The seafood word for felching that I’ve heard is “scrodding.” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/major-magazine-mentions-felching/11541.md?page=2)
